[Percutaneous U-loop nephrostomy: our experience].
Thirteen U-loop nephrostomy procedures performed percutaneously in 9 patients are described. Thirty-three percent of these patients had a bilateral, one-stage procedure. This procedure can be performed under local anesthesia and, on average, requires 45 minutes. It is simple, yet it provides many other advantages; i.e., enhanced urinary drainage, easy to change and excellent patient tolerance. For all the foregoing reasons, we consider this procedure to be a valid alternative to open surgery.
