Ultrasonography has revolutionized percutaneous renal puncture, making it faster, safer, and simpler. This imaging technique allows for routine, outpatient kidney and upper urinary tract procedures with reduced risk.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Urology
  • Interventional Radiology

Background:

  • Percutaneous renal puncture was historically complex and risky.
  • The advent of ultrasonography has significantly improved these procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the benefits of ultrasonography in guiding percutaneous renal punctures.
  • To demonstrate the transformation of complex procedures into routine maneuvers.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing ultrasonography for real-time guidance during diagnostic and therapeutic percutaneous renal punctures.
  • Performing kidney and upper urinary tract punctures under ultrasound visualization.

Main Results:

  • Ultrasonography enables rapid, accurate, and safe percutaneous renal punctures.

  • Procedures previously considered risky are now routine.
  • Anesthesia is often not required for ultrasound-guided punctures.

    • Conclusions:

    • Ultrasonography is an indispensable tool for percutaneous renal puncture.
    • It has simplified and improved the safety and efficiency of renal and upper urinary tract interventions.
    • Many renal puncture procedures can now be performed safely in an outpatient setting.
