Two hundred four patients with urinary tuberculosis who underwent surgical intervention were evaluated during the period from 1970 to 1988. Surgical management included nephrectomy in 171 cases, nephrostomy in 35 cases, partial nephrectomy in 4 cases and reconstruction of ureteral stricture and contracted bladder in 57 cases. Of 267 cases, 3 cases of ureteral reimplantation and 6 cases of operation performed with intestinal segment were failed. For the success of operation performed with intestinal segment, creatinine lower than 2.0mg/dL was inevitable. Direct method of ureteral reimplantation were all successful but 1 case of Boari operation and 2 cases of antireflux method were failure. One case of Boari operation and 2 cases of operation performed with intestinal segment were dead. The causes of death were sepsis and acute renal failure.
