Background/aim:   We  aimed  to  compare  the  success  rate  of  percutaneous  nephrostomy  (PCN)  and  double  J  stenting  (DJS)  in  the   treatment of symptomatic pregnancy hydronephrosis.  Materials and methods:  Diagnosis and grading of hydronephrosis were performed by urinary ultrasound (USG) and Doppler mode  was used for evaluation of renal arterial resistivity index (RI). Patients were divided into two groups according to the method used for  the treatment of hydronephrosis: group A (PCN, n = 38) and group B (DJS, n = 46). A P value &lt; 0.05 was considered significant. Results:  The number of patients requiring second intervention was higher in group B (P = 0.0018) and time to secondary intervention  was significantly earlier in group B also (P = 0.0025). The number of tertiary intervention was again higher in group B (5/16 vs. 1/6)  and the need for tertiary intervention was higher in patients who underwent DJS implantation as a secondary intervention than those  who underwent PCN (5/11 vs. 1/11, P = 0.0012). The time to tertiary intervention was longer in patients with PCN than in those with  DJS (P = 0.0048). Conclusion:  PCN may be preferred to DJS in symptomatic pregnancy hydronephrosis because it requires fewer re-interventions after  longer times.
