A Murine Model of Irreversible and Reversible Unilateral Ureteric Obstruction
Published on: December 20, 2014
Abstract:
Types and variants of ureterocele are specified basing on 115 clinical cases and literature data. Three types of this anomaly exist: intravesical, cervicosphincteral and extravesical. Intravesical ureterocele can be orthopedic and ectopic. The latter has three variants: of accessory ureter, of partially double ureter, of non-double ureter. Ureterocele is frequently associated with low ectopy of ostium ureteric, double ureter. Ureterocele occurs neither in the ureter itself nor in high ectopy of the ostium ureteric. Extravesical ureterocele has many variants which differ in males and females. All ureterocele types and variants occur as unilateral or bilateral. The new diagnostic method is proposed: endovesical ureterocelegraphy.

The anatomy of the urethra differs between males and females. In females, the urethra is short, measuring about 3–4 cm in length, and opens anterior to the vaginal opening. In males, the urethra is longer and passes through the penis, serving dual purposes: expelling urine and ejaculating semen. The male urethra is...
