We describe the different interventional ultrasonographic techniques available in our unit and report the results achieved in 254 puncture-aspiration of abdominal and retroperitoneal masses, 158 ultrasonically-guided nephrostomies, 36 percutaneous drainage of purulent or serous collections, 114 biopsies of orthotopic kidneys and 129 renal grafts. We analyze the techniques' safety as well as their complications.
