Surgery on solitary kidneys in childhood.

From 1969 to 1984, 31 children were operated on for a diseased solitary kidney. There was a peak of incidence during the first 2 years of life, due mostly to congenitally malformed solitary kidneys. In contrast, operations in older children became necessary for diseased residual kidneys. In some children, secondary or even multiple operations had to be performed in order to maintain satisfactory organ function. Except in three preuraemic patients, renal functions were fully compensatory during a follow-up of 1-16 years. Former reservations regarding surgical intervention in solitary kidneys should be dropped in the face of these good operative results.

Endoscopic findings in reflux esophagitis in childhood.

The position of esophagoscopy as a diagnostic aid in reflux esophagitis in 65 cases is discussed. Especially since fiberscopes have come into use, the diagnosis of reflux esophagitis by endoscopy is absolutely better than with radiological procedures.

[Causes of proximal atresia of the ureter in congenital hydronephrosis].

The proximal ureter atresia as a cause of a congenital hydronephrosis with functioning normal kidney is to a certain extent unknown. The histological elaboration of an uretero-pelvic resection preparation of a 7-year-old boy after Anderson-Hynes-plasty showed the transition of a stenosis of the ureter passage into a ureter atresia. Cause of the development of a proximal ureter atresia are secondary changes of the structure in the ureteropelvic segment due to the disturbed urodynamics in stenosis of the ureter passage. The possibilities of the genesis of atresia are discussed and it is referred to the clinical picture of the disease.
