Abstract

An ectopic ureter is a significant urinary tract malformation often treated during early childhood and is surgically managed based on its condition. Generally, only extravesical ureteral reimplantation is available as a treatment option for an ectopic ureter with well-preserved renal function. This report describes a case of a 28-months-old girl with an ectopic ureter in a single system who experienced repeated febrile urinary tract infections, successfully treated using a transvesicoscopic ureteral reimplantation as a minimally invasive treatment. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of transvesicoscopic ureteral reimplantation for an ectopic ureter in a single system.<br /> (Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Inc.
