Summary:Transcutaneous nephrolithotomy is widely used in management of nephrolithiasis. The outcome of the intervention is largely due to successful establishment of nephrostoma. For this purpose retrograde nephrostomy was employed in 7 nephrolithiasis patients. Relevant technique is described for primary and recurrent disease. Its indications involve absence of calyceal-pelvic dilation, obesity, pararenal cicatrices. The manipulation appeared beneficial in all the cases. Retrograde nephrostomy is considered an alternative to antegrade nephrostomy in the treatment of nephrolithiasis.
