    • Urology

    Background:

    • Percutaneous nephrostomy is a key radiologic intervention.
    • It provides urinary diversion for obstructed upper urinary tracts.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the value of percutaneous nephrostomy.
    • To discuss its classic and enhanced indications.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of percutaneous nephrostomy procedures.
    • Analysis of technological advancements in catheters and guide wires.

    Main Results:

    • Technological improvements have expanded indications for percutaneous nephrostomy.
