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, 1999Percutaneous 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 with Immediate Dilation
Journal of Urology, 1981Percutaneous nephrostomy may serve as an alternative to an open operation for urinary diversion. Difficulties with poor drainage and premature catheter dislodgement have prompted the development of a technique for dilation of the needle tract and placement of a large, self-retaining catheter at the time of the initial puncture.

Percutaneous nephrostomy in infants and children
American Journal of Roentgenology, 1983Percutaneous 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.

Percutaneous nephrostomy in infants and children
Academic Radiology, 2000The purpose of this study was to review the authors' experience with percutaneous nephrostomy during an 11-year period, paying special attention to indications and outcomes.The records of 71 percutaneous nephrostomy procedures performed on 59 children at the authors' institution from January 1987 through December 1997 were retrospectively reviewed.

Introducer Needle for Percutaneous Nephrostomy
Urologic Clinics of North America, 1990A new introducer needle that prevents tracking facilitates rapid and predictable entry into the chosen posterior calix with minimal use of fluoroscopy for lithotripsy or renal drainage. This device should make it possible for urologists and radiologists to acquire rapidly the skill to access the kidney in virtually all patients.

Percutaneous U-Loop Nephrostomy
Journal of Urology, 1979Single-tube nephrostomy drainage can be converted to U-loop drainage using percutaneous methods. Because only local anesthesia is required the technique can be used for patients who are poor operative risks.
