“…In these instances, the ureteral bud, because of its abnormal cephalic position on the mesonephric duct, may fail to meet the mesonephric blastema properly and normal nephrogenesis is not induced 14 15. Fernandes and Gonzalez16 showed that most of the reported cases of non-duplicated ectopic ureterocele (34 of 36) in English literature were associated with ipsilateral non-functioning kidney. Johnson and Perlmutter6 reported a very high incidence of associated congenital anomalies in single system ectopic ureterocele.…”

“…The single system ectopic ureter is a rare condition which is usually associated with non-functioning dysplastic kidney 2 3. Unlike duplicated system ectopic ureter/ureterocele, a single system ectopic ureter or ureterocoele is very rare in women and has a strong risk of additional congenital cardiac and urogenital anomalies4–6 and usually managed by nephroureterectomy of ipsilateral dysplastic kidney 1.…”

Normal functioning single system ectopic ureter draining into a Gartner’s cyst: laparoscopic management

Association of single system ectopic ureter with normal functioning bilateral kidney and absence of congenital anomalies is very rarely reported in the literature. We are reporting for the first time a case of this type of anomaly in which uretral ectopia was draining into a Gartner's cyst and was managed by laparoscopy. A 16 year girl presented with normal voiding with continuous dribbling since birth. Voiding cystourethrogram, intravenous urogram, cystovaginoscopy and retrograde contrast study confirmed the diagnosis. Ultrasound of the whole abdomen and physical examination ruled out any associated congenital anomalies. Transperitoneal laparoscopic ureteric reimplantation was performed and distal stump was ligated. On follow-up at 3 months she was completely dry; her vaginoscopy showed disappearance of cystic bulge and her voiding cystourethrogram showed normal study without any reflux. When single system ectopic ureter opens into small-to-moderate size wide opened mouth vaginal Gartner's cyst, laparoscopic ureteric reimplantation and ligation of distal stump is an appropriate procedure.
