Hebrew term
נפרוסטום
Hebrew to English
Medical
Medical (general)
A patient underwent surgery (PCNL) to remove kidney stones
In the hospitalization report there are two comments. One says that after surgery he was weaned off of the nephrostom (נגמל מנפרוסטום).
In the second one it says that a few years later he had a hematuria in the שקית הסטומה
In the first comment, are they saying that he was weaned off of a nephrostomy bag, collecting fluid from the kidney? Is that something one weans off of? Or does נפרוסטום refer to something else?
And in the second one, does the שקית הסטומה also refer to a nephrostomy bag, or something else?
Thanks

Some info all in Eng, figure 4 near beginning, ((( looks like TWO Drain Tubes)))
It says there; One end of the catheter will be in the bladder. The other end of the catheter will extend from your body (see Figure 5). It will be attached to an external drainage bag strapped to your leg. This catheter lets urine flow in 2 directions. It can go out to the drainage bag or into the bladder.
( I do not know much about it, maybe some one else can help)
