The half-loop transurethral incision technique for bilateral ureterocele in adult

摘要

Ureteroceles are divided into intravesical and extravesical ureteroceles. Only 20 cases of bilateral ureterocele in adult male patients have been reported in the literature. Intravesical ureteroceles can be cured by endoscopic surgery.1, 2, 3 An incision is made to reduce hydronephrosis, improve the renal function, reduce the risk of urinary tract infection, and prevent vesicoureteral reflux (VUR).4 The endoscopic treatments of ureteroceles vary; however, the standard procedure is incision using a transurethral resection device. We herein report an adult case of bilateral ureterocele that was successfully treated by a half-loop transurethral resection technique.
