Abstract
- Ureterocystoplasty is a known useful method for the management of selected cases with dilated ureters, high pressure and poorly compliant bladders. It precludes the potential complications of enterocystoplasty. In two cases of posterior urethral valve with urinary incontinence, bilateral dilated ureters, and poorly compliant bladders, we performed ureterocystoplasties using dilated lower end of the ureter after transuretero-ureterostomy and ureteral reimplantation. Both patients were almost continent day and night. The bladder capacities and compliances were improved. There was no deterioration of renal functions. In conclusion, we suggest that the ureterocystoplasty using dilated distal ureter after transureteroureterostomy is an appropriate procedure in selected cases of posterior urethral valve.
