summary

The article presents methods of diagnosing and evaluating the effectiveness of surgical treatment of hydronephrosis in children. Since post-operative urography does not provide clear interpretation the authors suggest the use of the flow-pres-sure study. The authors presnts the methodology of the above techni±ue and dis­cuss the effects of its usage in the early evaluation of effectiveness of surgical tre­atment of hydronephrosis in children.
