Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction in the Newborn

Journal of Urology, 1984
Ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction is a common cause of hydronephrosis in infants. Newborns with severe obstruction often have marked improvement following correction; therefore early diagnosis and operation is important. From 1973 to 1983, 21 patients were operated on for UPJ obstruction diagnosed under 6 weeks of age.

To clarify the natural history of fetal UPJ obstruction, we reviewed our experience managing 28 fetuses; there were 16 bilateral cases for a total of 44 renal units. None required decompression before birth.
