Surgery

  • Prior to the 1980s, nephrectomy was the standard treatment for pyonephrosis.[1]
  • Presently, interventional procedures are required to drain the pus in pyonephrosis.
  • Drainage of the pus can be done through either retrograde catheterization (placing a catheter in the ureter) or antegrade decompression through percutaneous nephrostomy tube placement
  • Retrograde decompression is a minimally invasive procedure that requires placement of catheter in ureters. It is performed under general anesthesia and is contraindicated in hemodynamically unstable patients. Ureteric stenting is a good option for drainage of pus.[2]
  • Percutaneous nephrostomy catheter placement is done when patient is hemodynamically unstable
