Abstract: | Three male patients with single eetopic ureters, opening into the ejaculatory duct, seminal vesicle, or prostatic urethra, are presented; in each the associated kidney was dysplastic. This diagnosis should be considered when a male patient presents with recurrent urinary tract infections, epididymitis, painful defecation, or vague, lower abdominal pain, associated with radiographic findings of a nonvisualized kidney and an extrinsic bladder defect. The surgical procedure of choice is nephroureterectomy, with excision of the structure receiving the ectopic ureter. |
