EXTRAVESICAL URETERAL REIMPLANTATION - RESULTS IN 128 PATIENTS

Purpose: We evaluated the results of extravesical ureteral reimplantat ion in children. Materials and Methods: We reviewed the records of 128 children (174 ureters) who underwent ureteral reimplantation via extr avesical techniques. Primary vesicoureteral reflux was the most common diagnosis (73 patients). Results: The extravesical technique produced a successful result in all patients (no reflux or obstruction). The 2 complications included postoperative urosepsis and transient urinary retention. Conclusions: Extravesical ureteral reimplantation is a reli able procedure with predictable results comparable to those of more tr aditional intravesical techniques.
