[Anterograde endopyelotomy].
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the results obtained with antegrade endopyelotomy and compare them with those reported in the literature. METHODS: 16 patients with ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction treated by antegrade endopyelotomy were evaluated. RESULTS: In our series the success rate was 81.3%. Avulsion of the UPJ was observed in one patient and required conversion into an Anderson-Hynes pyeloplasty. Two cases of re-stenosis were diagnosed within the first three months. CONCLUSIONS: Long-term follow-up shows that antegrade endopyelotomy can be indicated as the treatment of choice for primary and secondary UPJ strictures.
