Self-retaining loop nephrostomy.
Abstract
A self-retaining loop nephrostomy with an inflated balloon in the renal pelvis to prevent accidental extraction or displacement is described. An additional feature of this tube is a plug that may be positioned to promote maximal irrigation of the kidney with a stone solvent or to allow urine to flow from 1 or both ends of the loop.
