    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Urology
    • Medical Device Technology
    • Neonatal Care

    Background:

    • Urinary tract anomalies requiring drainage are present in neonates and young infants.
    • Existing nephrostomy catheter systems may pose challenges for use in the smallest patients.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel 5-French (F) nephrostomy catheter system designed for perinates and young infants.
    • To evaluate the initial safety and efficacy of this new system in a neonatal population.

    Main Methods:

    • A 5-F nephrostomy catheter system was developed.
    • The system was utilized in a cohort of eight neonates requiring urinary drainage.

    Main Results:

    • The 5-F nephrostomy catheter system was successfully implemented in all eight neonates.
    • No instances of premature catheter removal, damage, or occlusion were reported during the study period.

    Conclusions:

    • The described 5-F nephrostomy catheter system is a viable and safe option for managing urinary drainage in neonates.
    • This system shows promise for improved outcomes in infant urological interventions.
