腎杯憩室:11症例の臨床的検討

Abstract

From 1975 to 1979, there were 11 patients with pyelocaliceal diverticulum, 8 males and 3 females, out of 7009 newly visited outpatients, an incidence being 0.18%. In these 11 patients, about 80% had calculi in the diverticula. The average age was 38-year-old. The lesions were unilateral and single in all cases, right kidney 5 cases and left 6 cases. The diverticula had communication with the upper calyx in 7, the middle in 3 and the lower in one. The most frequent symptom was lumbar dull pain on the affected side (36%). Symptomatic four cases required surgical treatment such as partial nephrectomy in three cases and diverticulotomy in one. The postoperative courses were uneventful and the symptoms almost subsided.
