Summary:From its humble beginnings as a method of expediently decompressing the obstructed kidney, the field of interventional uroradiology has evolved in the hands of urologists and interventional radiologists to a means of addressing myriad problems in the urinary tract and has changed the day-to-day practice of urology.

After a review of this basic procedure, extensions of the technique and new applications of emerging technology are reviewed.
