| Popis: | Objective To review the histological change in the upper pole of excised duplex kidneys and assess whether ante-natal diagnosis might predispose to more conservative surgical management of this abnormality. Patients and methods Fifty consecutive patients undergoing upper pole hemi-nephroureterectomy for ectopic ureter or ectopic ureterocele between 1980 and 1992 had their histology reviewed and assessed for dysplastic, inflammatory and obstructive change. Results Segmental scarring and chronic and acute inflammatory change occurred consistently and the degree of inflammation seemed unaffected by ante-natal diagnosis. Dysplasia was seen in 70% of patients with ureterocele and in only 30% of those with ectopic ureter. One patient had normal histology. Conclusion There was no evidence of reversible histological change in patients with ectopic ureter and ectopic ureterocele who were diagnosed ante-natally. Preservation of the upper pole of the kidney does not seem justified in the light of the histological evidence. |
