title: [Percutaneous nephrostomy in emergencies. Report of 42 cases].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Through this work we are going to demonstrate the interest and the contribution of the percutaneous nephrostomy in obstructive anuria and in pyonephrosis.
  
  
  METHODS
  It is a retrospective study concerning 42 cases. The average age of the patients is 50 years (19-80 years). The sex-ratio is 26 men for 16 women. The nephrostomy was realized in first intention or after failure of ascent stent on 33 patients for an obstructive anuria and nine patients for a pyonephrosis.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Improvement of the renal function was noted in 100% of obstructive with anuria and apyrexy in every case of pyonephrosis. No major complication arose during the realization of the nephrostomy. The long-term prognostic depends on the etiology.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The percutaneous nephrostomy constitutes a saving, effective and temporary solution in the strategy of the coverage of obstructive anuria and pyonephrosis.
