Experiences on Anderson-Hynes Pyeloplasty / 대한비뇨기과학회지

ABSTRACT

The operative technic for the correction of hydronephrosis due to obstruction at ureteropelvic junction has been discussed. There are two different types of technics in pyeloplasty ; 1st. nondismembered pyeloplasty molds and restructures the obstructed ureteropelvic junction without completely dismembering it and 2nd. dismembered pyeloplasty interrupts the continuity of the transport system of the obstructed ureteropelvic junction. Since Andereon-Hynes reported the technics which belongs to dismembered pyeloplasty for retrocaval ureter in 1949, many articles with satisfactory result have been published. We report Anderson-Hynes pyeloplasty for hydronephrosis secondary to obstruction of the ureteropelvic Junction in 7 cases. Advantages of Anderson-Hynes pyeloplasty are as follows. 1. Complete excision of the obstructive segment. 2. Reduction of the dead space. 3. Excision of a good part of the sick pelvis. 4. Activation of latent pacemaker P cells.
