Percutaneous Nephrostomy in Obstructive Uropathy

1983

Since the original description by Goodwin in 1955, percutaneous nephrostomy (PNS) has assumed an important role in the management of obstructive uropathy. It was initially devised as an alternative to operative nephrostomy, but has now completely replaced the latter, for the following good reasons: 1. It can be done under local anesthesia. 2. It provides effective urinary drainage. 3. It carries an acceptable risk, with low morbidity and practically no mortality.

Percutaneous Nephropyelostomy and Endo-Urological Manipulations

1982

After a long period of neglect (Goodwin et al. 1955), percutaneous nephropyelostomy (PNS) has gained general acceptance and replaced operative nephrostomy. In addition, the percutaneous approach has led to a number of new diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. The objective of this review is not to give a complete and detailed survey of PNS but rather to report on our technique and results with fine needle nephrostomy and various endo-urological manipulations.

Transrenal Ureteral Occlusion with a Detachable Balloon

1982

Transrenal ureteral occlusion using a detachable balloon was successfully employed to stop urinary flow in seven patients. The balloon was filled with low-viscosity silicone rubber and released in the distal ureter. Percutaneous nephrostomy provided external drainage. Indications were painful dysuria and large urinary fistulas in advanced pelvic malignancy. The method is preferable to ureteral embolization with tissue adhesive.

Transrenal ureteral occlusion using a detachable balloon

1984

Percutaneous transrenal ureteral occlusion using a detachable balloon filled with silicone was performed in 20 patients. The main indications were palliation of large urinary fistulas and as a treatment of last resort for severe dysuria in patients with advanced pelvic malignancies. In 6 patients the contralateral kidney was rendered nonfunctional to obviate the need for bilateral nephrostomy. Due to frequent obstruction of the tube, ureteral blockage in 3 became insufficient. Two dislocated balloons were extracted percutaneously and replaced. In order to achieve effective interruption of urinary flow down the ureter, well-functioning external nephrostomy drainage is necessary.
