Objective: To report a case of severe hydronephrosis 20 years after bladder exstrophy (BE) repair, managed by bilateral ureteral tapering and secondary ureteroneocystostomy.
Case presentation: A 21-year-old woman with a history of BE and ureteral reimplantation, presented with hematuria-dysuria syndrome and recurrent febrile urinary tract infections. After counselling, she elected to undergo bilateral ureteral tapering and second ureteroneocystostomy.
Conclusion: Hydronephrosis secondary to ureteralvesical stricture in BE patients can be successfully managed with ureteral reimplantation associated to ureteral tapering even after a prior reimplantation.
