Nephrostomy

NEPHROSTOMY-don't know if it is a temporary relief prior to having a kidney removed, haven't had to have one done.

Nephrostomy means having a tube placed into the kidney to allow it to drain externally. When a ureter is blocked by a stone or tumor, the kidney is unable to drain. Pressure builds and the kidney can be damaged or destroyed.

The nephrostomy can relieve the pressure and save the kidney. The external tube can be removed once the condition is relieved, for example, if the stone passes.

nephrostomy-to have a temporary or permanent tube or drainage placed in a kidney, or to create an opening within the kidney for the relief of a condition or disease.
