    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Nephrology
    • Interventional Radiology

    Background:

    • Urinary tract obstruction necessitates effective management strategies.
    • Temporary diversion of the upper urinary tract is crucial in specific clinical scenarios.
    • Percutaneous nephrostomy has emerged as a key interventional technique.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and utility of percutaneous nephrostomy for temporary urinary diversion.
    • To describe two distinct percutaneous nephrostomy techniques, including a novel approach.
    • To analyze indications, results, and complications associated with the procedure.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 33 patients (42 kidneys) undergoing percutaneous nephrostomy over six years.
    • Description of two percutaneous nephrostomy techniques, one recently developed.
    • Analysis of procedural indications, outcomes, and associated complications.

    Main Results:

    • Percutaneous nephrostomy was utilized for temporary upper urinary tract diversion in 33 patients.
    • The procedure demonstrated a favorable safety profile.
    • The technique proved highly useful in managing diverse causes of urinary tract obstruction.

    Conclusions:

    • Percutaneous nephrostomy is a safe and highly useful procedure for selected patients.
    • It effectively manages unilateral or bilateral urinary tract obstruction.
    • The described techniques provide valuable options for temporary urinary diversion.
