Özet

Percutaneous nephrostomy is a well-known therapy for urinary drainage in patients with supravesical urinary tract obstruction. This procedure which was firstly applied by Goodwin et al in 1955 is known to be performed in patients with various urologic problems for many years, especially in adults. Percutaneous nephrostomy has generally been performed by urologists or interventional radiologists and it is recognized as a difficult procedure to apply, especially in the neonatal period. As discussed in this neonatal case, PN have a very effective role in the diagnosis and management of neonatal hydronephrosis, even it might be a life-saving procedure which can also be performed by an experienced pediatric nephrologist.
