  • Title: [Late diagnosis of the avulsion of the pyelo-ureteral junction treated by ureterocalicostomy].
    Author: de la Taille A, Houdelette P, Houlgatte A, Saporta F, Berlizot P, Fournier R.
    Journal: Ann Urol (Paris); 1997; 31(5):288-90. PubMed ID: 9480634.
    Abstract:
    The authors report an exceptional case of delayed diagnosis of avulsion of the ureteropelvic junction in a 27-year-old man. Organization of the urohaematoma prevented ureteropelvic anastomosis and the kidney could only be preserved by performing ureterocalicostomy. This technique, generally used for tuberculous retracted renal pelvis, or failure of pyelotomy or ureteropelvic junction repair in horseshoe kidneys or kidneys with retracted renal pelvis, allowed renal preservation in this case.
