title: Patterns of recovery of renal function after surgical relief of chronic bilateral partial ureteral obstruction.
abstract: A canine model of bilateral chronic partial ureteral obstruction with one side severely obstructed and the other moderately obstructed was used to determine which kidney should be initially released to facilitate maximum recovery of renal function. The data show a significantly greater return of total renal function (20 per cent) if the more severely injured kidney is released first.
