Popis: The article discusses a case of 4-year-old patient with a bilateral obstructive megaureter of a non-functioning left kidney and with the opening of this kidney ureter into the urethra with extravasal location of a giant ureterocele. The malformation of the urinary system was accompanied by a comorbid disease of bronchopulmonary system in the form of tuberculosis of the lungs and intra-thoracic lymph nodes. At the age of one month, due to decompensation of the only functioning right kidney, urine was withdrawn by applying a ureterostomy. Later, a proximal lateral cutaneous ureterostomy was put because of social reasons (mother refused of her baby). In two months, the next step was performed - a ureterocystoneostomy by the Cohen’s antireflux technique. After a long-term treatment for tuberculosis in clinics of Tver and St. Petersburg, at the age of 4, the girl was operated on at the first surgical department at St-Petersburg State Pediatric Medical University. Laparoscopic nephroureterectomy on the left with conversion to lower-middle laparotomy and resection of the terminal part of the left ureter with a giant ectopic ureterocele as well as closure of the ureterocutaneostomy on the right were performed. After stabilization, the child was transferred to a children’s boarding school in Tver, and currently is supervised by pediatric urologists and TB specialists.
