Permanent urinary diversion has been the standard recommended treatment of massive dilatation of the upper tracts in the child with neurogenic vesical dysfunction. Reimplantation of relatively normal caliber ureters into neurogenic bladders has been shown to be effective. However, attempts to save urinary diversion in 39 neurogenic megaureters have been unrewarding, with the salvage rate of 15 per cent, and 64 per cent have been diverted permanently. Upper tract decompression by continuous or intermittent catheterization, nephrostomy or end cutaneous ureterostomy was used in this series. When ureteral caliber responded to decompression a reasonable success rate from non-tailored reimplantation may be anticipated. However, in those instances in which ureteral caliber failed to respond or when tailoring or ureteral caliber was done in conjunction with reconstruction the success rate was much lower.
