Vesicoscopic Leadbetter-Politano Ureteral Reimplantation of Primary Obstructive Megaureters in Children Compared to Open Surgery

The vesicoscopic Leadbetter-Politano procedure proves to be feasible in reimplantation of primary obstructive megaureter, even in very young infants. Reduced need for pain medication, shorter bladder drainage, and faster mobilization, and thus shorter hospital stay, show that this method offers major advantages to patients at an equivalent success rate compared to its open counterparts.
