title: [Posterior vertical lumbar incision in the treatment of pyelo-ureteral junction anomaly: report of 71 cases].
abstract: Posterior vertical lumbar incision, described for the first time in 1869 by Simon, provides a simple access to the kidney and offers excellent exposure of the ureteropelvic junction. The technical modifications proposed by Gil Vernet facilitate access to the kidney and reduce the morbidity. The operative technique is described in detail and the authors report their retrospective experience of 71 cases of correction of ureteropelvic junction anomalies (stage 2, 3 and 4). The morbidity was low (19%). Patients returned to work by the 3rd week. 88% of good results were observed at 3 months (84% in initial stage and 4 lesions). This approach should be preferred to the lateral incision or the percutaneous approach due to the simplicity of the technique and the low complication rate.
