PURPOSE:: The purpose of the study was to evaluate outcomes of non-operative management of primary non-refluxing megaureter (PM) at long-term follow-up, and to identify clinical predictors of spontaneous resolution. METHODS: Among 74 patients (88 PMs) diagnosed between 1990-2005, 63 patients (74 PMs) were included in this main study population, observed >6 months followed. Indications for surgery were obstructive hydroureteronephrosis, functional impairment or persistent symptoms. RESULTS: Twenty of 74 PMs (27%) required surgery up to 7 years after presentation. Surgery was not indicated in 82% PMs with grade
