Retrospective Analysis of the Role of Antibiotic Prophylaxis in the Placement and Replacement of Percutaneous Nephrostomy Catheters in Patients with Malignant Ureteral Obstruction.

Journal of Palliative Medicine, 2019
Background: Antibiotic prophylaxis is usually adopted to prevent urinary tract infection (UTI) after nephrostomy catheter placement and replacement. This prophylaxis has been little studied in cancer patients, and its efficacy is uncertain. Objective: To

Percutaneous nephrostomy in pregnancy

Archives of Disease in Childhood - Fetal and Neonatal Edition, 2012
Introduction 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, 1990
A 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, 1983
AbstractA 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, 1981
Percutaneous 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, 1986
Percutaneous 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 ...

A Randomized Controlled Comparison of Nephrostomy Drainage vs Ureteral Stent Following Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy Using the Wisconsin StoneQOL.

Journal of endourology, 2016
OBJECTIVE We compared postoperative outcomes and quality of life (QoL) between patients who received a nephrostomy tube vs a ureteral stent following percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in a prospective, double-blind, randomized manner.

Percutaneous Nephrostomy in Supine Position

Urology, 2007
Percutaneous 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.
