ABSTRACT
Ureterocele, congenital dilatation of the terminal or intramural portion of the ureter, may be classified as either simple or ectopic and has a broad spectrum of presentation, anatomy and treatment must be individualized. From February, 1986 to March, 1994, our experiences with 8 single system ureteroceles and 12 duplex system ureteroceles were reviewed. Their presentation, radiographic findings, operative management and postoperative results were discussed. The patients in this series were distribution from 1 year old to 66 years old and the male and female ratio was 416. The most presenting symptom was flank pain, affecting 7 cases, and ureterocele was associated with ureteral stone 7 cases, VUR 2 cases, renal cyst 1 case, and IgA nephropathy1 case. In 8 cases of single system ureterocele, Transurethral incision(TUI) of ureterocele in 1 case, ureterocelectomy with ureteroneocystostomy in 3 cases were done. In 12 cases of duplex system ureterocele, TUI of ureterocele in 2 cases, heminephrectomy with partial ureterocelectomy in 2 cases were done. After operation was done, there was no evidence of complication. We conclude that the surgical approach to the problems associated with a ureterocele is modified by patient age, renal anomaly and the pathological condition of the lower urinary tract.
