The Management of Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction Presenting with Prenatal Hydronephrosis
The treatment of the newborn diagnosed with a ureteropelvic obstruction prenatally should follow a systematic approach. Although a majority of patients can be followed without surgical intervention, controversy exists concerning appropriate follow-up. Furthermore, a significant number of patients wi...
