Percutaneous Nephrostomy in Yeshwanthpur

Percutaneous nephrostomy and cholecystostomy are life-saving interventional procedures used to manage obstructive kidney and gallbladder conditions. Percutaneous nephrostomy is performed when the normal urine flow from the kidney to the bladder is blocked due to kidney stones, tumours, or strictures. Using fluoroscopy or ultrasound guidance, a catheter is inserted through the skin into the renal pelvis to divert urine externally, preventing hydronephrosis and renal damage. This procedure is essential in cases of urinary tract infections with obstruction, helping to relieve pressure and preserve kidney function. At the same time, further treatment options, such as stenting or surgery, are planned.

Cholecystostomy is a minimally invasive procedure used to drain an infected or inflamed gallbladder, particularly in patients with acute cholecystitis who are unfit for immediate surgery. Under ultrasound or CT guidance, a catheter is inserted through the abdominal wall into the gallbladder to drain bile and relieve inflammation. This is especially beneficial for critically ill patients who cannot undergo cholecystectomy. Both procedures significantly reduce morbidity, prevent severe infections, and improve patient outcomes by restoring organ function without immediate major surgery. Interventional radiology specialists at Manipal Hospital, Yeshwanthpur, perform these procedures precisely, ensuring the best possible patient care.

Below are the key procedures under this category:

  • Percutaneous Nephrostomy – A catheter-based procedure to bypass urinary obstruction, preventing kidney damage and infection.

  • Cholecystostomy – Emergency gallbladder drainage for critically ill patients with severe inflammation or infection.

  • Fluoroscopy  – Guided Placement – Real-time imaging ensures accurate catheter positioning for adequate drainage.

  • Post-Procedure Management – Regular catheter care and follow-ups to prevent complications and assess recovery progress.
