Abstract:
As the development of the percutaneous renal surgery, Ureteropelvic junction obstruction can be treated with endourologic technique instead of open surgery. Precutaneous endopyelotomy has been used mainly for the treatment of secondary ureteropelvic junction obstruction. But it was also successful for treatment of primary ureteropelvic junction obstruction. Recently, we performed endopyelotomy for 3 cases of ureteropelvic junction obstruction a 39 years-old male who had renal pelvic stones combined with ureteropelvic junction, a 32 years-old male with ureteropelvic junction obstruction and a 23 years-old male who had horseshoe kidney combined with ureteropelvic junction obstruction and good results were obtained.
