Neonatal bilateral ureteropelvic junction obstruction

F F Marshall, R D Jeffs, J K Smolev

    The Journal of Urology
    |January 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Bilateral ureteropelvic junction obstruction is more common in infants. Aggressive surgical repair in neonates preserved good kidney function, offering hope in challenging cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Urology
    • Nephrology
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Bilateral ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) presents a significant challenge in neonates.
    • Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for preserving renal function.

    Observation:

    • The incidence of bilateral UPJO appears higher in patients under one year of age.
    • Three neonates with bilateral UPJO underwent aggressive surgical reconstruction.

    Findings:

    • The surgical reconstruction resulted in good renal function in all three neonates.
    • Positive outcomes were achieved despite a seemingly unfavorable clinical prognosis.

    Implications:

    • Aggressive surgical management can be effective in treating neonatal bilateral UPJO.
    • This approach offers a viable option for preserving kidney function in young infants with severe obstruction.
