title: [Percutaneous nephropyelostomy in combination with sonography and x-ray technology (author's transl)].
abstract: Sonography guarantees in a simple manner visualisation of the kidneys and of the renal tract independent of functioning. Besides enabling an exact localisation, sonography yields accurate data on the spatial depth. Hence, it must be considered the method of choice for antegrade pyelography and percutaneous nephropyelostomy, especially if the kidney is inactive. The requisite puncture is performed according to a modified Seldinger technique. The article reports on technical details, indication and results based on a study of 20 patients.
