Iatrogenic ureteral injuries are a dramatic complication in medical practice. Nowadays there are no universal guidelines for their management. The aim of our study was to evaluate the feasibility of the percutaneous treatment in restoring ureteral integrity in 19 patients that came to our attention.

Purpose: To review the utility of antegrade pyelography in detecting crossing vessels as the cause of uretero-pelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction prior to planned endopyelotomy.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective review of the medical records, surgical reports, and medical images was performed in 109 consecutive adult patients in our practice who underwent antegrade pyelography just prior to planned endopyelotomy for symptomatic UPJ obstruction between January 1996 and December 2002.
Results: Fourteen patients were identified in whom a specific antegrade pyelographic appearance was detected in the diagnosis UPJ obstruction caused by crossing vessels.

Ten patients having a uretero-ileocecoproctostomy (ileocecorectal bladder) were evaluated by 99mtechnetium diethylenetriaminepantaacetic acid renoscintigraphy, which was repeated at an approximately 1 year interval in 7 patients. The computed total glomerular filtration rates at the 1st and 2nd surveys were 100 +/- 23.2 and 92.

A clinical study was designed to determine whether the lower solute load after intravenous injection of nonionic contrast medium (CM) produced significant changes in nephrographic and pyelographic quality. For equal iodine doses (300 mg I/kg), the lower solute load of nonionic CM produced better nephrogram and pyelogram scores than ionic CM or nonionic CM with mannitol, both of which had higher solute loads. The higher scores associated with nonionic CM were statistically significant for the pyelogram phase but not for the nephrogram phase.
