URINARY OBSTRUCTION AND HYDRONEPHROSIS

URINARY OBSTRUCTION AND HYDRONEPHROSIS Two years ago, before this section, Quinby1 reported thirteen cases of hydronephrosis in which he had performed plastic operations; in seven instances the ureter had been transplanted to the dependent portion of the renal pelvis. (In 1922, with the report of three cases, Quinby2 described his operative technic.) In the discussion that followed, hope was expressed that postoperative tests of renal function and postoperative pyelograms of the kidney operated on would be made in further cases, to eliminate the possibility of silent atrophy having occurred. Quinby's clinical results in his cases were so excellent, over periods ranging from one to eight years, that we were stimulated to the performance of plastic procedures for hydronephrosis in selected cases.

Abstract

Two years ago, before this section, Quinby1 reported thirteen cases of hydronephrosis in which he had performed plastic operations; in seven instances the ureter had been transplanted to the dependent portion of the renal pelvis. (In 1922, with the report of three cases, Quinby2 described his operative technic.) In the discussion that followed, hope was expressed that postoperative tests of renal function and postoperative pyelograms of the kidney operated on would be made in further cases, to eliminate the possibility of silent atrophy having occurred. Quinby's clinical results in his cases were so excellent, over periods ranging from one to eight years, that we were stimulated to the performance of plastic procedures for hydronephrosis in selected cases. SCOPE OF PRESENT STUDY This report is concerned with ten operative procedures performed on nine patients at the Mayo Clinic by one of us (Walters). Results of nine of the ten
