Abstract

The results of surgery for megaureter are reviewed in 40 children. Special attention is focused on the etiologic causes of these dilated ureters in relation to the surgical results. Thirty of 31 children with obstructive or refluxing megaureters and normal bladders had satisfactory results. Less satisfactory results occurred in children with abnormal bladder dynamics. No child in this series required upper ureteral tapering. A discussion of the causes and further management of the surgical failures is presented.
