Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The authors reviewed four cases of ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJ) in duplicated systems. Associated abnormalities included contralateral duplication, vesicoureteral reflux, and a case of ipsilateral upper pole ectopic ureter with a dysplastic upper pole moiety. Surgical management included dismembered pyeloplasty, ureteral reimplantation, end-to-side pyeloureterostomy to the upper-pole ureter, and upper-pole heminephrectomy with lower-pole dismembered pyeloplasty. UPJ obstructions occurring in duplicated systems often are associated with other anomalies.
