title: [Valves of the posterior urethra in the small infant. The surgeon's role and point of view].
abstract: The treatment of urinary obstruction by urethral valves is now performed in the newborn since the anomaly is recognized early on by ultrasonography. Its seems that the final result concerning recovery of renal function and urodynamic condition can be obtained by the primary destruction of valves better than by multiple operations following high urinary diversion. An unresolved problem is the persistence of urinary leakage following the treatment of such severe urinary obstructions.
