Ureterocele
A ureterocele is a congenital cystic dilation of the distal ureter as it enters the bladder, which can cause urinary obstruction, infections, and kidney damage.
Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies such as ultrasound, intravenous urography, or CT scan. Treatment aims to relieve obstruction, prevent infection, and preserve kidney function, often requiring minimally invasive surgical intervention.
Symptoms and Clinical Presentation
Symptoms may include urinary tract infections, difficulty urinating, hematuria, and recurrent kidney infections. Some cases may remain asymptomatic and are detected incidentally during imaging.
Diagnosis and Investigations
Ultrasound, intravenous urography, and CT or MRI are commonly used to visualize the ureterocele and assess its effect on kidney function.
Treatment Approaches
- Endoscopic incision: Minimally invasive technique to relieve obstruction.
- Surgical reconstruction: Reimplantation of ureter in severe or complex cases.
- Antibiotic prophylaxis may be used to prevent recurrent infections.
