Effectiveness of Percutaneous Nephrostomy: A Prospective Institution Based Assessment in a Tertiary Teaching Hospital in Addis Ababa, Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital,Ethiopia ,2023-2024

Majority of percutaneous drainage are done for the purpose of draining an obstructed upper system be it sterile or septic obstruction. The procedure might be done for the obstruction caused by either a benign or malignant condition. Most of patients who undergo this procedure are its mainly done as a permanent and is part of palliative care given for them. As an objective of this study, we are going to explore the safety and efficacy of our procedures done to alleviate the renal upper system obstruction in a wide variety of causes.(1)
