[The surgical treatment of congenital hydronephrosis in children].

Available are the results of surgical treatment (Andersen-Hynes operation and its modifications) of 85 children with hydronephrosis bor the period 1981-1987. The patients' age ranged from 6 months to 14 years. Anastomotic stenosis occurred in 12% of the procedures as a result of: urethral or pelvic trauma when suturing, wound channels due to the needle perforating puncture, catgut unwanted properties, tissue strain at the anastomosis site, inadequate renal drain.

[Formation of a urinary reservoir from a small intestinal graft in children with exstrophy of the urinary bladder].

The authors suggest a new approach to the treatment of patients with exstrophy of the urinary bladder-the formation of an urinary reservoir from a detubulerized intestinal graft after II Kocks' method. This method, as well as its analogues, is mainly used in adults after radical cystectomy. Improved surgical techniques have been suggested on the basis of experimental works which allow the age features and the peculiarities of the functional condition of the formed reservoir to be taken into account.
