Non-Vascular Interventional Radiology of the Abdomen

Abstract

Percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) was first described in 1955 as a means to decompress a kidney obstructed. Since then refinements in technique and advances in equipment and image-guidance have established this procedure as an essential procedure for the interventional radiologist. While relief of hydronephrosis remains the leading indication for PCN today, access to the renal collection system serves other roles beyond the relief of hydronephrosis. This chapter reviews the indications, technique of PCN and nephroureteral stent placement; PCN is a mainstay of nonvascular interventions. Tract creation for stone extraction or other endoscopic manipulation is the same as that of PCN.
