Ureteric Clipping for the Treatment of Urinary Incontinence in Girls With Ectopic Ureters: Predicting Who Is Going to Dilate and Does It Matter?

Objective: To assess the effectiveness and midterm follow-up of laparoscopic upper pole ectopic ureteral clipping to treat urinary incontinence in girls with duplex kidneys and non/poorly functioning upper pole moieties. To see if preoperative characteristics increased the likelihood of significant postoperative dilatation and whether this dilation has clinical significance.

Methods: A database review identified children who had undergone ureteric clipping at our institution.
