  • Title: The ureteral folding technique for megaureter surgery.
    Author: Ehrlich RM.
    Journal: J Urol; 1985 Oct; 134(4):668-70. PubMed ID: 4032569.
    Abstract:
    The folding technique for megaureter surgery achieved a success rate of 94.6 per cent in 74 megaureters. In this series failure to correct reflux was noted in only 3 ureters and only 1 obstruction resulted. This operation theoretically preserves lower ureteral blood supply, eliminates suture line leakage and prolonged stenting, and is a model of cost-effectiveness.
