Abstract
A personal experience in the management of 73 ureterocele cases during the last 17 years and points of technical importance in the correction of this sometimes complex problem are described. Small adult-type ureteroceles are best resected, reimplanting the ureter, since simple unroofing can cause reflux. The infant-type ureterocele with a duplex collecting system requires individualization according to the status of the patient. In ectopic ureterocele cases the bladder outlet often requires repair. The spectrum of management for this group of problems is shown by representative cases.
