    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Medical Science

    Background:

    • Ureteral diverticula are uncommon findings in the urinary tract.
    • Their etiology may involve congenital anomalies or acquired factors.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a series of ureteral diverticula cases.
    • To discuss the natural history and potential causes of ureteral diverticula.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective case series analysis.
    • Review of twelve patients diagnosed with ureteral diverticula over 25 years.

    Main Results:

    • Twelve cases of ureteral diverticula were identified.
    • The study suggests acquired abnormal hydrodynamic states play a role in their development.
    • Most ureteral diverticula were asymptomatic.

    Conclusions:

    • Ureteral diverticula can develop from congenital or acquired hydrodynamic abnormalities.
    • Asymptomatic ureteral diverticula typically do not necessitate treatment.
