ABSTRACT
The objective of this study was to ascertain the most advantageous time during an intravenous urogram to apply external ureteric compression to gain the greatest calyceal distension. This was a prospective randomized trial of 60 patients, divided into three equal groups with compression applied immediately after injection, at 5 minutes and after the 5 minutes film had been viewed. Patients with the usual criteria for avoiding compression were excluded. A statistically significant improvement in calyceal distension occurred when compression was applied at 5 minutes compared with that applied after the 5 minute film had been viewed. No improvement was seen when the compression was applied immediately after injection. We recommend that external ureteric compression should be applied immediately after the 5 minute film.
