Abstract:
Since January 1986, we have performed 25 dismembered pyeloplasties on 20 children with ureteropelvic junction obstruction. The posterior lumbotomy approach was used in 11 cases and their intraoperative course and postoperative status were compared to those who had operation through the standard flank incision. The surgical steps are described and the limitations of this approach are discussed.
