26
Q

Percutaneous Nephrostomy

A

The insertion of a catheter through the skin and into the renal pelvis under the guidance of fluorography and/or ultrasound. to drain kidney externally

27
Q

Nephrostomy indications

A
  • Relief of urinary obstruction
  • Access- therapeutic treatment
  • Urinary diversion
  • to drain kidney externally, if there is injury to the ureter
28
Q

Nephrostomy contraindications

A
  • coagulation INR >1.4
  • Contraindications to contrast
  • Contraindication to sedation
  • Patient must be cooperative
29
Q

Nephrostomy complications

A
  • pain
  • tube displacement
  • Urine leak into abdomen
  • pneumothorax
  • infection/sepsis
  • bleeding
  • injury to other abdominal organs and structure
30
Q

Nephrostomy patient presentation

A
  • Hydronephrosis
  • pain in flank
  • nausea
  • vomiting
  • tiredness
  • pain on urination
  • UTI
  • Sepsis/fever
31
Q

Nephrostomy pre-imaging

A
  • Ultrasound

- CT (“stone prone” - non contrast, ?leak = contrast)

32
Q

Nephrostomy patient preparation

A
  • recent blood tests including INR
  • overnight monitoring
  • Nil by mouth for previous 6 hrs
  • Appropriate antibiotics
  • gown
  • patent cannula in either arm
  • completed consent form
33
Q

nephrostomy procedure 1

A
  • patient is positioned prone oblique, with affected side raised
  • patient is monitored
  • area is cleaned and prepped
  • local anaesthetic…
  • needle is positioned and probe is parallel, to image needle fully
  • WHO check
34
Q

Nephrostomy procedure 1- ultrasound of kidney

A
  • is the renal pelvis dilated enough?
  • Assess and mark access point
  • position of ribs/ major vessels
  • choose an avascular plane into minor calyx
35
Q

Ureteric Stenting

A

The placing of a catheter between the kidney and the bladder, to affect the internal drainage of the urinary system.
- can be done retrograde or antegrade

36
Q

The radio-opaque marker at the proximal end of the Ureteric stent aids..?

A

aids with positioning

37
Q

Nephrostomy- fluoroscopy

A
  • Access needle is moved into position, with guidance from fluoroscopy/nephrostogram - contrast is used
  • A guidewire is inserted and the needed is taken out
  • a dilator is put on
  • A catheter is inserted over the guidewire
  • once access hole is dilated, the dilator is taken off
  • the nephrostomy catheter is put on and manipulated into position
  • nephrostogram is checked and pigtail catheter is locked in place
  • the site is cleaned and dried
  • drainage bag is attached
38
Q

Ureteric stenting procedure

A
  • nephrostogram is taken
  • contrast is injected, to see the level of the stricture/blockage
  • wire and catheter are manipulated into PUJ
  • then down the ureter and into the bladder
  • stent is then deployed
  • image is checked
39
Q

Retrograde ureteric stenting performed under….

A

a cystoscopy

43
Q

Retrograde ureteric stenting - stent deploy

urologist deploys stent under fluoro control

44
Q

Q

P.C.N.L - Percutaneous nephrolithotomy

A

this is where the lithotripter is passed through a small incision into the kidney

46
Q

lithotripter

A

a noninvasive device that breaks up kidney stones - by passing electromagnetic shock waves.

47
Q

P.C.N.L professionals involved

A

Radiologist, radiographer and IR Nurses.
Urologists and their team
Anaesthetics team

48
Q

P.C.N.L

A
  • Urologists cannulate the kidney via cystoscopy and contrast is injected
  • The radiologist performs the nephrostomy under U/S guidance
  • Dilators are passed over the wire
  • An access cannula is positioned over the wire
  • The stone is then broken up using a laser fibre, a lithoclast (small pneumatic drill) or an ultrasonic suction probe
  • The fragments are then removed and the nephrostomy tube is placed and left for about 3 days
