    A new technique allows temporary percutaneous nephrostomy to become a prolonged diversion using Foley catheters. This method offers a safe, long-term solution for obstructive nephropathy when repair is not feasible.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Nephrology

    Background:

    • Obstructive nephropathy requires effective urinary diversion.
    • Temporary percutaneous nephrostomy is often insufficient for long-term management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a technique for converting temporary percutaneous nephrostomy to prolonged diversion.
    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of this conversion method.

    Main Methods:

    • A technique for converting standard temporary percutaneous nephrostomy to prolonged or permanent diversion using Foley catheters (up to 16F) was developed.
    • The method was applied in a series of adult patients.

    Main Results:

    • The technique was successfully used for drainage periods up to 22 months.
    • No serious complications were observed in the 4 cases reported.

    Conclusions:

    • This technique provides a viable option for prolonged nephrostomy diversion.
    • It is particularly beneficial for managing obstructive nephropathy in adults where primary lesion repair is challenging.
