[Percutaneous antegrade pyelography with a fine needle].
In 15 patients the percutaneous antegrade pyelography with thin needle was performed for the clarification of a mute kidney and a urinary stasis kidney. The two groups of diseases could not be clarified by means of the methods of the conventional urography. The retrograde pyelography was intentionally given up. By means of the percutaneous antegrade pyelography we could clarify a mute kidney in 8 cases and in 4 cases a urinary stasis kidney. In 3 cases with mute kidney we did not succeed in the demonstration of the renal calyces. No complications appeared. In strong indication the percutaneous antegrade pyelography is an evident diagnostic measure by great security, little stress for the patient and little cost. Despite modern investigation methods including sonography and computer tomography is referred to the fields of application of the percutaneous antegrade pyelography.
