Evaluation of 27 Cases of Uretero Pelvic Junction Stenosis

uretero pelvic junction obstruction in the newborn

uretero pelvic junction (upj) obstruction is a common cause of hydronephrosis in infants. the frequent use of fetal ultrasound is allowing early (prenatal) diagnosis of numerous uropathies previously delayed until the child either became symptomatic or had a palpable mass. newborn with severe obstruction often has marked improvement following correction, therefore, early diagnosis and operation...

Morgagni Hernia Accompanied by Obstruction of Uretero-pelvic Junction in Childhood

Tel: 90 422 341 0660 Fax: 90 422 341 0728-29 Diaphragmatic hernias (DH) are rare congenital defects with different types. Morgagni hernia (MH) is the least frequent one. Although Morgagni hernia is a surgical condition, for its asymptomatic course, diagnosis is usually incidental in a pediatric unit. Morgagni hernia can be associated with other congenital anomalies such as heart defects, omphal...

Prenatal diagnosis, management and outcome of fetal uretero-pelvic junction obstruction.

Prenatal diagnosis, management and outcome were studied retrospectively in 24 cases of unilateral and bilateral uretero-pelvic junction obstruction (UPJO). Moderate-to-marked pelvic dilatation was documented in 19 out of 24 cases. The low morbidity and mortality observed in this study are probably determined by the late (third trimester) detection of UPJO, resulting in an underestimation of the...

Closed External End Double J Catheter as a Nephrostent in Pyeloplasty for Infants with Uretero-Pelvic Junction Obstruction

Uretero-Pelvic Junction Obstruction (UPJO) is a common congenital anomaly that may need pyeloplasty to prevent renal function deterioration. The purpose of this study was to describe a modified use of jj stent catheter in pyeloplasty for infant with UPJO. A series of 12 children, between 3 and 10 months, underwent stenting open pyeloplasty. In each patient a 6 French Foley catheter was placed w...

Spinal cord stimulation for the treatment of chronic renal pain secondary to uretero-pelvic junction obstruction.

BACKGROUND Chronic renal pain secondary to uretero-pelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is common but remains poorly understood. Patients with UPJO experience frequent infections, renal calculi and pain. Management options for patients with this condition are traditionally limited to surgical interventions to eliminate the obstruction. Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) has gained widespread popularit...
