Journal Title: International Archives of Integrated Medicine - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 9
Abstract
Amongst the congenital anomalies of the Ureter, Megaureter is one of the commonest, next only to the various types of duplications. Though every dilated and large ureter can be described as Megaureter, Primary obstructive megaureter is the entity wherein the dilated ureter is associated with a short, juxtavesical, narrow, adynamic segment and is not associated with reflux. This is a study of 8 patients who presented with primary obstructive megaureter in the department of urology, Osmania General Hospital, Afzalgunj during 2013-2015. Apart from the clinical presentation of this disorder, the modalities of arriving at the Diagnosis, the associated complications and the management are discussed.
