title: [Current trends in the treatment of malformative uropathies].
abstract: Urinary tract malformations are common malformations. Surgical correction is very often required to normalize the urinary tract and to prevent renal function deterioration or to ameliorate a compromised renal function. The results of the surgical management have had a considerable improvement in the last decades. Three mechanisms worked at this regard: 1) the possibility of antenatal ultrasound diagnosis; 2) a better knowledge of the natural postnatal evolution; 3) the long-term results of the surgical treatment. Referring to literature's data and especially to a wide personal experience, the Author outlines the correct indications for surgery and the most effective surgical procedures in the management of the most important urinary tract malformations.
