[Pyeloureteral duplications in the adult: diagnostic means and therapeutic indications. Apropos of 20 cases].
Complicated pyelo-ureteral duplication in the adult may be revealed by recurrent pyelonephritis or urinary leakage. The diagnosis can be performed by combined urography and ultrasound scan. The management is rarely conservative. In most cases, it consists in hemonephrectomy. The ureterectomy is partial, extending up to the pelvic brim in the case of a fine ureter. If the ureter is dilated, however, the ureterectomy must be subtotal, in order to avoid postoperative infectious recurrence.
