Abstract

A retrospective study was performed including all the children with megaureter operated at the Department of Urology of the General Hospital Osijek in the period from 1973 to 1989. In this period 53 children with 64 megaureters were operated. In 12 cases megaureter was bilateral, whereas 10 patient had double urinary system on one side. We have been especially interested in complex operative procedures applied and in their early complications. In addition, the etiology and the anatomic ultrastructure of megaureters are discussed in detail. The results of our study are presented in 7 tables, with a comment. We believe that megaureter still presents a problem in child urology. The best results are achieved when the first operation consists in modelling of the lower third of megaureter.
