Pediatric Ectopic Ureter
An ectopic ureter means that the small tubes that normally carry urine to the bladder don’t properly connect to the bladder.
What is a Pediatric Ectopic Ureter?
Ureters are the thin tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder. In a child with an ectopic ureter, the ureter doesn’t connect properly to the bladder and, therefore, drains somewhere else.
- In boys, an ectopic ureter usually drains into the urethra (tube that empties urine from the bladder) closer to the prostate.
- In girls, an ectopic ureter typically drains into the reproductive organs or urethra.
An ectopic ureter is sometimes associated with a duplex kidney, a condition in which a single kidney has two ureters.
