Abstract

In a 65-year-old woman with right-sided loin pain, ultrasonography revealed a grossly dilated and obstructed right pyelogram due to a 50-mm ureterocele. After transurethral lateral incision of the ureterocele, there was complete recovery without vesicoureteric reflux. Ultrasonography is advantageous in diagnosing acute urinary-tract obstruction, and transurethral incision is useful in the acute treatment of ureterocele.
Translated title of the contributionUltrasonic diagnosis and transurethral incision of ureterocele with hydronephrosis.
