October 2017
Department of Pediatric Urology, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center and Children's Hospital of Oklahoma, Oklahoma City, OK.
Objective: To assess the outcomes of "watering can" ureterocele puncture (WCP), a technique previously associated with decreased incidence of de novo vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), as a durable option for management of ureteroceles and to determine the need for subsequent surgery for VUR following watering can puncture.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed records of 55 consecutive endoscopic ureterocele procedures performed at our institution from 1999 to 2015. The WCP was performed using a holmium laser fiber to make 10-20 puncture holes through the ureterocele.
