    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Urology
    • Congenital Abnormalities
    • Surgical Outcomes

    Background:

    • Unilateral congenital giant megaureter is a rare condition characterized by significant ureteral dilation.
    • It often presents with associated renal dysplasia, hypoplasia, or hydronephrosis.
    • Histological findings include abnormal muscular coats and epithelial lining of the ureter.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the clinical characteristics, management, and outcomes of patients with unilateral congenital giant megaureter.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of surgical intervention for this condition.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 21 patients diagnosed with unilateral congenital giant megaureter.
    • Analysis of patient demographics, clinical presentation, imaging findings, surgical procedures, and postoperative outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • The study included 21 patients aged 2 months to 8 years.
    • Common associations included duplex collecting systems (12/21) and abdominal cyst masses.
    • Nineteen patients underwent surgical excision of the megaureter and associated kidney/moiety, achieving symptom resolution.

    Conclusions:

    • Congenital giant megaureter is frequently associated with significant renal and ureteral anomalies.
    • Surgical excision is an effective treatment for unilateral congenital giant megaureter, leading to favorable outcomes in most cases.
