The availability of extended-length, small-caliber endoscopes allows the use of many cystoscopic techniques in the ureter and renal pelvis. Although the instruments are rigid, they can be passed transurethrally in both male and female patients to allow the urologist to diagnose and treat many lesions of the upper urinary tract. The success of our series demonstrates the utility and safety of the technique, which often eliminates the need for surgical exposure of the lesions.

This review documents the success that we have experienced in treating most ureteroceles that present in children by heminephroureterectomy. If excision of the ureterocele is required, or reimplantation of a ureter other than the ureter obstructed by the ureterocele, this is deferred until the degree of hydronephrosis is reduced or bladder thickening and trabeculation have returned toward normal. In instances where there is function in the upper pole segment obstructed by the ureterocele, ureteropyelostomy has enabled us to preserve renal function by removing the obstructed ureter to permit the ureterocele to collapse.
