Abstract
A ureterocele is a cystic dilatation of the intravesicular submucosal distal portion of the ureter. This article focuses on bilateral ectopic ureteroceles in a young female dog suffering from urinary incontinence, treated by partial bilateral ureterocelectomy. Should this case be rare, the clinical presentation is typical. In order to distinguish this disease from an intramural ureteral ectopy, diagnostic imaging, and especially ultrasonography, is essential. The surgical technique, simple, used for this case, has hardly ever been employed. It results from other techniques reported and from clinical findings during surgery, and enabled a complete resolution of the dog's urinary incontinence.
