Abstract:
The results of 242 percutaneous nephropyelostomies in 215 patients were analysed retrospectively. No consideration was given to the experience of the individual operators. There was a total complication rate of 36.4% (mild complications 32.2%, serious complications 34.1%, fatality 0.4%). Rapid reduction in serum creatinine could be demonstrated following drainage in patients in whom renal function had been damaged by obstruction.
