[Radionuclide function tests after transverse and longitudinal nephrotomy in coral calculi of the kidney]

In 19 patients ING and scintigramme were compared before and 1 year after operations of coral calculi. 7 times a transversal, 12 times a longitudinal cutting was chosen. The evaluation of the isotope nephrogrammes did not show any significant differences. The pre- and postoperative scintigrammes in the chi 2-test resulted in highly significant differences in favour of the transversal nephrotomy. The present animal-experimental results can be confirmed clinically.
