Abstract
A patient with cervical cancer had renal failure secondary to bilateral ureteric obstruction. Percutaneous nephrostomy was performed, allowing restoration of renal function while radiotherapy was administered. This technique offers a temporary means of bypassing obstructed ureters and is associated with low morbidity and minimal surgical risk.
