Long-term results after megaureter folding in children

Long-Term Outcome Analysis of Starr Plication for Primary Obstructive Megaureters

“…6 In their study good results were achieved in 52 cases with stenosis requiring reoperation in 2 and reflux grades 1 and 2 in 2, which was managed conservatively. Postoperative followup at 2 years included diaminetriamine pentaacetic acid renal scan in 21 children.…”

Concomitant Endoureterotomy and Dextranomer/Hyaluronic Acid Subureteral Injection for Management of Obstructive Refluxing Megaureter

“…[14][15][16] Ureteral tailoring is usually indicated to satisfy the 5:1 ratio of tunnel length to ureteral diameter recommended by Paquin, which can be performed through a folding or excisional technique. The complications of these two methods are well known and range from 4% to 25% in different series.…”

Endoureterotomy for Treatment of Primary Obstructive Megaureter in Children

“…Two methods are used for remodeling of megaureters: excisional tapering and plication. 5,18 The complications of the classic methods are well known, with rates ranging from 4% to 25% in different series. 5,[19][20][21][22][23][24] An important complication of both techniques is stricture secondary to damage to the thin and fragile ureteral vessels.…”
