Nephrotomy

03/01/2008 - "To prospectively evaluate and study the role, relative safety, and effectiveness of "tubeless" percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and whether it is really less morbid vis-à-vis PCNL with a nephrostomy tube; to compare the postoperative pain, analgesia requirement, hospital stay, return to work time, and other parameters in patients undergoing tubeless PCNL and standard PCNL. "
06/16/2023 - "It also reduced the need for rescue analgesia and postoperative pain scores during nephrostomy tube removal. "
03/01/2020 - "To evaluate the impact of nephrostomy tube type on postoperative pain and blood loss following percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). "
07/01/2013 - "Similarly, nephrostomy-free or 'tubeless' PCNL, using a double-J stent or ureteric catheter as alternative form of drainage, can be used with a favorable outcome in selected patients with the advantage of decreased postoperative pain, analgesia requirement, and hospital stay. "
04/01/2012 - "Additionally, the effect of nephrostomy tube placement on postoperative pain, hospital stay, and the success and complication rates was assessed. "

01/01/2021 - "Successful nephrostomy removal was defined as no symptoms and improved or stable hydronephrosis. "
05/22/2021 - "CTU/MRU after removing nephrostomy tubes indicated improved/stable hydronephrosis in all patients. "
11/01/1991 - "Hydronephrosis in two renal units and one with nephrostomy for one year and one month improved spontaneously. "
03/01/2023 - "Primary stent patency was defined as complete or partial resolution of hydronephrosis as shown by imaging studies or successful removal of a preexisting nephrostomy tube. "
01/01/2021 - "Primary patency was defined as a complete resolution or downgrading of hydronephrosis shown by imaging studies or success in the removal of a preexisting nephrostomy tube; otherwise the procedure was considered a primary failure. "

01/01/1980 - "All extractions of calculi by pyelotomy with or without a small nephrotomy benefited initially impaired kidneys. "
09/01/2020 - "Patients who had nephrostomy insertion for other causes such as ureteric calculi or injury were excluded from the study. "
01/01/1985 - "This study demonstrates the one-stage insertion of human calculi into the canine renal pelvis through a nephrostomy which does not affect the collecting system or cause any significant functional or structural damage to the kidney."
05/01/2022 - "The patient subsequently had a nephrostomy inserted and was planned for optical urethrotomy, rigid cystoscopy, rigid/flexible ureteroscopy, and laser stone fragmentation of left obstructing vesico-ureteric junction calculus."
07/28/2017 - "To assess the advantages and nursing experience of foley catheter for nephrostomy tube after minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mPCNL).
 Methods: From October 2015 to April 2016, the clinical data of 137 patients, who were diagnosed with upper urinary tract calculi and need to perform mPCNL, were collected and randomized into 2 groups: a foley catheter group (research group, n=69) and a normal nephrostomy tube group (control group, n=68). "

05/01/1995 - "Extracorporeal lithotripsy of ureteroliths (stage 2) is beneficial in clinically cured pyelonephritis and is indicated only in functioning nephrostomy. "
02/01/1983 - "The key to good results is the dismembered pyeloplasty with postoperative nephrostomy drainage and applying a stent for the anastomosis, combined with strict control of postoperative pyelonephritis."
09/01/2022 - "In all patients, nephrostomy tube was initially put due to acute pyelonephritis. "
12/01/2020 - "In the control group, the proportion of uncomplicated cases in patients with nephrostomy tube was 40%, the development of pyelonephritis was noted in 60% of cases, and recurrent stones within 36 months were diagnosed in 46.7% of cases. "
11/01/2020 - "A 50-year-old female presented to our department of urology with nephrostomy drain in the right kidney been placed because of an acute obstructive pyelonephritis. "

04/01/2021 - "Nephrostomy drainage relieved pain completely or significantly in all 12 patients without prior ureteral stenting, but in only 4 of 10 with retrograde ureteric stents. "
11/01/2005 - "Patients reported a significant reduction in pain score for nephrostomy insertion (-28.4mm, SD 7.11 mm, p=0.001). "
05/01/2014 - "Pain in the initial post operatie period is relieved by infiltration of local anaesthetic around the nephrostomy tract. "
04/01/2012 - "Additionally, the large-bore nephrostomy tube preferred is certain to cause pain, as stated in the previous studies. "
09/01/2007 - "Recent studies have shown a significant decrease in patient reported pain scores when the nephrostomy tube size is decreased from 22 to 10Fr. "
