Pneumovesicoscopic treatment of subvesical obstructing ectopic ureteroceles in newborns, infants and children

In brief

This study examines pneumovesicoscopic incision as a minimally invasive surgical approach for treating ectopic ureteroceles causing subvesical obstruction in pediatric patients from newborn through childhood. The research assesses both the technical feasibility and clinical effectiveness of this endoscopic technique as an initial surgical intervention.

• Pneumovesicoscopic incision is a minimally invasive approach for treating obstructing ectopic ureteroceles in pediatric patients.
• Safe initial surgical intervention is critical to prevent complications in newborns and infants with subvesical obstruction.
• The technique offers a feasible alternative to open surgery for decompressing ectopic ureteroceles in children.
