Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Pediatric Urology
  • Adult Urology

Context:

  • Megaureters are uncommon in adults, with limited case reports available.
  • This study focuses on seven adult female patients diagnosed with megaureters over a six-year period.
  • Patient ages ranged from 46 to 67 years, highlighting the condition's occurrence in adulthood.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of surgical reconstruction for treating megaureters in adult patients.
  • To compare outcomes of reconstructive surgery in adults with existing data from pediatric megaureter cases.

Summary:

  • Seven adult female patients with megaureters (grades II and III) underwent reconstructive surgery.
  • Procedures included excision of narrow segments, ureteral tapering, and reimplantation.

  • Excellent outcomes were observed in grade II cases, with mild improvement in the grade III case.

    • Impact:

    • Surgical reconstruction demonstrates comparable effectiveness in adults to children with megaureters.
    • This research expands understanding of adult megaureter management and treatment outcomes.
    • Highlights the potential for successful surgical intervention in adult megaureter cases.
