| Abstract | ||
| A five -year old boy, presented with pain on the left side of the abdomen. An ultrasound examination of the abdomen revealed a hydronephrotic left kidney with a dilated left upper ureter. The right kidney was normal. Intravenous pyelography revealed a hydronephrotic left kidney, with the ureter dilated and hold up of the dye at the level of L3-L4 intervertebral space [Figure - 1]. A pre-operative diagnosis of upper-ureteral obstruction was made. Intra-operatively, an abrupt change from dilated to normal ureter was found which was opened longitudinally to see the annular (single pleat ) valve which was resected, and ureteral anastomosis was done with a double J stent left in situ and Foley’s catheter left to ensure free drain of urine outside the body. A tube drain left near the anastomosis site. The patient had a smooth post operative period and discharged home with very well condition. Three weeks later the double J stent removed under general anesthesia. | ||
