1900 Amer. Year-bk. Med. & Surg. 2 184 MM. Guyon and T. Albarran discussed the subject of nephrotomy at the French Surgical Congress of 1898. They restrict the term nephrotomy to the making of an incision into the kidney; but when the pelvis of the kidney is opened through the kidney-substance, and the wound is kept open and a fistula is formed, they call the operation nephrostomy.
1932 Jrnl. Amer. Med. Assoc. 8 Oct. 1229/2 Nephrostomy on only one side makes the care of the urinary drainage apparatus much easier.
1966 New Eng. Jrnl. Med. 22 Dec. 1405/2 A nephropexy was done, but not a nephrostomy.
1989 Brit. Med. Jrnl. 27 May 1417/1 Neonates who were referred with a known obstructed kidney had nephrostomy or pyeloplasty.
