Abstract:
Ureteral triplication is a rare congenital anomaly of the urinary tract. Since the first description of ureteral triplication by Wrany in 1870, only about 100 cases have been reported in the literature. Pediatric cases are very few. Here, 2 cases of ureteral triplication were reported. Diagnosis was established preoperatively in 1 case and intraoperatively in 1. To the authors knowledge, this is the first report of ureteral triplication in China.
