Horseshoe kidney is a congenital defect of the urinary tract that occurs in 0.25% of the general population. The indications for division of the isthmus of horseshoe kidney are controversial, and if done, it is during the concomitant removal of additional defects accompanying horseshoe kidney. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of isthmusectomy of horseshoe kidney using laparosco...

Introduction: Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is associated with inadequate urine drainage from renal pelvis into ureter. UPJO results from incomplete recanalization of proximal ureter during fetal period which finally leads to hydrostatic distention of renal pelvis and calyces. Diagnosis is based on clinical symptoms, ultrasound, and diuretic isotopic renogram. Various surgical metho...

Objective: Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is a disease often diagnosed in childhood, but it can rarely be detected adults. Dismembered pyeloplasty the gold standard treatment method. In this study, we evaluated success of adult patients with UPJO. Material and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed data who underwent between January 2012 July 2021.

An unusual case of a 41-year-old woman with renovascular hypertension associated with unilateral hydronephrosis and ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) due to an accessory renal artery crossing the ureter were reported. Following surgical correction of the UPJO by dismembered pyeloplasty, the patient’s hydronephrosis resolved, and her requirement for antihypertensive therapy substantially...

This case report describes a distal ureteral atresia along with ureteropelvic junction obstruction which occurred in a 19-month-old female child. It is easily to be misdiagnosed as mere ureteropelvic junction obstruction and omitted the combined diagnosis of distal ureteral atresia. Dismembered pyeloplasty was done in local hospital after admission, however with the result of recurrent fever wh...
