Ureterocele Treatment
Antibiotics are usually given to prevent further infections until surgery can be done. Ampicillin or Bactrim are commonly used.
Treatment is focused on relief of the obstruction. Stents (drains placed in the ureter or in the renal pelvis) may provide short-term relief of symptoms. Surgical repair of the ureterocele usually cures the condition. The surgical repair entails either making an incision of the ureterocele (popping the water balloon) or removing the ureterocele and reattaching the ureter to the bladder. This decision is dictated by the severity of the obstruction.
