Duplex kidneys: a correlation of renal dysplasia with position of the ureteral orifice
GG Mackie, FD Stephens - The Journal of urology, 1975 - Elsevier
A study was made of 51 duplex kidneys, ureters and bladders to assess the types of
abnormalities seen in duplex kidneys. The abnormalities affected ectopic and orthotopic
segments equally. The occurrence of renal abnormality was closely correlated to the
abnormal locations of the segment's ureteral orifice. When the orifice was displaced either
cranially (orifice positions B, C and D) or caudally (orifices G and H) the orthotopic and
ectopic segments, respectively, showed more severe hypoplasia and dysplasia. Faulty …
