Nephrostomy Tube Care. A nephrostomy tube is a drainage tube placed into the kidney to drain urine directly from the kidney. The word nephrostomy comes from two Latin root words for kidney (nephr) and new opening (stomy).

The doctor often inserts the tube with the help of a laryngoscope, an instrument that permits the doctor to see the upper portion of the trachea, just below the vocal cords. During the procedure the laryngoscope is used to hold the tongue aside while inserting the tube into the trachea.
