    Percutaneous nephrostomy is a procedure with a 9% placement failure rate and a 6% major complication rate. Strict indications and proper technique are crucial for successful outcomes in nephrostomy procedures.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Interventional Radiology

    Background:

    • Percutaneous nephrostomy is a common procedure for urinary tract drainage.
    • Early studies are essential for understanding the risks and benefits of new interventional techniques.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To retrospectively analyze the outcomes of percutaneous nephrostomies.
    • To identify complication rates and factors influencing success.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 128 percutaneous nephrostomies in 81 patients.
    • Data collection on placement success, complications, and catheter-related issues.

    Main Results:

    • 9% placement failure rate.
    • 7% minor complications and 6% major complications.

  • 30% catheter complication rate, primarily dislodgement.
  • Two procedure-related deaths.

    • Conclusions:

    • Percutaneous nephrostomy has associated risks including placement failure and complications.
    • Strict adherence to indications and meticulous technique are vital for patient safety and procedural success.
