    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Nephrology

    Background:

    • Pyonephrosis, a severe kidney infection, presents complex treatment challenges.
    • Timely and appropriate intervention is crucial for patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe treatment modalities for pyonephrosis.
    • To analyze outcomes of different surgical approaches.
    • To discuss indications for specific interventions.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 63 pyonephrosis cases.
    • Analysis of surgical procedures: nephrectomy, drainage (nephrostomy), and stone removal.
    • Evaluation of kidney function post-treatment.

    Main Results:

    • Nephrectomy was the primary procedure in 39 patients (62%).
    • Drainage procedures were performed in remaining cases, with 10 involving stone removal.
    • Conservative surgery resulted in a useful functioning kidney in 13 cases (21%).

    Conclusions:

    • Treatment strategies for pyonephrosis vary based on clinical presentation.
    • Nephrectomy remains a common approach, but conservative measures can preserve renal function.
    • Careful consideration of indications guides the choice between nephrectomy and conservative management.
