title: The longer-term results of undiversion.
abstract: Thirty patients have been undiverted over the past 7 years. All but six were originally diverted for neuropathic problems of incontinence and/or upper tract compromise. Eighteen were undiverted because of deteriorating renal function. Only two were reconstructed for purely social reasons. Twenty-eight patients have stable renal function, though three are enuretic and two have persistent Pseudomonas infection. Ureteric "failure" remains the most difficult problem.
