Abstract
The post-surgical effects of ureterostomy and nephrostomy were compared, and the following results were obtained: (1) reduction of renal function was greater after ureterostomy than after nephrostomy and (2) pyelonephritis occurred more frequently following ureterostomy than nephrostomy. In addition, electoureterography and urometrography were conducted in 10 cases following ureterostomy. One case of them showed normal ureteral peristalsis, 4 cases showed irregular peristalsis, and in the remaining 5 cases peristalsis failed to occur.
