Summary

Calculous anuria caused by obstructing upper ureteral stones in a solitary functioning kidney is a urological emergency requiring urgent decompression. Both retrograde JJ ureteral stenting and percutaneous nephrostomy are commonly used emergency drainage methods. However, limited evidence is available regarding whether the initial drainage method affects subsequent definitive flexible ureteroscopy/retrograde intrarenal surgery outcomes.

This multicenter prospective randomized controlled trial will compare emergency JJ ureteral stent drainage versus percutaneous nephrostomy drainage in adult patients presenting with calculous anuria due to a single upper ureteral stone in a solitary functioning kidney. After renal functional improvement, clinical stabilization, and appropriate urine culture management, all participants will undergo standardized definitive flexible ureteroscopy/retrograde intrarenal surgery. The study will assess renal functional recovery, first-session surgical success, stone-free rate, operative parameters, complications, and microbiological outcomes.

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Initial JJ Ureteral Stent Drainage

Retrograde cystoscopic placement of a 6 Fr JJ ureteral stent for initial upper urinary tract decompression in patients presenting with calculous anuria due to a single upper ureteral stone in a solitary functioning kidney. After renal functional improvement, clinical stabilization, and appropriate urine culture management, participants will undergo standardized definitive flexible ureteroscopy/retrograde intrarenal surgery.

PROCEDURE

Initial Percutaneous Nephrostomy Drainage

Ultrasound-guided placement of an 8 Fr percutaneous nephrostomy tube for initial upper urinary tract decompression in patients presenting with calculous anuria due to a single upper ureteral stone in a solitary functioning kidney. After renal functional improvement, clinical stabilization, and appropriate urine culture management, participants will undergo standardized definitive flexible ureteroscopy/retrograde intrarenal surgery.
