[Pediatric ureteral ectopia: Solutions for several issues.].

OBJECTIVE

The treatment of the ectopic ureter in the pediatric patient must be individualized in each caseMETHOD: Description of clinical cases, therapeutic management and evolution of patients.

RESULTS

We present four pediatric patients with ectopic ureters who underwent surgery. We describe a case of laparoscopic nephroureterectomy, one of laparoscopic uretero-ureterostomy, one of bilateral ureteral reimplantation and another of unilateral reimplantation. The discussion about the diagnosis and different surgical treatments of each case is deepened.

CONCLUSIONS

We present four cases of pediatric patients with ectopic ureters, treated by different surgeries. We present how was the preoperative diagnosis and the importance of individualizing the surgical treatment in eachc ase. Aspects recently described in the context of ureteralectopy, such as diagnostic evaluation by MRI or the role of minimally invasive techniques in treatment, should be taken into account in its management.
