Case report on a patient with an extensive dilatation of renal pelvis and ureter during the first and the following two pregnancies. Operative drainage was performed of renal pelvis on both sides in the 24th and 28th week of the first pregnancy. The second pregnancy ended with spontaneous abortion in the 27th week of pregnancy. Percutaneous punction nephrostomy with successful course of the third pregnancy. Drainage of renal pelvis by punction nephrostomy is indicated in case of co-existence between dilatation of renal pelvis and severe illness and destruction renal parenchyma and of septic pyelonephritis in pregnancy. This procedure should also be done in case of a solitary kidney and excessive dilatation of the renal pelvis. An operative approach is recommended in renal abscess.
