Plastic surgery in hydronephrosis (Indications and follow-up. Isotope nephrographic studies).

Surgical interventions for the reconstruction of the renal pelvis were performed in 108 cases between 1962 and 1974. On follow-up, 3 to 6 months after operation the results were found good or satisfactory in 54 cases (50%). Isotope nephrography revealed a good or satisfactory fall of the curve in the excretion phase in 49 out of the 54 cases (94%), distinct retention curves having been found in the remaining 6%. In 35% of these cases isotope nephrography showed a far more complete urinary drainage than it had been assumed on the ground of radiography. In 63% of the cases the results of the two diagnostic methods were congruent.

Scintigraphical examinations in kidney trauma.

Thirty-three patients with acute renal trauma and 9 others sent to us for a specialist's opinion were examined radiologically and scintigraphically in the years 1971-1973. Scintigraphy proved to be an important complementary examination to the radiological procedures for the estimation of the impaired functional status of the damaged kidney. In half of the cases X-ray alone did not yield an exact assessment of the extent of the damage to the kidney as did the combination with scintigraphy and under some circumstances with isotope nephrography. Sometimes the X-ray picture allowed an under- or overestimation of the renal damage. Both radiological procedures are without risk and simple to carry out. In some instances this nuclear-medical complemntary examination can more exactly answer the question whether kidney trauma is involved.
