  • Title: Simultaneous repair of bilateral ureteropelvic junction obstruction.
    Author: Provet JA, Hanna MK.
    Journal: Urology; 1989 May; 33(5):390-4. PubMed ID: 2775363.
    Abstract:
    Fifteen children with bilateral ureteropelvic junction obstruction underwent simultaneous repair as a single procedure. Dismembered pyeloplasty and ureterocalycostomy were the two procedures used. Ten were performed through anterior subcostal incisions. Posterior lumbotomy provided adequate exposure in 5 children and further contributed to shortened hospitalizations. The functional and anatomic results were excellent. Simultaneous bilateral pyeloplasty through posterior lumbotomy is a safe and cost-effective alternative to staged procedures for bilateral ureteropelvic junction obstruction.
