    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Medical Classification Systems

    Background:

    • Abnormal ureter classification currently uses confusing and obsolete terminology.
    • A need exists for a simplified and universally understood system.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a new, simple classification for abnormal ureters.
    • To standardize terminology in the medical literature regarding ureteral abnormalities.

    Main Methods:

    • Categorization based on the presence or absence of three key factors: reflux, bladder outlet obstruction, and ureteric obstruction.
    • Development of a classification system aimed at clarity and simplicity.

    Main Results:

    • A classification system is proposed that simplifies the diagnosis of abnormal ureters.
    • The system is based on three distinct, identifiable factors.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed classification offers a clear and concise method for categorizing abnormal ureters.
    • This system aims to reduce confusion and achieve international acceptance in urological literature.
