Impact of drainage catheter material, size, and anti-dislodgement mechanism on percutaneous nephrostomy exchange intervals: a systematic review protocol
2023-10-30
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> Percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) is a commonly performed procedure by interventional radiology and urology to treat urinary obstruction. In this procedure, a catheter is percutaneously placed into the renal pelvis for urinary diversion or hemorrhagic cystitis.
