PRIMARY LOWER URINARY TRACT RECONSTRUCTION FOR NONFUNCTIONING RENAL MOIETIES ASSOCIATED WITH OBSTRUCTING URETEROCELES

We believe that primary, single stage, lower urinary tract reconstruction in children with severely compromised or nonfunctioning renal moieties damaged by ureteroceles is superior to upper urinary tract ablative surgery, successfully correcting the obstructive or refluxing pathology with minimal morbidity and risk during long-term followup.
