[A bifid ureter with a blind branch. Apropos of a case].

A case of bifid ureter with a blind branch exhibiting no parenchymal connections is reported. Diagnosis was established by excretory urography. Less than twenty cases diagnosed in this way have been reported previously, the embryogenesis of the normal and bifid ureter is reviewed.

[Internal urethrotomy. Resection of urethral stricture (over 5 years follow-up)].

Since 1980, in addition to internal urethrotomy, the authors have used urethrotomy combined with endoscopic resection of the stricture. This method consists of a classical first stage of section of the stricture, but only at 11 o'clock and at 1 o'clock to leave a rail of midline fibrosis. The second stage consists of resection of this rail.
