Popis: Objective: The transverse dorsal lumbotomy approach provides excellent exposure to the PUJ and causes minimal tissue damage. In this study, we assess the efficacy of dorsal lumbotomy in PUJ obstruction in children younger than 6 months. Methods: All children less than 6 months who were managed with the dorsal lumbotomy approach between 2009 and 2017 were reviewed prospectively. Data included: demographic data, pre/post-operative renal ultrasound scan with SFU grading and RDS, operative time, post-operative complications, and follow up results. Results: A total of 42 children with a mean age of 4.4 ± 1 months were included. On pre-operative RDS, all patients had an obstructive pattern and a SRF of 30.3 ± 9.3. The mean operative duration was 49 min and analgesia was minimal. Post-operative ultrasound at 6 months showed an improvement in hydronephrosis ( p Conclusion: Transverse dorsal lumbotomy approach is a safe and efficient alternative in patients less than 6 month.
