  • Title: Loop nephrostomy with the Cummings catheter.
    Author: Gillenwater JY.
    Journal: J Urol; 1977 May; 117(5):641-2. PubMed ID: 859204.
    Abstract:
    Experience with the Cummings U-nephrostomy tube for more than 3 years in more than 30 cases has been favorable. Replacement in patients requiring long-term diversion has been necessary every 3 to 4 months because of ingrowth of tissue into the mushroom, causing an obstruction. Insertion of the new Cummings catheter by the technique outlined has been easy and free of complications.
