Pelviureteric obstruction in children treated by retrograde ureteroplasty.
Pelviureteric obstruction was treated by dilatation with a Fogarty balloon catheter in 2 children. The catheter was introduced through the cystoscope without any percutaneous procedure, ureteric stents or drainage. Follow-up for 18 months indicated improved drainage and renal function. The merits and demerits of this technique are discussed.
