[Obstructive anuria (author's transl)].

In the last 10 years we observed 75 cases of obstructive anuria: 60% during the course of pelvic cancer; 27% took place on a remaining kidney; 26% were due to kidney stones, usually uric acid stones; 3 cases were secondary to remaining kidney hydronephrosis. Diagnosis was facilitated by high dose, late film IVP and by descending uteropyelograms, one of the most reliable diagnostic techniques in trigonal obstruction. Hemodialysis was used in 10% of the cases. Early surgical treatment was often made possible by the use of spinal anesthesia.
