Abstract
Introduction: In advanced or metastatic abdominopelvic malignancy, ureteric obstruction is a known complication. (PCN) is a diversion procedure for decompression in order to improve renal function. It is debatable whether PCN is an effective management to relieve ureteric obstruction in a stage IV abdominoperineal disease. The aim of the study is to determine the outcome of PCN tube insertion in a palliative care setting.
