ABSTRACT
Management of urologic patients is being gradually but dramatically altered with new advances in technical innovation and refinements of interventional uroradiology. The broadening of indications for percutaneous nephrostomy became possible only after it was learned that it is a safe and effective means of establishing access to the renal collecting system. Percutaneous stone extraction (Nephrolithotomy) and Endopyelotomy are now well established procedures. These techniques have clear advantages over the surgical treatment for the same conditions and will increase the quality of patient care and reduce health care cost.
