Surgical management included nephrectomy in 171 cases, nephrostomy in 35 cases, partial nephrectomy in 4 cases and reconstruction of ureteral stricture and contracted bladder in 57 cases. Of 267 cases, 3 cases of ureteral reimplantation and 6 cases of operation performed with intestinal segment were failed. For the success of operation performed with intestinal segment, creatinine lower than 2.0mg/dL was inevitable. Direct method of ureteral reimplantation were all successful but 1 case of Boari operation and 2 cases of antireflux method were failure. One case of Boari operation and 2 cases of operation performed with intestinal segment were dead. The causes of death were sepsis and acute renal failure.
