Report of a case of prolapse of the lower end of the ureter into the bladder. Observed in a 11 year-old boy with a history of recurrent urinary infection. The bladder deformity was seen as a non-opaque filling defect which possibly ressembles the shadow of a simple ureterocele. The child required resection of the prolapsed segment and ureteral reimplantation using the combined suprahiatal and infrahiatal routes.

14 cases of ureteric obstruction in patients with uterine prolapse are presented. The clinical, radiological, endoscopic and surgical observations are considered and discussed. Ureteric dilatation develops in two successive stages each of which has a different mechanism. In the first stage, stretching of the terminal ureter leads to a fusiform and gradual dilatation. In the second more advanced stage, caudal and posterior displacement of the trigone and bladder base leads to a rotation of the intramural ureter forming a sharp angle with the juxtavesical ureter, causing further ureteric obstruction. These observations emphasize the importance of urographical evaluation in patients with uterine prolapse.

Laparoscopic hysterectomy is a recent procedure. We present our preliminary results about 44 patients. In 77.3% of cases (34 patients) the operation was carried out completely by laparoscopy and 10 patients (22.7%) required conversion of the laparoscopy to a standard laparotomy. The indications for laparotomy were: hemostasis difficulties (6 cases); bladder injury (1 case); inability to expose the uterine pedicles and or the ureter (3 cases). Three post-operative complications occurred: one small bowel occlusion which was explored by laparoscopy, and two infection treated by antibiotics only. These preliminary results enable us: to affirm that laparoscopic hysterectomy is feasibility without an important risk of per and or post-operative complications. to specify the four situations in which laparoscopic surgery is particularly advantageous for hysterectomy: absence of genital prolapse; when uni or bilateral adnexectomy is required; previous past-history of abdomino-pelvic surgery, salpingitis, endometriosis ...; neoplastic pathologies (lymphadenectomy); to propose a laparoscopic hysterectomy classification.

We report three patients in whom hydronephrosis was diagnosed by ultrasonography in utero. In two fetuses, ureteroceles were detected prenatally and these proved to be the cause of obstruction. In the third, bilateral simple ureteroceles were discovered immediately after birth. In the last patient, failure to see ureteroceles in utero may have been related to the phenomenon of ureterocele eversion and prolapse into the ureter. Ultrasonographers should be aware of this prolapse phenomenon as a potential pitfall for both the in utero and postpartum diagnosis of ureterocele.

Ectopic ureteroceles frequently prolapse into the urethra. Inversion of ureteroceles into their own ureters has also been described. This patient showed a ureterocele which not only prolapsed into the urethra but also into the ipsilateral orthotopic ureter. We have not seen nor found a description of prolapse of a ureterocele into the ipsilateral orthotopic ureter.

From three observations, the authors analyse the ureteric dilatation and genital prolapse association from an anatomo-clinic point of view. The bladder-base displacement situated in the vaginal prolapse and the resulting very sharp angle formed by the terminal ureter portion are enough to explain the pathogenesis of the observed urinary lesions. The repercussions of advanced prolapses upon upper urinary tracts are rarely mentioned in literature. The three reported clinic cases are absolutely demonstrative: for every one, the major uretero pyelectasis is associated with a progressive renal insufficiency. Authors insist upon urologic symptoms quick regression after a prolapse cure. This correction is made either by putting a pessary, either by a surgical cure unless the risk should be too important for the patient.

We present three cases of prolapse of ureteral tumor. Prolapse of a ureteral tumor is usually associated with antegrade intussusception of the ureter, and is thought to be a sign of noninvasiveness. In such a case segmental ureterectomy may be justified.

A simple orthotopic ureterocele is a ureterocele developed on the terminal portion of a single ureter normally implanted into the bladder. This type of ureterocele is often bilateral and is less frequently observed in children than heterotopic ureteroceles complicating total duplication (27%-73%). The authors report six such cases, review their classical radiological signs, and emphasize three unusual findings:--A simple orthotopic ureterocele complicated by the presence of stones. --A prolapse of a ureterocele into the posterior urethra in a boy, with subsequent dysuria. --A simple orthotopic ureterocele in a blind ureter from a polycystic kidney, with a contralateral primary obstructive mega-ureter.

We conducted a retrospective study of all hysterectomies performed in our setting over a two year period (1995-1996). The objective was double: define the indications and precise the outcome. A total of 141 cases were recorded. The main characteristics of the patients were the following: a mean age of 38 years, mean gravidity and parity of 5 and an average number of living children of 3. Hysterectomy was performed by the abdominal route in 86.52% of the cases. The main indications were: uterine rupture (39.71%), uterine myoma (25.53%), genital prolapse (19.89%) and cervix cancer (7.09%). Adnexectomy was associated in 51 cases and it was bilateral in 22 cases. The following complications occurred: 5 deaths, 8 wound abcess, 2 bladder injury, 1 ureter injury and 1 case of post-operative hemorragea.

We describe one case of intra-scrotal hernia of the right ureter. The anomaly was recognized on a pre-operatory urogram. It was an extra-peritoneal ureteral hernia. There are two types of ureteral hernia: the para-peritoneal hernia with a peritoneal sac; the extra-peritoneal type with only a fatty hernia. The mecanism of the latter illustrated by our case is a prolapse of the retro-peritoneal fat. It is not possible to practice an urogram before the cure of every inguinal hernia, so the prevention in this rare situation of the damage of ureter is to be cautious in the resection of huge lipomas and sliding fat when operating on inguinal hernias.
