Laparoscopic pyeloureterostomy in ureteral duplication with lower polar ureteropelvic junction obstruction: easy and effective

J Laparoendosc Adv Surg Tech A. 2007 Dec;17(6):785-8. doi: 10.1089/lap.2007.0013.

Abstract

Ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction in ureteral duplication is not uncommon. Ureteropyelostomy is a safe, easy surgical option when the adequate length of the distal ureter is not available for pyeloplasty. In this paper, we present the case of a 26-year-old male who was treated with laparoscopic ureteropyelostomy for a symptomatic lower moiety UPJ obstruction.
