Of the 73 patients with 83 ureters (male 49 and female 24, age range 8 months to 13 years, median 41 months). Forty-one cases were on the left, 22 were on the right and 10 were bilateral obstruction. The most common presenting symptoms were intermittent abdominal pain and urinary infection. All patients were evaluated preoperatively by ultrasound, voiding cystourethrogram, intravenous pyelogram and diagnosed as UVJO. Reimplantation was done by the Cohen technique in all patients.
