Long-term Followup of Pediatric Dismembered Pyeloplasty: How Long is Long Enough?

Abstract

Recurrent ureteropelvic junction obstruction is unlikely after unobstructed postoperative diuretic renogram and does not warrant long term followup. Ideal followup would extend to 2 years, covering the period when an initial symptom of recurrence is most likely to present and enabling baseline unobstructed renal ultrasound to be performed.
