title: Use of nephrostomy drape for nonendoscopic procedures.
abstract: The use of a nephrostomy drape for perineal prostatectomy and laparoscopic renal/ureteral surgery is illustrated. Draping is simplified, fixation sites for cords are present, and a large pocket for instruments and drainage is provided. The nephrostomy drape is recommended for use during operations performed on nonhorizontal surfaces, or when several instruments attached by cords are used.
