title: Results of the surgical treatment of congenital hydronephrosis caused by subpelvic obstruction.
abstract: The results of surgical treatment for obstruction at the pyeloureteral junction in 282 patients, both children and adults, are presented. Most of the patients were treated by the Anderson-Hynes method, without nephrostomy. Good results were achieved in 71.2%, satisfactory ones in 20.4% of the cases. The rest of the patients underwent further surgery. The causes of late and early postoperative complications are analysed. A good result depends upon the adequate choice of operation and the correct technique of its performance.
