Ureteral triplication is a very rare anomaly found in the upper urinary tract. This condition can be connected with a higher incidence of congenital anomalies and predisposition for urinary infections. Operative procedure is considered in cases where symptoms reduce the patient's quality of life. The type of surgical treatment depends on symptom manifestation. The risk of renal failure is usually a deciding factor, which can be found in conditions such as vesicoureteral reflux, obstruction, ureteral ectopy and recurrent infections. Simultaneous treatment of upper and lower urinary tract can be performed. We report a case of a 38-year-old female patient diagnosed with cervical carcinoma, where ureteral triplication was detected incidentally during a radical operative procedure.
输尿管重复畸形是一种在上尿路中非常罕见的异常。这种情况可能与更高的先天性异常发生率和尿路感染易感性有关。在症状降低患者生活质量的情况下,才会考虑手术治疗。手术治疗的类型取决于症状表现。肾功能衰竭的风险通常是一个决定因素,这种情况可能发生在输尿管反流、梗阻、输尿管异位和反复感染等情况下。可以同时对上尿路和下尿路进行治疗。我们报告了一例 38 岁女性宫颈癌患者的病例,在根治性手术中意外发现输尿管重复畸形。
