Core Tip	Ureteral obstruction as a consequence of malignant or benign etiologies is a common urologic entity that is often challenging for clinicians to determine the optimal method of urinary decompression. There is no consensus on the use of stents vs percutaneous nephrostomy in the management of ureteral obstruction as well as a lack of clear superiority of stenting over percutaneous approach in terms of complications and quality of life considerations. Therefore, treatment decisions must be individualized using a multidisciplinary approach involving the patients, their family and members of the treatment team.
