Four children were operated on by the transpubic approach for injury to the vagina or urethra and to correct malformations within the pelvis minor. One boy had posttraumatic stricture of the urethra, and a girl presented with disruption of the urethra and vagina. One of two boys who had congenital malformations was treated for epispadias and incontinence; the other for a large urethral diverticulum caused by anal atresia. Total reconstruction was achieved, and no complications of symphysis restoration were observed.

In 56 megaureters treated by the folding technique, good results were obtained in 52 (93%). Complications in four ureters included stenosis (2) and vesico-ureteral reflux (2). The width of the megaureters and minor renal calyces, the degree of hydronephrosis, and the serum urea and creatinine levels decreased significantly after the operation. The renal parenchyma thickness and the creatinine clearance level increased significantly.

The results of reimplantation of ureters in 141 children by a modified Politano-Leadbetter procedure are presented. 86 children were examined 3 to 13 years after operation. Cessation of signs of infection, reflux and ureteric obstruction was noted. The most common illnesses and congenital disorders of the urinary tract which accompany vesicoureteral reflux are discussed. Postoperative complications are also described.
