Prolapsed ureterocele after upper pole heminephrectomy.
Prolapse of a ureterocele through the external meatus is uncommon, and a prolapsed ureterocele occurring after upper pole heminephrectomy is extremely rare. We describe such a case, occurring 2 months after surgery. The ureterocele was excised with the upper pole ureteral stump, and the lower pole ureter was reimplanted with a good outcome.
