— Ureterocele is a cystic dilatation of the ureter, often associated with urinary tract infection and vesico-ureteral reflux. Treatment should aim at preserving renal function. Eight patients with ureterocele were included in this study. Three of them underwent surgery hemiureteronephrectomy with ureterocystoneostomy was performed in two, while a supernumerary blind-ending ureter in the third was resected and the complementary ureter reimplanted. Endoscopic incision of the ureterocele was carried out in five patients, of whom four were children. Endoscopic incision was possible in all patients and hospital stay was considerably shortened. In two cases endoscopic incision was followed by UCNS of both ureters Our results agree with data reported in recent literature (93% successful endoscopic procedures).
