[Surgical tactics in obstructive-suppurative calculous pyelonephritis in children]

An analysis of results of decompressive nephrostomy for obstructive purulent calculous pyelonephritis in 30 children has detected different complications aggravating the course of the disease and process of treatment. The authors propose a rational variant of operation--primary nephrolithotomia with nephrostomy. Operations were performed on 40 children. Immediate results of treatment were good in 30 children, satisfactory in 9 children. One patient died.
