Percutaneous nephrostomy and maintenance of nephrostomy drainage
Urology, 1984A simple method for percutaneous insertion of nephrostomy tubes is described. In our series of 47 patients there have been no failed attempts at nephrostomy placement, and only one complication, transient septicemia, was noted. Catheter care is described, and use of the nephrostomy tract for various urologic problems is discussed.

Outpatient percutaneous nephrostomy.
Radiology, 1996To assess the feasibility of performing percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) on an outpatient basis in a select group of patients.In 6 years, 60 PCN procedures were performed in a subgroup of 48 patients (22 men, 26 women) carefully selected from a larger group of 881 nephrostomy procedures in 589 patients.

Percutaneous nephrostomy in pregnancy
Archives of Disease in Childhood - Fetal and Neonatal Edition, 2012Introduction Percutaneous nephrostomy performed for hydronephrosis of pregnancy provides rapid relief of pain by unblocking urinary tract obstruction. We present this case series to create awareness of current diagnostic and therapeutic modalities available for urological problems in pregnancy.

Antibiotic bonded nephrostomy catheters for percutaneous nephrostomies
Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology, 1990A prospective controlled trial of the effectiveness of a cefoxitin-bonded nephrostomy catheter was undertaken to determine the effectiveness of an antibiotic bonded catheter in decreasing the infectious complications of percutaneous nephrostomy. The study concludes that bonding of the antibiotic cefoxitin to percutaneous nephrostomy catheters did not ...

A New Percutaneous Nephrostomy Set
Journal of Urology, 1983AbstractA new percutaneous nephrostomy set is described. The set minimizes the manipulations involved and avoids kinking of the nephrostomy tube at its entry through the fascia or at the kidney surface. It allows insertion of any tubing up to 8F.

Percutaneous nephrostomy — Technique
Urologic radiology, 1981Percutaneous nephrostomy is increasingly used for temporary relief of upper urinary tract obstruction. The technique described involves the use of angiographic catheters and guides, and will provide drainage for several weeks or months. The patient is placed in the prone oblique position after intravenous contrast to opacify the kidneys.

Use and Maintenance of Percutaneous Nephrostomy
Urologia Internationalis, 1986Percutaneous nephrostomy has been used for the diagnosis and treatment of 64 patients. There have been no unsuccessful attempts at nephrostomy placement and no major complications were noted. This procedure can be accomplished readily and safely, reliably and effectively for short- and long-term urinary diversion in various urologic conditions in ...

Percutaneous Nephrostomy in Supine Position
Urology, 2007Percutaneous nephrostomy has traditionally been performed with the patient in the prone position, probably to reduce the risk of injury to adjacent visceral organs, particularly the colon. The prone position, however, is associated with disadvantages such as patient discomfort and circulatory and ventilatory difficulties, particularly in obese patients.

Percutaneous Puncture Nephrostomy
1962In recent years temporary nephrostomy or pyelostomy has increasingly been used to preserve renal function in cases of ureteric obstruction or injury, in which primary ureteric surgery is considered injudicious or impossible. Such is the case if the lower ureter is injured during a hysterectomy or rectal amputation, if suture lines of ileal conduits and

Percutaneous nephrostomy in gynecologic oncology
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1984Percutaneous nephrostomy is a useful method of supravesical diversion when ureteral obstruction occurs at initial diagnosis of gynecologic cancer or recurrence of disease. Although survival is prolonged, the attendant quality of life would indicate that percutaneous nephrostomy should be performed only in those cases in which there is a reasonable ...
