Postnatal management of antenatally diagnosed ureteropelvic junction obstruction
چکیده انگلیسی

ObjectiveThe management of antenatally diagnosed ureteropelvic junction obstruction (PUJO) is controversial. Here, we present our experience over a period of 13 years and discuss our management protocol.Materials and methodsWe reviewed the files of 234 patients with antenatally diagnosed congenital hydronephrosis due to PUJO. Management was tailored to each patient, based on a combination of diethylenetetraminepentacetic acid renogram outcome, pelvic diameter, as well as the patient’s symptoms.ResultsPyeloplasty was carried out early in 52 kidneys. Of the total, 182 patients were managed expectantly. Out of these, 45 underwent delayed pyeloplasty. The remaining 137 patients (189 units) were managed non-operatively. In patients who underwent early pyeloplasty, the mean split differential renal function was 37% before and 40.05% after surgery. In those with delayed intervention, the mean renal function was 37.8% before and 42.2% after surgery. In patients who did not have surgery, the mean differential renal function was 45.7% initially and 48.2% at the last accepted follow up. The overall operative success rate was 97.9%.ConclusionWe believe that pyeloplasty is the proper treatment for babies with congenital PUJO and < 40% split differential function and/or pelvic diameter >35 mm at the initial visit. In other patients a period of observation is warranted, and pyeloplasty should be carried out only if their kidney function deteriorates or the renogram curve does not show improvement. With the excellent results of pyeloplasty we believe that a safer approach is to operate on more kidneys rather than risk of losing valuable kidney function.
