title: Autologous renal transplantation and pyelocystostomy after unsuccessful pyeloplasty.
abstract: A total of 4 patients with persistent outflow obstruction after pyeloplasty for hydronephrosis was reoperated with renal autotransplantation and pyelocystostomy. All 4 patients had undergone an unsuccessful Anderson-Hynes pyeloplasty and 2 also had had a second operation. All patients had relief of pain, normalization of urine outflow and improved renal function during an observation of 27 to 37 months. Occasional asymptomatic bacteriuria occurred in 2 patients. Thus, renal autotransplantation and pyelocystostomy may be considered a useful and safe method to eliminate persistent outflow obstruction after unsuccessful pyeloplasty.
