Summary— Pelviureteric obstruction was treated by dilatation with a Fogarty balloon catheter in 2 children. The catheter was introduced through the cystoscope without any percutaneous procedure, ureteric stents or drainage. Follow‐up for 18 months indicated improved drainage and renal function. The merits and demerits of this technique are discussed.
