Description
AIM: To establish whether ureteric length correlates with an individual's height. METHOD: A prospective study was performed involving 25 patients. The height of each participant was determined, and also actual ureteric length by direct measurement using a ureteric catheter. Simple regression analyses were carried out, using a p value of 0.05 as the level of significance. RESULTS: Height did not correlate with the actual ureteric length (p=0.54). CONCLUSION: Height does not predict obstructed ureteric length
