title: [Long-term observations on different methods of nephropexy].
abstract: In 29 patients with nephroptosis two different methods of nephropexy were compared; nephropexy using sutures passing through the parenchyma (n = 16) and nephropexy using tissue adhesives (n = 13). The first group was mobilized 3.5 days after operation, whereas the second group was mobilized one day after operation. On later follow-up 79% of the patients had no or minor complaints. Those patients who had the same disturbances as preoperatively had all been treated by nephropexy using sutures passing through the parenchyma. In 56% of this group radiological recurrence was seen, whereas in the group using tissue adhesives there was only 8% radiological recurrence. We think therefore that the nephroxepy using tissue adhesive is the simplest and least traumatic method.
