[Endoscopic treatment of ureterocele. The value of antireflux injection of teflon paste].
On the basis of 5 cases, the author show the possibilities of treating certain ureteroceles via an endoscopic approach only with incision of the ureterocele and elimination of the reflux thus created by an injection of teflon paste under the gaping ureterocele. The best indication for this method is an orthotopic ureterocele affecting a non-double ureter, i.e. the ureterocele usually seen in the adult. Orthotopic ureterocele in the presence of double ureter/kidney also seems suitable for treatment in this way. In contrast, ectopic ureteroceles are probably the least suitable indication.
