Bladder outlet obstruction after operation for ureterocele.

K W Ashcraft, W H Hendren

    Journal of Pediatric Surgery
    |December 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Ureteral duplication anomalies can cause bladder diverticula, leading to secondary bladder outlet obstruction. Surgical repair of the muscular defect resolved obstruction, preventing urinary diversion in one patient and allowing reversal in another.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Pediatric Urology

    Background:

    • Ureteroceles are congenital abnormalities of the ureter.
    • They can cause urinary tract obstruction.
    • Bladder outlet obstruction can lead to serious complications.

    Observation:

    • Two patients presented with ureterocele-induced bladder outlet obstruction.
    • A bladder diverticulum formed due to a muscular defect caused by the ureterocele.
    • This diverticulum caused secondary obstruction during voiding.

    Findings:

    • Diagnosis of ureterocele-induced bladder diverticulum as the cause of obstruction was established.
    • Reconstruction of the muscular defect successfully eliminated the obstruction.
    • Satisfactory bladder function was restored in both patients.

    Implications:

    • Accurate diagnosis of secondary bladder outlet obstruction is crucial.
    • Surgical correction of the underlying defect can prevent or reverse urinary diversion.
    • This approach preserves native bladder function and avoids morbid procedures.
