Endoscopic treatment of vesicoureteral reflux following transurethral resection of a vesical carcinoma by Teflon injection.

We have treated 33 patients who presented with reflux in 40 ureters following transurethral resection (TUR) for bladder cancer. One or two injections of Teflon were made under the submucosal intramural ureter. Among the 32 ureters that could be correctly evaluated, we observed that vesicoureteral reflux disappeared in 18 (56.3%), and decreased the grade of reflux in 5 (15.6%). There were no modifications in the 9 remaining ureteral units (28.1%). Control urogram and/or sonogram scan were performed in all cases and demonstrating the absence of obstructive uropathy.

[Persistent Mullerian duct syndrome].

We report on a 14-year-old boy who was admitted to the emergency department for acute retention of urine. At age 1 year, he had been submitted to surgery for left cryptorchidism and left-sided herniation, associated with hypospadias of the glans penis. Radiologic and endoscopic work up revealed a large retrovesical cavity with septation in its upper portion communicating with the prostatic urethra. These structures were removed and pathologic examination disclosed remnants of Müllerian ducts. This uncommon disease entity whose etiopathogenesis is ascribed to a deficient activity of the Müllerian inhibiting factor (MIF) classically presents in phenotypically male subjects with unilateral cryptorchidism, contralateral herniation, and persistent Müllerian remnants. The literature is reviewed, highlighting the diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of this syndrome.
