Abstract
A material covering 25 years and comprising 52 patients with 56 surgically treated ureteroceles was followed up over periods varying from 3 to 27 years, the average being 12 years. The initial symptoms and treatment are described. Most of the patients were treated with transurethral diathermy incision of the ureteroceles. 10 patients had died before the follow-up and one could not be located. 73% of the remaining 41 patients had no complaints at follow-up and 71% of the patients treated with transurethral incision were symptomatically cured. Vesico-ureteric reflux was demonstrated in 9 patients, of whom 3 had pyelonephritic changes in the kidneys. The groups of patients treated with resection or excision of the ureteroceles were too small to allow significant conclusions.
