Overview
The author describes a new pyeloureteral junction treatment technique which combines easiness and lower invasiveness of percutaneous surgery with actual reconstruction in laparoscopic surgery, and avoids secondary healing only. Highly positive experimental results have been confirmed in clinical series.
