Report of laparoscopic ureteropyelostomy for symptomatic "yo-yo" reflux in an adult.
Symptomatic presentation of partial duplication of the ureter in adults is rare. However, there are reports of such conditions being treated with surgical correction with varying degrees of success. We present the case of a 23-year-old woman who underwent what is, to our knowledge, the first reported laparoscopic ureteropyelostomy for symptomatic "yo-yo" reflux.
