Abstract

A large congenital paraureteric diverticulum has not been reported earlier in combination with bilateral obstructed megaureter. We present one such case in an adolescent male with decreased bladder capacity and renal failure. A single sitting surgical procedure included diverticulocystoplasty with bilateral ureteric reimplantation. The left ureter was implanted into the diverticular wall, which was used as a patch to augment the bladder. Reimplantation into the wall of the diverticulum has also not been reported earlier.
