[Percutaneous nephrostomy: use of a simple inexpensive material in emergencies in precarious conditions].
We describe a cheap and simply technique of percutaneous nephrostomy which can be used anywhere. It consists, under local anesthesia, of insertion of a drain into renal cavity using only a needle, a sheat and dilatator. With this technique, we placed 81 PCN with 97% of success, without complication.
