Nonvascular intervention of the urinary tract is a well-established uroradiologic subspecialty, which is more important for avoiding invasive open surgery in the age of rising demand about the value of less invasive treatment. Various kinds of nonvascular intervention are recently performed under image-guidance and are as follows: percutaneous nephrostomy, percutaneous nephrostolithotomy, percutaneous dilatation of the urinary tract, sclerotherapy for renal cysts, percutaneous catheter drainage, percutaneous foreign body retrieval and biopsy. Percutaneous nephrostomy is a basic technique to provide a direct access to urinary tract, which makes it possible to perform other interventional procedures. Although nonvascular intervention may produce some complications, it is generally considered to be less invasive than open surgery and has advantages such as short hospital stay, early return to normal life and therefore economic savings. This review is described to help clinicians easily understand the procedures, indications, techniques, and complications with figures of cases the authors experienced.

The treatment for patients with large impacted proximal ureteral stone remains controversial. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy and ureteroscopic lithotripsy are the most popular treatment options due to their minimal invasive nature. However, percutaneous nephroscopic ureterolithotripsy is still important. Between June 2004 and March 2006, a total of 24 patients under went percutaneous antegrade nephrostomy for the removal of large impacted proximal ureteral stones of size > 15 mm. Combined ultrasonic and pneumatic lithotripters were used for the stone fragmentation. Twenty-three (95.8%) of the 24 patients were stone-free after one session of surgery. The mean operation time was 125.4 +/- 49.5 minutes (range, 45-170 minutes) and the mean postoperative hospital stay was 4.7 +/- 2.0 days (range, 4-12 days). Among the 24 patients, six experienced transient postoperative fever that could be controlled with appropriate antibiotics and supportive treatment, and two had blood loss requiring blood transfusion. We suggest that percutaneous nephroscopic ureterolithotripsy is a safe and efficient treatment option for the removal of large impacted proximal ureteral stones.
