[Surgery of ureterocele with lithiasis].
We present 7 cases of ureterocele with secondary lithiasis, which constitute 15% of all our cases of ureterocele. From the clinical point of view, the symptoms are not different from those of these two separate pathologies. Nephroureteral colics associated with a low ureteral syndrome were the most frequent cause of the patients' visiting the doctor. Obstruction of the vesical neck is characteristic of ectopic or large ureteroceles. The diagnostic is radiographic and endoscopic. The results of the surgical treatment are much more superior with the transvesical approach followed by antireflux plastia to the transureteral approach, in which postoperative reflux is common, although it is usually well tolerated by adult patients.
