title: [Long-term follow up of patients surgically treated for pyelo-ureteral disease by the Anderson-Hynes technique].
abstract: A series of 48 patients with hydronephrosis (mean age 31 yrs.) underwent on Anderson-Hynes pyeloplasty. Assessment was carried out in 30 pts. after a mean observation time of 90 months, with a minimum 5 years follow-up. Clinical examination, laboratory investigations, renal ultrasonography, urography and renal scan were performed pre-operatively and at follow-up. There was one patient with evidence of stenosis in the ureteropelvic junction; one patient developed urinary leakage post-operatively and required surgical correction. All patients had symptoms pre-operatively and no one had symptoms post-operatively. Four patients had calcolosis associated, postoperatively all pts. were stone free; four years later one patient developed litiasis. We observed that the results of surgical intervention in hydronephrosis are excellent especially in patients aged less than 30 years.
