The case histories of 175 @entity235 with @entity1901 were reviewed; there were 156 females and 19 males. Golden retrievers, labrador retrievers and Skye terriers appeared to be over-represented. Their median age when examined was 10 months, and the males were significantly older than the females. Fifty-six animals were affected bilaterally, 50 were affected on the left side alone and 69 on the right side alone. One hundred and twenty-two cases had other abnormalities and 67 had more than one; they included hydro-ureter, @entity3041 , @entity2885 , @entity1494 and @entity337 of the urethral sphincter mechanism. Forty-one cases were not treated, and the other 134 were treated by ureteronephrectomy, extravesicular ureteric transplantation or intravesicular ureteric transplantation. One hundred and twelve cases were available for follow-up for a median period of over two years (range one month to 15 years). The response to surgery and the incidence of complications was similar after each method of treatment. Sixty-five of the 112 cases were cured of @entity322 and 26 were improved. The complication rate (14 per cent overall) was similar for each procedure although different types of complications occurred. @entity3041 occurred most commonly after extravesicular transplantation and @entity3833 occurred most commonly after intravesicular transplantation.
