Subcapsular pyelolithotomy for recurrent renal calculi.

Subcapsular pyelolithotomy was performed in 28 patients who had earlier undergone either one or more operations in the same kidney for renal calculi. This approach was useful in salvaging the kidney even in the presence of dense perirenal and periureteric adhesions obscuring the normal anatomy of these structures. Serious consideration should be given to this procedure before making the decision to perform nephrectomy in such cases. Surgical technique and the results are discussed.

Uretero-diverticulostomy to provide efficient drainage of pyelocaliceal diverticlum without sacrificing functional renal parenchyma.

Dependent drainage of a lower pole pyelocaliceal diverticulum was achieved by uretero-diverticulostomy in eight patients who already had compromised renal function due to bilateral megaureters or posterior urethral valves. This procedure preserves all functional renal parenchyma and the ureteropelvic junction is left undisturbed. This is the first description of such a procedure for the treatment of lower polar pyelocaliceal diverticulum.
