Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) tube placement is often challenging.
  • Difficulties arise in nondilated renal systems and in morbidly obese patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the routine use of ureteroscopy-guided percutaneous renal access.
  • To evaluate its efficacy in simplifying PCN placement.

Main Methods:

  • Ureteroscopy was used to guide percutaneous renal access.
  • The technique was applied routinely across diverse patient populations.

Main Results:

  • Ureteroscopy-guided access facilitated rapid and accurate nephrostomy tract creation.
  • The method proved effective regardless of patient body habitus or renal system dilation status.

Conclusions:

  • Ureteroscopy-guided percutaneous renal access is a reliable technique.
  • It simplifies PCN placement, offering consistent results in challenging cases.
