Summary:134 newborns and young infants were investigated by ultrasound because of pelviureteric junction obstruction. Operation has been performed in 47 babies, 87 patients were followed nonoperatively. The results of the ultrasound studies were elaborated in 35 patients in 6 and 12 months postoperatively. One year after surgery pyelectasy decreased in 77 percent of the cases, the size of the renal parenchyma was normal or increased in the 91 percent of the cases. The postoperative mild dilatation of the pelvis is often observed without any sign of obstruction.
