Origin, Clinical Experiences and Treatment of Urinary Obstructions of the Lower Ureter in Childhood

Lower Ureteric Obstruction in Children

“…In the series presented by Bischoff and Busch (1961), Rudhe andEricsson (1967), Johnston (1967) and by Eckstein (1969) no deaths from ureteric obstruction were reported, but about 10 per cent of the kidneys involved had been removed. Rehbein (1969) reported 2 deaths among 19 patients.…”

“…1).The ureteric orifice may be narrow and the calibre of the ureter reduced. The pathogenesis is unknown, and both organic (Bischoff and Busch, 1961;Rudhe and Ericsson, 1967) and functional (Johnston, 1967) stenosis have been claimed. The condition has been regarded as a benign lesion with little tendency to progression (Williams, 1958).We here present our results in 22 children with lower ureteric obstruction.…”

Correction of Reflux with the Ureteric Crossover Method Clinical Experience in 50 Patients

“…Four refluxing ureters (grade IV) were surgically modified because they were enlarged and tortuous. Ureteric plication (Starr, 1979) was used for two ureters and ureteric tailoring (Bischoff and Busch, 1961) for the other two. All patients have been followed up for 8 to 53 months post-operatively (average 29).…”

Ureteric reimplantation: a history of the development of surgical techniques

“…Bischoff and Busch [15] provided the first report of a method which involved tailoring the ureter; the operation involved extravesical dismemberment with resection of the dilated ureter. The ureter was extended by aU‐shaped incision, by tubularizing urothelium from the orifice toward the bladder neck; the distal ureter was formed from the floor of the bladder.…”
