The different genesis of the nosologic entities underlying--SOU requires adequate effective and organ preserving treatment. In the authors series of 681 patients the mot common approach to treatment und transureteral operations (46.7 per cent) with surgical treatment ranking next (44.5 per cent), presented by organ preserving, organ removing, palliative and reconstructive procedures. Third in incidence was extracorporal lithotripsy of ureteral calculi (31.3 per cent). Judirrdual conservative treatment was least common (7.6 per cent). As a result of treatment in 76 per cent of the patients with "mute kidney" renal and ureteral function were re-established after removal of the stenosis and obstruction of the ureter.
