Abstract

Duplicated collecting systems with minimal-to-no function of the upper moiety are often treated surgically with upper pole heminephrectomy and ureterectomy. Complications associated with the ureteral stump can occur and are collectively known as ureteral stump syndrome. We present a case of ureteral stump syndrome treated with percutaneous transgluteal access into the stump which aided in identification of an ectopic ureteral opening that could not be identified by surgical means alone.
