Abstract:
Since 1980, 35 pyelomanometric procedures have been performed in the Department of Clinical Urology for dilatations of the upper urinary tract of uncertain etiology. During two recent procedures, pressure measurements were modified by an extra-urinary obstacle caused by the patient's position. Our experience confirms the value of the Whittaker test as well as the need for a faultless technique.
