Abstract
- The accepted treatment for significant obstruction of the ureteropelvic junction has in general been open operative surgery. However, attention has recently been drawn to the efficacy of percutaneous pyeloplasty. We experienced the twenty-eight patients of the UPJ obstruction during a 10-year period. Of these patients 20 have underwent open pyeloureteroplasty and 8 were performed percutaneous pyeloplasty. Among these 8 patients, 5 were undergone endopyelotomy only and 3 were dilated successfully by balloon dilation after endopyelotomy. The results led us to evaluate these modalities for treatment of UPJ obstruction and the initial results of percutaneous pyeloplasty were encouraging.
