title: A technique for ureteral stump ablation.
abstract: A total of 5 children underwent successful electrofulguration of a distal ectopic ureteral stump with reflux. Electrofulguration was performed endoscopically in 4 girls and in 1 boy the stump was ablated during an open operation. The procedure, which is simple and safe, obviates the potential nidus for recurrent infection.
