Ipsilateral ureteroureterostomy combined with ureteral reimplantation for treatment of disease in both ureters in a child with complete ureteral duplication.
Recurrent urinary tract infection was seen in a 3-year-old girl with a ureterocele at the lower end of the upper segment ureter and reflux into the lower segment ureter of a duplicated kidney on the left side. We combined ipsilateral ureteroureterostomy (end-to-side anastomosis) with reimplantation of the host, single ureter into the bladder distal to the anastomosis to reduce dilatation, correct the reflux and keep the patient free of infection without medication.
