Abstract

Introduction: Nephrostomy insertion is a vital part of modern-day urology used to manage obstructed
renal tract or gain percutaneous renal access.
Method: We carried out a PubMed literature search on the history of the development of nephrostomies. Results: The first percutaneous nephrostomy was performed in 1864 on a child who died in 5 years. Nephroscopy was then described and performed in 1941 during an open surgery with subsequent advancement to percutaneous nephrolithotomy in 1976 and antegrade stent insertion in 1978.
Conclusion: Clinical need and innovation have led to percutaneous renal access and subsequent stone treatment modality.
