title: Surgical management of ectopic ureterocele.
abstract: Nine patients with ectopic ureterocele, complete duplication, and nonvisualization of the upper renal segment are presented. All were managed with heminephrectomy and partial ureterectomy only. The procedure immediately controlled urosepsis, and ultimately was successful in the management of associated reflux. Excision of ureterocele and reimplantation of the ipsilateral ureter was unnecessary.
