Refluxing ureteral stump
Scandinavian Journal of Urology and Nephrology
|January 1, 1978
Abstract:
Two cases are presented of reflux into a residual ureter causing recurrent urinary tract infection. A voiding cysto-urethrogram should be included in the investigative routines when nephrectomy for unilateral chronic pyelonephritis is planned. If severe reflux is seen, the entire ureter should be removed along with the kidney.
