Renal Hemodynamic Changes and Postsurgical Recovery in Children Treated for Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction

Conclusions Peak systolic velocity and RI were correlated with renal function and renal parenchymal thickness but were not correlated with dilatation of the renal pelvis. Peak systolic velocity increased whereas RI decreased after surgery and were stable at 8 weeks, but remained abnormal 16 weeks after surgery. Hemodynamic measurements may be a useful and convenient method to evaluate surgical outcomes after Anderson–Hynes pyeloplasty.
