title: [Percutaneous nephropyelostomy in children (author's transl)].
abstract: Percutaneous nephropyelostomy with a fine needle technique was performed successfully in 20 out of 21 children with urinary tract obstruction. The procedure was of value in assessing the recovery of renal function and for measuring perfusion pressure. As a therapeutic measure the method was used to preoperatively in children who were severly ill, and post-operatively for the treatment of complications after surgery on the urinary tract. A complication seen in two children was repeated dislodgement of the catheter.
