Transurethral fulguration for empyema of ectopic ureteral stump
2003
A 55-year-old woman who had undergone left nephrectomy 7 years prior because of pyonephrosis, suffered from refractory cystitis and was diagnosed with empyema of the left ureteral stump associated with ectopic ureter. Although removal of the stump is a popular treatment for this disease, transurethral fulguration of the stump lumen was performed in the patient described here. The procedure was technically easy and safe, resulting in the disappearance of the dilated stump and cessation of recurring cystitis.
