Percutaneous Nephrostomy

Percutaneous Nephrostomy at Shergill Hospital

At Shergill Hospital, Morinda, we offer Percutaneous Nephrostomy (PCN), a minimally invasive procedure for patients with blocked or obstructed kidneys. Our expert urologists and interventional radiologists ensure safe and effective treatment for kidney drainage, helping patients regain their kidney function and overall well-being.

What is Percutaneous Nephrostomy?

Percutaneous Nephrostomy is a procedure to drain urine from the kidney when the normal flow is blocked. A thin tube (catheter) is inserted through the skin into the kidney to allow urine to bypass the obstruction and drain into an external collection bag.

Why is Percutaneous Nephrostomy Needed?

This procedure is performed for conditions that cause urinary obstruction, including:
✔ Kidney Stones – Large stones blocking urine flow
✔ Ureteral Strictures – Narrowing of the ureters
✔ Tumors or Cancer – Obstruction due to kidney, bladder, or pelvic tumors
✔ Infections & Abscesses – Severe infections causing kidney swelling
✔ Urinary Fistulas – Abnormal connections between urinary organs

How is the Procedure Performed?

🔹 Local anesthesia is administered for patient comfort
🔹 Ultrasound or CT guidance helps accurately place the catheter
🔹 A small incision is made to insert the nephrostomy tube into the kidney
🔹 Urine drains externally into a collection bag to relieve pressure
🔹 Follow-up care ensures proper healing and tube management
