Laparoscopic treatment of bilateral duplex kidney and ectopic ureter: A case report.

BACKGROUND

Duplication of the renal pelvis is a common congenital malformation of the urinary system. About one-third of cases are complete unilateral duplication of the renal pelvis, while bilateral duplication is extremely rare. Herein, we described a single case of bilateral renal duplication with double ureteral orifice ectopic vaginal fistula treated with laparoscopy.

CASE SUMMARY: A 6-year-old girl suffering from long-term vaginal leakage was admitted on June 10, 2018. She was diagnosed with complete duplication of both kidneys and ureters and ectopic opening of both ureters combined with ureterovaginal fistula. The patient received laparoscopic ectopic ureteral bladder replantation and was followed up for 2 years. No renal function damage and vaginal leakage were found.

CONCLUSION

Laparoscopic bladder-ureter reimplantation could effectively determine the location and number of ectopic ureters by imaging and cystoscopy.
