Research Studies
This retrospective study of all pyeloplasty’s completed at CHLA for ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) aims to answer some critical questions such as the difference between extrinsic and intrinsic obstruction, the utility of retrograde pyelogram, and the appropriate management for patients with concurrent UPJO and ureterovesical junction obstruction (UVJO).
