Urine flow rate was checked again after urinary tract dilation for 3 months. Results All the 36 patients were successfully operated,without serious complications,Qmax was 13. 2 ~ 29. 8 mL / s,the average was( 17. 6 ± 3. 2) mL / s postoperative 3 ~ 4 weeks of catheter removal. Qmax was 15. 1 ~ 32. 7 mL / s after 3 months,the average was( 21. 6 ± 3. 9) mL / s. The patients were followed up for 3 ~ 16 months,and with good urination.
