Management of obstructing ectopic ureteroceles

Abstract

Ectopic ureteroceles are a common pediatric urologic problem requiring thoughtful management decisions. Although management algorithms have been proposed, they should serve only as a framework for therapy. More important is a thorough understanding of the problem and its implications. The authors discuss their management approach and provide several cases illustrating the spectrum of problems presented by ectopic ureteroceles and the variety of management options.
