title: [100 percutaneous endopyelotomies. Technique, indications, results].
abstract: 100 percutaneous endopyelotomies were performed in 95 patients from October 1985 to February 1991 to treat 46 cases of acquired stenosis and 54 cases of congenital hydronephrosis. The acquired stenoses were treated by scalpel incision, while the congenital hydronephrosis were generally treated by electrocautery. The evaluable results for 81 ureteric units with a mean follow-up of 37 months showed an overall success rate of 84%. No significant difference in the results was observed in relation to the patient's age, the technique used or the stage of the hydronephrosis (81% success rate): the results in the treatment of congenital hydronephrosis (86%) are slightly inferior to the results of surgical pyeloplasty.
