Single ectopic ureter

Abstract

Objectives We retrospectively analyzed diagnosis and treatment of 5 cases congenital single ectopic ureter. Methods Five girls suffered from constant urinary dribbling accompanied by regular voiding with congenital single ectopic ureter. B ultrasound ,large doses Intravenous pyelography and enhanced CT were performed to 3 cases before 2005 years. B ultrasound and enhanced spiral CT three-dimensional reconstruction were performed to 2 cases after 2005 years. All patients were operated, 4 cases with dysplasia kidney were undertaked the nephrectomy and ureterectomy. one case was undertaked ureter anastomosis. Results All patients were outpatiented with good postoperativ(e) outcome. the urine leakage disappeared. 2 cases with ureter anastomosis was followed up for 1 year and 3 years , the degree of hydronephrosis is reduced obviously. Conclusions Single ectopic ureter is rare, enhanced spiral CT three-dimensional reconstruction can show the shape ,size and location of kidney distinctly, also reveal the travels of ureter. The operative treatment of ectopic ureter orifice with urine leakage could attain satisfactory therapeutic results. Key words: Ureter
