WHAT IS PERCUTANEOUS NEPHROSTOMY?
Percutaneous Nephrostomy is a practice in Nephrology,
wherein a catheter or a small flexible rubber tube in inserted through the skin
into the kidney in order to drain urine while using imaging as supervision.
This is a procedure used to ease the movement of urine throughout the human
body by the decompression of any ureteral obstruction in the renal collection
system. The practice of PCN or Percutaneous Nephrostomy is to eliminate kidney
stones and to help the urinary tract function normally.
The procedure is safe. This is a procedure also used for
tract creation for the provision of inserting devices, the extraction or
elimination of stones or for taking tissues for microscopic examination,
dilatation of ureteric narrowing, and ureteral stenting. PCN is performed by
urologists and expert radiologists in interventional radiology. The usage of
PCN catheters has seen a rise in the use of diagnostic and therapeutic
procedures. At Manish Medi Innovations, each of our products is tested to the
highest standard and we also adhere to the compliances of the healthcare
industry. The PCN catheters and all
our products are tested and approved by experts before delivering for medical
use.
WHAT
HAPPENS BEFORE THE PROCEDURE?
A series of tests are conducted namely; blood and urine
tests, X-Rays of your kidneys, ureters, and bladder, CT Scans and MRI scans to
get a clear understanding of your organs. Cystoscopy and renal nuclear scan to
assess the complete urinary system for better understanding.
WHAT
HAPPENS DURING THE PROCEDURE?
PCN is performed under general anesthesia and is done
under ultrasonography or special X-Ray guidance. Initially, the doctor makes a
small incision on the back of the patient, and an IP needle is passed through the
skin into the kidney. Special instruments pass-through this needle next. After
this, a tube is placed in the kidney and another tube is placed in the ureter
to drain urine from the kidney. The surgical spot is dressed and you will be
under medical surveillance for 24 hours.
WHAT
HAPPENS AFTER THE PROCEDURE?
You will be hospitalized for the next one or two days for in case of any complications or any kind of emergency.

- Treatment of no dilated obstructive uropathy,
- Treatment of complications related to renal transplants,
- Access to interventions such as direct infusion when dissolving stones, chemotherapy and antibiotic or antifungal therapy,
- Decompression of nephric or perinephric fluid collections (e.g. urinomas, abscesses).
The PCN catheter procedure is an interventional procedure
