Megaureters are common in children but are rarely found in adults, probably due to the scarcity of clinical symptoms. Reconstruction surgery in adults has been performed only exceptionally up to a few years ago. We encountered 7 adults with 7 megaureters in the recent 6 years. The underlying pathologic entities responsible for the megaureters were non-peristaltic lower segment, ectopic ureter and ureterovesical junction stenosis. Six adults with 6 megaureters were treated by complete surgical reconstruction and reimplantation of the ureter. The outcome of all the reported cases was excellent.
