Abstract

The indications for open nephrostomy have been discussed in the previous section. While there will always be a need for nephrostomy tubes following open renal surgical procedures, there is no doubt that percutaneous placement has superseded “open” placement of such tubes in almost every other situation. The percutaneous placement of nephrostomy tubes does, however, require special radiological expertise and equipment which is not available in every centre. In this chapter I shall describe the technique of placement, the equipment available and the possibilities that such access provides.
