Abstract
- Duplication of the renal pelvis and ureter is the most common congenital anomaly of the upper urinary tract. The three most important abnormalities associated with duplicated kidney are vesicoureteral reflux, ectopic ureter and ureterocele. Herein we present three cases of unilateral, complete duplicated ureter in children associated with ectopic ureteral orifice, vesicoureteral reflux and ectopic ureterocele, respectively, with review of related literatures. They have suffered from urinary incontinence with normal voiding since birth, recurrent urinary tract infection and protruding mass from the urethral meatus on straining respectively. Two cases of them were treated with partial nephrectomy and ureterectomy, the third was performed partial nephrectomy, ureterectomy and ureterocelectomy.
