Abstract

Background: Surgical management of the obstructed ectopic ureter is one of the most difficult problems, particular in neonates and infants. The bladder-level definitive repair has technical limitations during infancy because of the size discrepancy between the ureter and the bladder.

Case Presentation: We report our experience of side-to-side refluxing ureteroneocystotomy (SSRUC) as a temporary procedure for an infant with refluxing and obstructed ectopic ureter associated with a duplex system.

Conclusion: SSRUC relieved obstruction and controlled febrile UTI successfully while waiting for maturation of the bladder required for the bladder-level definitive repair.
