PERCUTANEOUS NEPHROSTOMY
If your urine is being blocked by stones or other obstructions, inserting a tube into your kidney can help to drain it
Urine is produced in the kidneys. It then passes into the bladder through muscular tubes called 'ureters'. Sometimes, clots, cancers or kidney stones can block one or both ureters. This stops urine from leaving the body naturally.
A nephrostomy can help to drain urine from the body using a thin plastic tube called a catheter.
