  • Title: [Role of urinary diversion in pyeloplasty (author's transl)].
    Author: Homsy Y, Simard J, Debs C, Laberge I, Perreault G.
    Journal: Chir Pediatr; 1982; 23(1):37-42. PubMed ID: 7067027.
    Abstract:
    A retrospective study was made of 105 pyeloplasties in 103 patients over a period of 18 years with the aim of precisely determining the role of urinary diversion in the post-operative period by nephrostomy tube and/or ureteral splint. A group of patients undergoing the same type of procedure, but without diversion, served as controls. Short-term results are evaluated clinically and radiologically and long-term results are evaluated by review of X-ray charts. These results were submitted to statistical analysis that have helped to demystify the role played aby diversion in pyeloplasties.
