[Orthotopic bilateral ureterocele].
OBJECTIVE
To describe two additional cases of bilateral orthotopic ureterocele and review the literature.


RESULTS
Both patients, a 70-year-old male and a 56 year-old female, were diagnosed by IVP. Treatment was by a bilateral transverse "smile" incision, which achieved good functional results. However, one of the patients with a calculus inside both ureteroceles developed unilateral grade II-III vesico-ureteral reflux.


CONCLUSIONS
Despite the risk of developing vesicoureteral reflux, the transurethral transverse incision is a good method of treatment in symptomatic bilateral orthotopic ureterocele.
