Management of the neonatal ureterocele

Ureteroceles are potentially complex anomalies that have historically been managed with open reconstructive operations. In the last decade, endoscopic management has been proposed as an initial approach in patients with ureteroceles. With antenatal diagnosis, intervention can be performed on an outpatient basis prior to the development of any infections. Recent peer-reviewed studies help to define the appropriate technique, the patient population best managed with incision, and long-term outcomes.
