Self-retaining loop nephrostomy

R P Finney, J R Sharpe

    The Journal of Urology
    |May 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    A novel self-retaining loop nephrostomy tube features an inflatable balloon to prevent dislodgement. A unique plug allows for controlled kidney irrigation or urine drainage, enhancing treatment flexibility.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Medical Devices

    Background:

    • Nephrostomy tubes are essential for urinary drainage but are prone to accidental dislodgement.
    • Current nephrostomy designs may lack features for targeted renal pelvis management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel self-retaining loop nephrostomy tube with enhanced retention and functional capabilities.
    • To introduce a design that facilitates controlled irrigation and drainage for kidney stone treatment.

    Main Methods:

    • Description of a self-retaining loop nephrostomy tube incorporating an inflatable balloon.
    • Inclusion of a repositionable plug mechanism within the nephrostomy tube.

    Main Results:

    • The inflatable balloon secures the tube within the renal pelvis, preventing migration.

  • The plug allows for adjustable flow, enabling maximal irrigation with stone solvents or facilitating urine outflow.

    • Conclusions:

    • The described self-retaining loop nephrostomy offers improved stability and functional versatility.
    • This device has the potential to optimize kidney stone management and post-operative care.
