Abstract

Hydronephrosis is reported to be an infrequent complication of aorto-femoral bypass operations. To define the true incidence of this complication, renography (131I-Hippuran) and renal scintigraphy (99 Technetium) were performed both pre- and postoperatively on 56 asymptomatic patients following successful aortic reconstruction. No patient developed signs of ureteral obstruction. It is concluded that hydronephrosis is a rare complication to aorto-femoral bypass surgery and postoperative control is only indicated in patients with symptoms from the urinary tract.
