    Summary

    Percutaneous nephrostomy offers direct upper ureter access for stone removal and procedures like endopyelotomy. This tract also enables instrument insertion for stone retrieval and ureteral treatments.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Surgical Procedures

    Background:

    • The upper ureter presents challenges for direct surgical access.
    • Minimally invasive techniques are crucial for urological interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the utility of the percutaneous nephrostomy tract in upper ureteral procedures.
    • To highlight the versatility of this access route for stone removal and other interventions.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing the percutaneous nephrostomy tract for direct visualization with a nephroscope.
    • Employing the tract for antegrade insertion of ureteral stents and catheters.

    Main Results:

    • Successful stone removal from the upper ureter.
    • Facilitation of operative procedures including endopyelotomy.
    • Enabling stone basketing and controlled ureteral meatotomy through attached instruments.
    • Allowing retrograde stent insertion via the tract.

    Conclusions:

    • The percutaneous nephrostomy tract is a valuable approach for upper ureteral stone management.
    • This method provides a versatile platform for various urological interventions and instrument delivery.
