    Percutaneous nephrostomy is a safe and effective method for urinary diversion in patients with urinary obstruction. This minimally invasive procedure offers an alternative to traditional operative nephrostomy for various urologic conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Nephrology
    • Surgical Procedures

    Background:

    • Urinary diversion is crucial for managing conditions causing supravesical obstruction.
    • Traditional operative nephrostomy can be invasive and associated with significant morbidity.
    • Percutaneous nephrostomy offers a less invasive approach to urinary drainage.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of percutaneous nephrostomy for supravesical urinary diversion.
    • To compare percutaneous nephrostomy with operative nephrostomy in managing urinary obstruction.
    • To explore the utility of percutaneous nephrostomy in diverse urologic conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective analysis of 115 patients (132 kidneys) undergoing percutaneous nephrostomy over a 6-year period.

  • Focus on supravesical urinary diversion as the primary indication.
  • Assessment of procedural safety, effectiveness, and complications.

    • Main Results:

    • Percutaneous nephrostomy was successfully employed for supravesical urinary diversion in 115 patients.
    • The procedure demonstrated a favorable safety profile and high effectiveness.
    • It served as a viable alternative to operative nephrostomy for urinary obstruction.

    Conclusions:

    • Percutaneous nephrostomy is a safe and effective technique for supravesical urinary diversion.
    • It represents a valuable alternative to operative nephrostomy, particularly in obstructed urinary systems.
    • The procedure's applicability extends to various other urologic indications.
