Summary

This study tested whether removing the drainage tube after kidney stone surgery (tubeless PCNL) reduces pain and the need for painkillers compared to the standard method. Sixty adults with large kidney stones were randomly assigned to one of the two procedures. The goal was to see if the tubeless approach is a safer, more comfortable option.
