    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Minimally Invasive Surgery

    Background:

    • Nephrostomy tubes and indwelling splints can fracture or become difficult to retrieve.
    • Retrieving retained ureteral or nephrostomy catheters poses a clinical challenge.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous transrenal catheter retrieval for broken devices.
    • To assess the utility of specific instruments in complex catheter retrieval.

    Main Methods:

    • Percutaneous transrenal access was utilized for catheter retrieval in 7 patients.
    • Instruments employed included a deflecting guidewire, grasping forceps, and Dormia stone basket.

    Main Results:

    • Successful retrieval was achieved in 6 out of 7 patients (85.7%).
    • Three broken nephrostomy tubes and three indwelling splints were extracted.
    • No complications were reported during the procedures.

    Conclusions:

    • Percutaneous transrenal catheter retrieval is a viable and safe option for managing broken nephrostomy tubes and indwelling splints.
    • This approach offers a minimally invasive solution for challenging catheter retrieval scenarios.
