Abstract
The first reconstructive procedure for ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction was performed by Trendelenburg in 1886. The important milestones in the reconstruction of UPJ are discussed and all available historical papers and reports since 1886 are reviewed. Kuster published the first successful dismembered pyeloplasty 5 years later, but his technique was prone to strictures. In 1892, the application of the Heineke-Mickulicz principle by Fenger resulted in bulking and kinking with obstruction. Plication of the renal pelvis, first introduced by Israel in 1896, was modified by Kelly in 1906. After the principle of the Finney pyloroplasty, von Lichtenberg designed his pyeloplasty in 1921, best suited to cases of high implantation of the ureter. Foley modified flap techniques, first introduced by Schwyzer in 1923 after the application of the Durante pyloroplasty principle, successfully to Y-V pyeloplasty in 1937. Culp and de-Weerd introduced the spiral flap in 1951. Scardino and Prince reported about the vertical flap in 1953. Patel published the extra-long spiral flap technique in 1982. In order to decrease the likelihood of stricture, Nesbit, in 1949, modified Kuster's procedure by utilizing an elliptic anastomosis. In the same year, Anderson and Hynes, published their technique. With the advent of endourology, several minimally invasive procedures were applied: antegrade or retrograde endopyelotomy, balloon dilation, and laparoscopic pyeloplasty. The concept of full-thickness incision of the narrow segment followed by prolonged stenting was first described in 1903 by Albarran and was popularized by Davis in 1943. Several basic principles must be applied in order to ensure successful repair: the resultant anastomosis should be widely patent, performed in a watertight fashion without tension. Endopyelotomy represents an alternative to open surgery.
