title: [Ultrasonically guided access to the kidney].
abstract: Ultrasonography is an ideal procedure to guide and control the diagnostic and therapeutical percutaneous renal puncture. Some procedures considered in pre-echographic period, long, complicated and not free from risks and complications, were transformed in routine manoeuvres by the advent of ultrasound. Nowadays, thanks to the ultrasound guide, is possible to perform a rapid, accurate, safe and without anesthesia puncture of the kidney and of the upper urinary tract. Several procedures contemplating the renal puncture, can be performed in out-patients.
