Results of renewed glenn-anderson technique in reimplantation of refluxing or obstructed lower end ureter [25 patients]

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study is to analyze the efficacy and outcome of distal tunnel ureteral reimplantation in refluxing and obstructed lower end ureter. The present study included 25 patients[17 males and 8 females], selected from Al-Azhar University Hospital [New Damietta], at the period between April 2005 and April 2007, Glenn-Anderson advancement [distal tunnel] ureteral reimplantation was performed in 10 patients with refluxing ureter [8 patients with secondary reflux and 2 patients with primary reflux], and 15 patients with obstructed lower end ureters. The success rate At 3 months improvement was observed in 20 cases [80, 0%] while at 9 months success rate was 88% and at 18 months success rate was 92%, The results of the present work revealed that the Glenn-Anderson technique [intravesical ureteral reimplantation] is a suitable and excellent for treatment of both refluxing or obstructed lower end ureter [stricture] whatever the cause
