La ectopia ureteral se presenta con una baja prevalencia y por lo general se asocia con duplicidad pieloureteral. En estos casos es frecuente la aparición de incontinencia. Se presentan los casos clínicos de 5 pacientes tratadas en el Hospital Materno-Infantil Virgen de las Nieves por presentar incontinencia urinaria secundaria a ectopia ureteral asociada a duplicidad. En tres de ellas el uréter ectópico desembocaba en el útero y en las otras dos en la vagina. Se eligió la heminefroureterectomía por ser este segmento hipofuncionante o displásico. La incontinencia desapareció tras la intervención quirúrgica.

Ectopia ureteral Duplicidad renoureteral Incontinencia urinaria

The prevalence of ureteral ectopia is low and it is usually associated with pyeloureteral duplication. In these cases, incontinence is frequent. We present the cases of five female patients treated in our hospital for urinary incontinence due to ureteral ectopia and duplicity. The ectopic ureter reached the uterus in three patients and the vagina in the remaining two. The treatment chosen was heminephroureterectomy due to the presence of hypofunctional or dysplastic segments. Incontinence disappeared after surgery.
