Abstract

A case of entrapped nephrostomy tube in a 61-year-old woman who underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy and subsequent multiple ESWL for a left staghorn stone is presented. A nephrostomy track was created alongside the Malecot catheter and the overgrown tissue which was bridging the wings of the tube was incised with a Sachse urethrotome. To prevent this complication the wings of the Malecot should freely expand in the renal collecting system and the catheter should stay in situ for no more than 3 weeks. Copyright © 2004 S.
