Complications of this surgery are the common wound infection, rupture, and leakage of urine from the junction where the pelvis and ureter have been newly joined. The child will have tubes across the anastomosis to prevent this and can be removed later. The hospital stay will be about 8 days only. A renal DTPA Scan must be done after a year to know the difference caused by the surgery and must be repeated every year to confirm betterment of function.
