Open pyeloplasty is a common surgical intervention for pediatric patients with ureteropelvic junction obstruction. Post-operative management strategies, including the use of a double J stent and a percutaneous feeding tube, vary widely. While both options have demonstrated effectiveness in drainage, their relative clinical outcomes, costs, and overall value in pediatric urology remain unclear. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) aims to compare the clinical efficacy and cost-effectiveness of these two post-operative interventions in pediatric patients undergoing open pyeloplasty.
