Abstract
Abstract Hydronephrosis due to pelvi-ureteric obstruction rarely presents in the neonatal period. When it does, the disease is advanced and it may be advisable to drain the obstructed kidney until the child is old enough and fit enough to withstand a pyeloplasty. In this paper 2 cases of neonatal hydronephrosis are reported and a satisfactory method of drainage is described.
