Percutaneous pigtail nephrostomy

Urology, 1979
Practicing urologists have become more familiar with the use of angiographic equipment and techniques and proficient in their application to percutaneous nephrostomy. The advantage of pigtail catheters for that purpose is noted. Modification of available vascular equipment applicable to percutaneous nephrostomy is discussed, and a new standardized kit ...

Retrograde Percutaneous Nephrostomy

Urologic Clinics of North America, 1988
Retrograde percutaneous nephrostomy puncture to aid in stone removal is a safe and acceptable alternative to antegrade techniques. For urologists with expertise in endoscopic instrumentation and technique, it is easy to learn and does not require the presence of a skilled interventional radiologist.

Percutaneous nephrostomy and maintenance of nephrostomy drainage

Urology, 1984
A 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.

Percutaneous nephrostomy in pyonephrosis

Urologic Radiology, 1989
A series of 76 pyonephrotic kidneys in 73 patients were drained by percutaneous nephrostomy (PN) tube and examined to evaluate the contribution of this technique to the treatment of pyonephrosis. In 71 patients, clinical symptoms disappeared 24-48 h after the procedure. Two patients died from sepsis subsequent to anuria and underlying malignancy.

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

Outpatient percutaneous nephrostomy.

Radiology, 1996
To 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. Exclusion criteria included hypertension; untreated

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.
