ABSTRACT
Urethral duplication is a rare congenital anomaly. It may be complete or partial, and each form has its distinctive anatomy, symptom complex, and surgical therapy. Surgical management, utilizing a penile retropubic-transvesical approach, is described.

We report on 2 siblings with simple ureteroceles. A simple ureterocele associated with a single ureter is encountered less frequently than an ectopic ureterocele in children. The severity of associated ureterectasis and hydronephrosis is generally greater than in adults.

A fibrous polyp of the verumontanum in a 10-year-old boy is described. The diagnosis, treatment and histology are discussed and the literature is reviewed. Perhaps this lesion will be noted more frequently with the availability of improved radiographic and cystoscopic techniques. The treatment has been greatly simplified with the advent of the pediatric resectoscope.

Three unusual cases of hydronephrosis in children secondary to ureteral lesions, (1) congenital abnormality and (2) due to benign tumor, are presented. The radiographic findings and management are discussed. Conservative surgical management is suitable for these lesions.
