title: Urinary incontinence due to duplication of ureter--a case report.
abstract: A seventeen years old female student from Nakla, Sherpur was admitted in the surgical unit I of Mymensingh Medical College Hospital (MMCH) on 28th October 2000 with the one and only complain of continuous dribbling of urine since her birth. Besides her urinary incontinence she used to have urge for micturition and normal voiding pattern as well. She has a good physique but a very depressed mental state. IVU suggested about the duplication of the right ureter but not clearly. Voiding cystourethrogram excluded any degree of vesicoureteral reflux. During examination under anesthesia (EUA) a tiny orifice was noted in the urethro-vaginal septum just below the external urethral orifice through the orifice delineated whole of the ecotopic ureter. Right heminephrectomy was done including excision of the pelvis and proximal part of the upper ureter that was draining directly to the exterior. Postoperative recovery was uneventful and the patient got rid of the ever-disgusting problem.
