An intravenous pyelogram (IVP) typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes to complete. The procedure involves several steps, including injecting a contrast dye and taking a series of X-rays to visualize the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. Preparation time and post-procedure observation may add to the overall time spent at the facility. However, the actual imaging portion is relatively quick.

A cystoscopy is a procedure that involves using a thin, flexible tube with a camera to examine the inside of the bladder and urethra. A pyelogram is a diagnostic test that involves injecting a contrast dye into the kidneys and taking X-ray images to visualize the kidneys, ureters, and bladder to look for any abnormalities or blockages.
Nephrology is the study of the kidney. A doctor who specializes in that field is a nephrologist.
I just had a retrograde pyelogram done. I asked my doctor if he is going to use stent and if he left inside do I have to come back for another procedure to remove them? He told me that he will use the strings to pull them out in his office on follow-up visit. And I think that is same as pigtail stents. Please confirm this with your doctor.
