Abstract
Ten patients with prune belly uropathy, including 7 neonates, were treated with extensive surgical tailoring of the upper urinary tracts using primarily the upper ureteral segment. Simultaneous transabdominal orchiopexy, particularly in the neonate, is described as a useful adjunct. The early results in these patients justify this aggressive approach.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
