title: [Treatment of ureterocele in the adult].
abstract: Review of 18 cases of ureterocele in the adult. The first clinical symptoms are unspecific, with a long-term evolution, and were found while carrying out routine urological examinations. The association to secondary lithiasis in over 60% cases and the presence of complete duplicity in 44% cases is highlighted. The choice treatment is by endoscopy in the simple cases without hydronephrosis or associated reflux. The technique of transversal incision in 'smiling mouth' at the base of the ureterocele produces good results.
