Nephropyelostomy

Nephrostomy is a special medical device for external drainage of the kidney. The device includes a tube that drains urine from the kidney and then drains it through the urethra (urethra) into the bladder. Renal puncture can reduce pain and inflammation caused by urine retention in the kidney.

Nephros and metanephron are two terms in anatomy that designate different organs - the kidney and its glomerular apparatus. The term “nephros” is also known from the field of philosophy: according to the ancient Greek physician Galen, this is the name of the very process of urine formation in the human body. Perhaps that is why the term “nephrography” comes from medical anatomy, meaning radiography of the kidney and renal pelvis. Nephrostomy or percutaneous nephrostomy is a surgical intervention aimed at draining the renal parenchyma (the functional part of the kidney where urine is excreted), but in the vast majority of cases, the operation is performed to drain the collecting system. The left and right kidneys are located retroperitoneally in the abdominal cavity. * This is an organ-preserving procedure. In some cases, surgeons, taking into account the severity of the patient’s condition, install nephrostomy tubes to the patient during a surgical treatment session; in other patients, a nephrostomy tube is placed at a later stage after surgery. However, if we are talking about life-saving operations, * for example, renal thromboembolism or tumor removal, then patients can receive a nephrostotic tube during the operation itself if their condition is satisfactory. Percutaneous nephrostomy in oncological practice is most often performed during radical nephrectomy of the kidney. Nephrostomy ensures the outflow of urine from the kidney to the bladder, bypassing nephrine papules, helps remove toxic substances from the body, stops the infectious process and prevents chronic inflammation of the urethra, and prevents the serious consequences of a long-term stagnation of the kidney.

Nephrostopia is a surgical procedure in which a special tube is inserted into the bladder or renal system to drain urine from the kidneys. A nephrostomy may be performed for a variety of reasons, including kidney stones or tumors, infection, or other conditions that require a permanent drainage of urine. Although this surgery is relatively safe, it can lead to complications such as infection or damage to the bladder or urinary tract. When performing a nephrostomy, it is very important to follow the procedures indicated by your doctor. These procedures include monitoring kidney and bladder function, regularly checking for infection, and checking the condition of the tube. It is also important to follow the instructions for caring for your nephrostomy tube, which may include using special drops or tablets to remove accumulated urine.
