Abstract
Concepts of renal counterbalance and animal experiments have long supported nephrectomy for prolonged complete unilateral ureteral obstruction. The situation in humans has been clarified by only a few reported cases. Herein we report 3 cases with relief of obstruction after at least 28, 28 and 150 days. Evidence is presented to support renal preservation in similar cases.Keywords
