Abstract

A simple method for percutaneous insertion of nephrostomy tubes is described. In our series of 47 patients there have been no failed attempts at nephrostomy placement, and only one complication, transient septicemia, was noted. Catheter care is described, and use of the nephrostomy tract for various urologic problems is discussed.
