Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the necessity of double-J (DJ) stent insertion after tubeless percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) for staghorn stones, comparing outcomes between two patient groups: one with DJ stents and the other with ureteral catheters.
- Results showed that while the operative time was longer for patients with DJ stents, they had shorter hospital stays and a higher stone-free rate; however, those without stents returned to normal life faster.
- The authors recommend using DJ stents due to the higher residual stone rate in those without stents, which can lead to more complications and longer recovery times.
