title: [The results of the percutaneous treatment of obstructed ureteral diversions. The technic and personal experience in 46 cases].
abstract: The ureteral diversions performed in the treatment of mainly malignant lesions of the pelvis with ureteral or bladder involvement may be complicated by strictures and cause hydronephrosis, pyelonephritis and lithiasis. Personal experience and technique are described as applied in the percutaneous antegrade drainage of different urinary diversions (cutaneous ureterostomy, ileal conduit, colon conduit, ureterosigmoidostomy, ureterocolostomy) in 46 patients. The good results obtained (70% success rate), the absence of major complications, the low cost and the little patient discomfort confirm the leading role of percutaneous treatment versus surgery in obstructed urinary diversions.
