Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the clinical outcomes of percutaneous nephrostomy in patients who develop hematuria during antegrade double j stent placement. Materials and methods: We conducted a multicenter retrospective cross-sectional study, reviewing medical records from January 2016 June 2024, identify underwent placement developed hematuria. Percutaneous procedures were performed under ultrasound fluoroscopic guidance. Results: The included 151 with mean age 65.9 ± 15.3 years; 46 (30.5%) female, 105 (69.5%) male. Hematuria was observed 20 (8.9%) 225 procedures. significantly more common benign conditions (35%) compared malignant tumors (9.2%) (p=0.003). Postoperative 118 (52.4%) Among hematuria, 11 (55%) received nephrostomy, 9 (45%) without though this difference not statistically significant (p=0.811). Conclusion: appears be an effective intervention for managing undergoing However, did find incidence placement, indicating need further research larger sample sizes confirm these findings optimize postoperative management strategies.
