Obstructive urolithiasis complicated by urosepsis is a life-threatening medical emergency requiring urgent urinary tract decompression. Emergency drainage is typically achieved by either retrograde ureteral stent (RUS) insertion or percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN). Following clinical stabilization and resolution of infection, percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is commonly performed as definitive stone treatment. This prospective comparative study aims to evaluate and compare the outcomes of subsequent PCNL between patients who underwent emergency drainage via retrograde ureteral stent and those who underwent percutaneous nephrostomy. The main outcomes to be compared include stone-free rates, operative time, blood loss, postoperative complications, length of hospital stay, and the need for auxiliary procedures.
