Abstract:
Different surgical treatments for the ureteroceles were reviewed, but their comparison is difficult. Frequently the results are different, due to the type of patients treated, the different techniques and the recovery criteria used. We present and analyze the results in 61 patients treated during 23 years at the Children's Hospital in Panama City. 25% of our cases were reoperated (statistically acceptable). There is not one surgical technique for all cases. Each one has to be treated according to the type of lesion they present.
