| Popis: | Purpose: We examine if there is a relationship between the histopathology of the renal pelvis and postoperative radiological findings in children with ureteropelvic junction obstruction.Materials and Methods: The records of 220 patients who underwent pyeloplasty for isolated ureteropelvic junction obstruction between 1988 and 1996 were retrospectively reviewed, and 41 (42 kidneys) were identified who had adequate histological specimens and postoperative radiographic studies (ultrasonography and/or well tempered renogram) for examination. Histological features of the lamina muscularis propria from the renal pelvis were correlated with the radiographic outcome after pyeloplasty.Results: Lamina muscularis propria thickness of the renal pelvis correlated significantly with radiological improvement. All kidneys with renal pelvic lamina muscularis propria thickness less than 250 μm. showed radiological improvement at 3 to 6 months postoperatively, those with thickness between 250 and 350 μm. had improvement at ... |
