GUERRERO-IXTLAHUAC, Jorge et al. Urinary drainage, the interventional radiologist’s perspective. Indications and literature review. Rev. mex. urol. [online]. 2022, vol.82, n.2, e05.  Epub Feb 20, 2023. ISSN 2007-4085.  https://doi.org/10.48193/revistamexicanadeurologa.v82i2.846.

The main indications for urinary tract drainage are pyonephrosis, preservation of renal function in case of distal obstruction and urine diversion in cases of distal urinary fistula or leak. These urinary tract drains include nephrostomies, placement of a nephroureteral catheter or a double-J stent. In this article we review urinary drainage and the selection of the best device according to the type of solution that is intended to be given to a certain clinical setting.

Keywords : urinary drainage; percutaneous route; nephrostomy; double-J stent; nephroureteral stent.
