My son 12 is sceduled for surgery to repair is megaureter. He has a blockage and the urologist says his ureter is very large. I have read that extravesical detrusorraphy is the best surgery method to repair this. Can anyone give any comment on this. The doctor seems qualified but I would like more answers before the surgery. Also, should my son take antibiotics before or after surgery to keep infections at bay? I am comforted in reading that the success rate is 95% and I know my son will be fine. I just want all questions answered in my mind before that day.
Thank you for any information you can provide regarding this.
