    Summary

    Diagnosing ectopic megaureter in girls is now simpler with percutaneous transvesical fine needle puncture. This technique aids in visualizing the megaureter and locating the ectopic orifice for improved preoperative assessment.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Urology
    • Diagnostic Imaging
    • Minimally Invasive Surgery

    Background:

    • Ectopic megaureter diagnosis can be challenging, impacting timely treatment for pediatric patients.
    • Accurate preoperative identification of ureteral abnormalities is crucial for surgical planning and patient outcomes.

    Observation:

    • A novel technique utilizing percutaneous transvesical fine needle puncture was employed.
    • Sonographic visualization of a retrovesical megaureter guided the fine needle puncture.
    • Antegrade ureterography with contrast and indigocarmine dye was performed.

    Findings:

    • The procedure successfully demonstrated the megaureter via roentgenology.
    • The ectopic orifice was identified using direct vision or colposcopy in all three cases.
    • This method simplifies the preoperative diagnosis of ectopic megaureter.

    Implications:

    • This minimally invasive approach offers a more straightforward method for diagnosing ectopic megaureter.
    • Improved diagnostic accuracy can lead to better surgical planning and outcomes in affected girls.
    • The technique holds potential for wider adoption in pediatric urology practices.
