title: [Anderson-Hynes: results of the treatment of pyeloureteral junction syndrome].
abstract: This paper is a review of 63 cases of congenital Pyeloureteral Union Syndrome. A total of 47 patients were treated using the Anderson-Hynes reconstructive technique with 3-4 years follow-up. Incidence was analyzed by sex, age and side affected, without a clear predominance of one over the others being shown. Mean age at the time of diagnosis was 39-43 years. The predominant symptom is the presence of lumbo-abdominal pain (36.5%) but the lack of clinical symptoms is also frequent (25.3%). Pyelocalyceal lithiasis is the most frequent secondary pathology (28.5%). U.I.V. appears to be an irreplaceable means for diagnosis, achieving with this technique 93.6% of diagnosis. Hydronephrosis, in different degrees, and absence of ureteral contrast are the urographic signs most commonly found: 66% and 61% respectively. Using the Anderson-Hynes technique a rete of 85% good results can be obtained, with few complications and achieving disappearance of clinical symptoms and morphofunctional normality in a high percentage. Anderson-Hynes dismembered ureteropyeloplasty seems to be the choice technique for conservative surgical treatment of the P.U.U. syndrome.
