Cohen 방법에 의한 요관방광문합술의 교정성적

Abstract

Surgical results of 34 children (68 ureters) who underwent Cohen ureteral reimplantation in the last 6 years were evaluated. All children were followed at least 4 months after the operation. Indication for the repair consisted of vesicoureteral reflux in 22 children, obstructive megaureter in 8 children and ureterocele in 4 children. The underlying problems in 55 ureters ( 94.8% ) were successfully corrected. Surgical failures were persistent reflux in 2 ureters, new ipsilateral reflux in 1 ureter and contralateral reflux in 1 ureter. However, no ureteral obstruction was noticed in this series. In conclusion, the Cohen cross trigonal technique was a safe and effective method of ureteral reimplantation in children. Key word : Ureteral reimplantation, Antireflux surgery.
