    This study found that treating acquired megaureters in children after ureteral reimplantation has a low success rate, especially after multiple prior surgeries. Transvesical approaches improved outcomes, highlighting the complexity of managing these challenging pediatric urological conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Urology
    • Reconstructive Surgery

    Background:

    • Acquired megaureters can develop after ureteral reimplantation surgery in children.
    • These cases often involve complex histories, including multiple previous bladder surgeries and azotemia.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the outcomes of treating acquired megaureters in children.
    • To identify factors influencing the success of repeat ureteral reimplantation and reconstructive procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 30 children (44 megaureters) treated between 1965-1975.
    • Assessment of salvage rates for megaureters with reflux versus obstruction.
    • Evaluation of surgical techniques, including ureteral tailoring and transvesical approaches.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Overall success rate for reconstruction was 70%, with only 70% of those being successful by all parameters.
    • No difference in salvage rates between reflux and obstruction.
    • Ureteral tailoring was often necessary for successful repeat reimplantation.
    • Prior surgical history significantly impacted salvage rates.
    • Transvesical approaches were associated with better outcomes and fewer complications like atonic bladder dysfunction.

    Conclusions:

    • Management of acquired megaureters in children is challenging with limited success rates.
    • Repeat surgical procedures, especially transvesical ones, and ureteral tailoring are crucial for better outcomes.
    • Minimizing perivesical dissections is important to prevent secondary bladder dysfunction.
