Abstract:
Between February 1984 and 1986, 285 patients underwent percutaneous nephrostomy placement followed by track dilation and calculi removal. Although percutaneous colonic perforation is rare, we report a case consequent to this procedure. The patient had a good outcome after surgical management of the damaged colon. This report considers the anatomic aspects for percutaneous nephrostomy placement as well as the auxiliary methods used in diagnosis of lesions of the colon.
