[Megaureters in adults].

Abstract

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.
