The pelvi-ureteric incision carried out during percutaneous pyelolysis has been intubated with a tapered 14-french catheter in 20 patients. This catheter provided both internal and external pelvic drainage and proved efficient in decompressing the upper ureter when drained externally. This catheter provided optimal conditions for pelvi-ureteric healing and allowing splintage of a sufficient diameter to enlarge the upper ureter and improve drainage from the obstructed renal pelvis.
