Percutaneous Puncture Nephrostomy

1962
In 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 and Ureteral Injury

Journal of Urology, 1981
The courses of 6 patients with various forms or ureteral injury and disruption herein illustrate the value and worth of percutaneous nephrostomy drainage and study. The nature and degree of injury are ascertained, and sepsis and obstruction are managed without formal anesthesia or surgical intervention, leading to ultimate repair in a planned and ...

Percutaneous nephrostomy in gynecologic oncology

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1984
Percutaneous 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 ...

Ultrasonically Guided Percutaneous Nephrostomy

Scandinavian Journal of Urology and Nephrology, 1990
Ultrasonically guided percutaneous nephrostomy was planned in 98 patients with a total of 128 nephrostomies. The success rate was over 90%. The catheters were maintained from a 1/2 day to 150 days with a median duration of 13 days. 26% of the patients had the catheter replaced, mainly because of displacement.

Percutaneous nephrostomy is a minimally invasive method for the external drainage of the upper urinary tracts, performed under ultrasonographic or fluoroscopic guidance. The purpose of the method is, first, to decrease the pressure and distension of the pyelocaliceal system, together with gaining an antegrade access to the upper urinary tract to ...

Do's and don't's of percutaneous nephrostomy

Academic Radiology, 1999
Percutaneous nephrostomy procedures generally are safe. The associated mortality rate is approximately 0.04%, and the incidence of important complications is 5% (2-4). To minimize complications, certain precautions always should be followed. First, radiologists should perform a preprocedural evaluation of the patient, with correction of marked ...

Percutaneous nephrostomy in infants and children

American Journal of Roentgenology, 1983
Percutaneous nephrostomy drainage was established in 28 children, predominantly for ureteric obstruction. Infection was the most frequent presenting feature (nine patients) followed by renal failure (six) and a combination of the two (four). A sonographically guided antegrade examination was first performed with a 22-gauge needle.
