title: [Surgical treatment of neuromuscular dysplasia of the ureter].
abstract: Ten clinical cases of neuromuscular dysplasia of the ureter (NMDU) are reported. Eight patients were young (24-38 years), two--of the middle age (41-58 years). NMDU was bilateral in two patients. Ureteral achalasia of the congenital solitary kidney occured in one case. One 28-year-old female with megaureter of the solitary kidney had interstitial cystitis. Clinical picture of the disease was characterized primarily with acute pyelonephritis, pain and secondary urolithiasis. Surgical treatment consisted in resection of the affected part of the ureter with modeling of the lumen of the latter on the drainage and Boari plastic repair. Bilateral Boari operation was made in 2 patients. In one case of ureteral achalasia and ureterocele direct ureterocystoanastomosis was created with good result. Sigmocystoplasty with transplantation of the solitary kidney ureter into the intestinal transplant was made in the patient with scar contracture of the detrusor and megaureter. Functional result of the operation was good. Complications were registered in 4 patients, 2 of which were reoperated. In nine patients of ten good and satisfactory functional results were obtained.
