“…The diagnosis of an ectopic ureter is mainly radiological, including ultrasound (US), IVR, MCUG, and others [ 9 , 10 ]. The US and MCUG are the standard imaging modalities used to diagnose ectopic ureter [ 9 ]. The US is the ideal initial modality used to detect urinary tract abnormalities, noninvasive, without radiation exposure, and provides a great anatomical image of the urinary tract.…”

“…In order to identify the location of the perivesical segment of the ureter, one may use a needle inserted to the bladder through a cystoscope and make a puncture toward the ureter through the bladder wall (14) . Contrast medium administration through the needle under fluoroscopy guidance confirms its proper location.…”

TRUS-guided drainage of the ectopic ureter entering the prostatic urethra and TRUS-guided transurethral neo-orifice formation using holmium laser

A fifty-nine year-old male was hospitalized for exacerbation of chronic pancreatitis. As a gigantic cyst of the pancreatic tail was identified, it was fused with the jejunal loop. Due to persistent fever and severe symptoms in the storage and voiding phases, the patient was referred to a urologist. Because transrectal ultrasound examination revealed a fluid collection resembling the left seminal vesicle filled with purulent material, a transrectal puncture procedure was performed. The analysis of computed tomography scans led to the diagnosis of duplicated collecting system of the left kidney with the enormous ureter of the upper moiety that entered the prostate gland. In order to permanently decompress the hydronephrosed upper moiety of the left kidney, the patient was deemed eligible for endoscopic treatment. A transurethral incision through the bladder wall and the adjacent segment of the ectopic ureter was made with holmium laser under transrectal ultrasonography guidance, thus creating a neo-orifice of this ureter.

Application of magnetic resonance imaging and minimally invasive techniques have led to changes in the diagnosis and treatment of ectopic upper pole ureters. Recent studies have highlighted the safety of laparoscopic and robot-assisted upper pole heminephrectomy and ureteroureterostomy. Minimally invasive approaches to ectopic upper pole ureters appear safe and effective, with complication rates remaining low. Minimally invasive upper pole heminephrectomy carries a higher risk of lower pole function loss. Both upper pole heminephrectomy and ureteroureterostomy carry a small risk of additional surgery on the bladder and remnant ureter.
