[Diagnostic and therapeutic value of puncture nephrostomy. Review of 45 cases].
The present study reports our experience in 45 patients submitted to percutaneous nephrostomy. We describe the indications of this procedure and highlight its efficacy in making etiologic diagnosis and recovering renal function. Similarly, we underscore its efficacy in the treatment of sepsis, anuria, and dissolution of uric acid calculi. The low incidence rate of complications and no mortality from this procedure, and its diagnostic and therapeutic efficacy make it a common procedure in day-to-day urological practice.
