| Summary: | One hundred patients with benign disease of the upper urinary tract were operated on: 50 through the standard flank approach and 50 through the dorsal approach. The analgesic requirement for control of postoperative pain was less for patients operated on through the dorsal incision, and these patients had a shorter postoperative ileus and a hospital stay an average of 4.29 days less than those operated on through the flank approach. The dorsal lumbotomy incision is recommended for certain operations on the kidney and proximal ureter. |
