Comparison of double-J stenting versus ureteral catheters in percutaneous nephrolithotomy

This randomised control trial (open label) aims at comparing the placement of uretral catheters in patient post PCNL (intervention) with those in whom double J stents have been placed (the accepted standard). The study primarily aims to determine if the stent related symptoms are significantly less in ureteral catheter arm and secondarily to determine if there is any significant increase in other post operative complications (urinary extravasation, bleeding)
