Ureterocele

In conclusion, the diagnosis and management of the ureterocele, simple or ectopic, require careful and thorough preoperative evaluation, culminating in a carefully planned and precisely done operative procedure. An error of omission can be a catastrophe. The choice of surgical approach is controversial but should be one with few potential complications. An awareness and understanding of the potential complications of ureterocele surgery are mandatory and should aid in their prevention. To avoid postoperative complications related to the retained ureteral stump, for ectopic ureteroceles I prefer removal of the entire dilated upper-pole ureter and ureterocele regardless of the manner in which the upper-pole parenchyma is managed. As noted, infants and small children with large ectopic ureteroceles may be approached entirely extravesically, excising the dilated ectopic ureter to the detrusor hiatus.     

Stenotic Ureterocele

The incidence, clinical and radiological features and histopathology of the structure of stenotic ureteroceles are described, together with the correlation of muscle content with function and its significance in the choice of treatment.

The prevalence of calcified upper urinary tract stone disease in a random population--Cumbernauld Health Survey

It is difficult to obtain the true prevalence of stone disease in community. A proper random sample of a population has been studied and a figure of 3.83% of calcified stones have been found in 2,000 subjects. The significance of biochemical, bacteriological, skeletal and other surgical abnormalities is discussed. It is now possible to study individual groups within the population with respect to stone disease.
