The cause of incontinence in an ectopic ureter is insertion of the ureter distal to the internal urethral sphincter. The authors describe a case report of an ectopic ureter arising from a duplex moiety with poor renal function using multiple modalities. This highlights the utility of multiple ...
The duplex kidney system is a rare congenital anomaly associated with accompanying problems that can threaten kidney function. A 50-year-old woman presented to our clinic with recurrent right flank pain of one year duration. Physical examination revealed right loin fullness with a ballotable right ...

Dear Editor, We would like to share our experience on the safety and efficacy of the laparoscopic transperitoneal uretero-ureteric anastomosis for duplex kidneys. A duplex kidney is the most common congenital renal anomaly. It is due to the development of two ureteric buds which induce the ...
KIDNEY diseasesTREATMENT effectivenessLAPAROSCOPYCOMPUTED tomographyAlthough duplication of the collecting system is fairly common, ureteropelvic junction obstruction of the upper moiety in a patient with duplex system is rare, more so if the obstruction is extrinsic and vascular. Herein,...
Adult ureterocele is usually seen in single system and poses a diagnostic challenge due to its rarity. We present a 24- year adult male with right complete duplex system with upper moiety obstructing ureterocele managed with trans ureteral incision....
Conclusion Laparoscopic upper-pole heminephrectomy showed to be a feasible and safe procedure. In most patients this surgery will be the definitive procedure. Patients with both VUR and ureterocele will need special consideration. No significant loss of function in the remaining lower moiety was ...

She went on to have an ultrasound scan, dimercaptosuccinic acid and magnetic resonance urogram, which identified a grossly-dilated fluid-filled structure in proximity of the left kidney, but failed to demonstrate the small non-functioning left upper moiety. A computed tomography urogram was more ...
At times the obstructive cause is obvious, e.g., duplex kidney with upper moiety dilatation due to a ureterocele or upper tract dilatation due to posterior urethral valves. However, the commonest abnormality found is unilateral renal pelvic dilatation (RPD), commonly termed ureteropelvic junction...
