TREATMENT

The need for surgical intervention depends on the nature and extent of the malformation. If an obstruction is present, it should be excised as soon as possible so as to reduce the risk of further infection and preserve renal function. If incontinence, vesicoureteral reflux, external duplication, and/or other anomalies are present, a more complex intervention will be required, the specifics of which must be tailored to each individual patient.
