Duplex renal collecting system presenting with hydroureteronephrosis following pelvic organ prolapse and sacrocolpopexy in an adult female

Abstract

Duplex collecting systems are common congenital abnormalities of the urinary tract but are infrequently reported in adult populations. This abnormality can present with hydroureteronephrosis secondary to urinary tract obstruction or concomitant vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs), and urinary incontinence. Options for surgical management include common-sheath ureteral reimplantation, uretero-ureterostomy, pyelostomy, and heminephroureterectomy. We report the case of a 39-year-old female with a duplex kidney who presented with severe hydroureteronephrosis following a sacrocolpopexy.
