Abstract
A retrospective analysis of 44 consecutive pediatric ureteral reimplantations in 42 patients (51 ureters reimplanted) is presented, in which the ureter was tapered by infolding or wedge resection. Few postoperative complications occurred and the results were essentially comparable for the 2 groups, although slightly more postoperative ureteral obstruction occurred in the wedge resection group. Over-all success rate (no postoperative reflux and no obstruction) was 95% for the infolded group and 90% for wedge resection group. Stent time and hospital stay were significantly less for the infolded group.
