summary

The valvula of the back urethra was removed in 20 boys by means of a bal­loon of the Foley catheter. In 13 newborns and babies the operation was fully successful, and Control miction cystourethrography showed in each of them total regression of symptoms of an obstacle below the bladder. The method applied to older boys was less effective. No post-operative complications have been obser-ved.
