[Endoscopic treatment of complicated ureteroceles in adults. Apropos of 2 cases].
Usually diagnosed in childhood, ureterocele is a congenital malformation which is often revealed in adults because of a complication. Renal colic and dysuria were the clinical symptoms that led to discovery in the two patients reported here. These two women (aged 80 and 32 years) underwent transurethral meatotomy for complicated ureterocele. This procedure was sufficient for cure, with spontaneous evacuation of all stones in patient 2. There were no clinical or bacteriological (urine analyses) signs of reflux during the follow-up period (24 and 12 months). Endoscopic treatment of adult complicated ureterocele can thus be proposed as a first line procedure. Development of symptomatic secondary reflux is an indication for surgery.
