Abstract
1. Hydronephrosis developed in more than a third of paraplegic patients kept under review for a number of years.
2. It is a serious complication if progressive and threatening renal function.
3. Modern methods applied during the period immediately after the injury may diminish the subsequent incidence of hydronephrosis.
4. Hydronephrosis is frequently eliminated if efficient bladder voiding is achieved by means of resection of the bladder-neck or division of the external sphincter (Cosbie Ross, Damanski & Gibbon, 1957).
