Ectopic ureters in anorectal malformations

ConclusionsThe incidence of ectopic ureter is 3.5% among anorectal malformation patients. Cloaca and recto-bladder neck fistula are the types of anorectal malformation with higher incidence. Ureteral ectopia seems to confer an increased risk of renal failure. Identifying ectopic ureters is important for surgical planning and monitoring renal function vigilantly.
