    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Pyelocalyceal diverticula are uncommon renal abnormalities.
    • They often present asymptomatically until complications arise.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the frequency of pyelocalyceal diverticula.
    • To investigate their association with other renal abnormalities.
    • To evaluate the outcomes of surgical intervention.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of 5000 routine intravenous pyelograms (IVPs).
    • Review of associated renal abnormalities and complications.
    • Assessment of surgical treatment outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Pyelocalyceal diverticula were identified as occasional findings.

  • Complications such as inflammation and stones were the primary cause of symptoms.
  • Surgical management of complicated diverticula yielded positive postoperative results.

    • Conclusions:

    • Surgical intervention, specifically the removal of the affected renal segment, is indicated for complicated pyelocalyceal diverticula.
    • This surgical approach is safe and associated with favorable outcomes.
