summary
- Purpose. We reviewed and analysed the results of our surgical treatment of primary obstructive megaureters in neonates, infants
- and older children. Method. From 1995 to 2001, 67 children were treated for primary obstructive megaureter. In 63 of them surgical treatment was
- necessary and they underwent partial resection of the lower part of the ureter and ureteroneocystostomy m. Poltiano-Leadbe-
- tter or m. Mathisen. In 12 patients narrowing of the reimplanted ureter was done, using the method of Hendren, Kalicinski or
- Starr. Five patients underwent transient percutaneous nephrestomy before the operation. Results. Postoperatuve renal scintigraphy and intravenous pyelography revealed improvement of the renal function in all patients.
- In 10,4% of them the vesicoureteral reflux was observed and they were treated by endoscopic ostial injection. None of patients
- had stricture recurence after surgery. Conclusions. Patients with primary obstructive megaureters should be observed before treatment. The surgical method of choice
- is a resection of the stricture and anti-refluxing reimplantation of the ureter. In patients with considerably enlarged ureters,
- surgical narrowing schould be performed.
