| Summary: | Despite the modern advancement in endourology, percutaneous nephrostomy play an important role in many urologic conditions, which of the most important is the relief of upper urinary tract in patients with malignancies that interests the ureter or the uretero-vesical junction.
The aim of the study is to compare the complications of polyurethane and silicone catheters used for percutaneous nephrostomy in patients with unilateral or bilateral uretero-hydronephrosis secondary to locally advanced abdomino-pelvin malignancies.
We have retrospective analyzed 164 patients (p), admitted between January 2013 and December 2016 in Urology Department Sibiu, who benefit from unilateral or bilateral percutaneous nephrostomy for secondary uretero-hydronephrosis with acute renal failure. |
