OBJECTIVE: To assess the outcome of the @entity1901 ( @entity1901 ) after (hemi)nephrectomy with subtotal ureterectomy. @entity1 AND METHODS: The records of 89 @entity1 (median age 2.7 years, range 0.25-12) who underwent nephrectomy (24) or heminephrectomy (65) with subtotal ureterectomy between 1982 and 1996 were reviewed retrospectively for symptoms caused by the @entity1901 . The mean follow-up was 9.8 years. Nephrectomy was undertaken for a poorly functioning @entity6349 (in nine), scarred (in 10) or hydronephrotic (in five) kidney, and heminephrectomy for a poorly functioning upper moiety associated with ectopic ureterocele (in 26) or stenotic hydroureter (in 15), or for a poorly functioning lower moiety associated with reflux (in 24). There were 38 refluxing and 51 non-refluxing ureteric @entity9 . Two additional @entity1 primarily operated elsewhere were referred with @entity1901 symptoms. RESULTS: Only one @entity1 had a symptomatic @entity1901 , with recurrent haematuria and @entity793 . The two @entity1 referred from elsewhere presented with febrile UTIs. The first had been left with a long refluxing stump opening ectopically into the urethra, and the second with a long stump which was converted from nonrefluxing to a refluxing stump when he developed @entity409 . Surgical excision of the distal stump was curative in each case. CONCLUSIONS: The risk of a symptomatic @entity1901 in @entity1 who undergo subtotal ureterectomy in conjunction with (hemi)nephrectomy is very low, with no difference between refluxing and nonrefluxing @entity9 . Long @entity1901 may cause symptoms. Because of the low morbidity associated with a short ureteric stump, we recommend subtotal ureterectomy in @entity1 who undergo (hemi)nephrectomy for reflux, vesico-ureteric @entity3885 or ectopic ureterocele associated with a poorly functioning kidney or kidney moiety.
