  • Title: Complications of posterior urethral valve surgery and their prevention.
    Author: Churchill BM, Krueger RP, Fleisher MH, Hardy BE.
    Journal: Urol Clin North Am; 1983 Aug; 10(3):519-30. PubMed ID: 6623740.
    Abstract:
    The treatment of patients with posterior urethral valves has improved dramatically in recent times. Our personal experience with 207 patients with posterior urethral valves between 1957 and 1978 reveals a striking reduction in both mortality and morbidity during the latter decade. We have attempted to identify clearly the incidence, etiologic factors, preventive measures, and surgical treatment of complications arising in these patients. The overall improvement in management is certainly attributable to a growing experience and the constant advancements in the medical and surgical armamentarium. Our next goal at this time is to maximize long-term renal function and growth potential in these patients.
