title: [Ureterocystoneostomy using the Politano-Leadbetter procedure in adults].
abstract: At the Urology Clinic of the University of Berne during a seven-year period 79 ureterocystoneostomies (UCNS) have been performed with adults suffering from various urologic illness. Technique of operation was a modified Politano-Leadbetter procedure. Over 90% success was achieved in the reflux-only group, acceptable results were obtained with patients suffering from ureteral problems due to gynecologic surgical injury or tuberculosis, while reimplantation of megaureters had a low success rate. Early postoperative complications were rare, and mortality due to the operation was zero.
