Study Summary

The purpose of the study is to assess and compare the efficacy and morbidity standard percutaneous nephrolithotomy with tubeless PNL. A total of approximately 60 patients will be enrolled. Patients will be randomized to one of four groups: standard percutaneous nephrostomy, double-J ureteral stent, open-ended ureteral catheter and no nephrostomy or ureteral stent/catheter. Primary Outcome Measures will include length of procedure and estimated blood loss. Post-operative analgesic use (both parenteral and oral), pain scores, time to ambulation, time to oral intake, and pain scores will also be recorded. Time to nephrostomy tube removal, external ureteral and Foley catheter removal and patient discharge from the hospital will also be recorded. Incidence and type of post-operative complications will also be recorded.
