Ureteral ectopia congenita (UEC) is one of the most common reasons of urinary incontinence in young dogs. Surgery is the definitive treatment for the correction of this congenital abnormality. In the years 2006-2008, the authors found 8 patients with incontinence history. After diagnostic imaging and the confirmation of the authors’ suspicion of ectopic ureter, the owners decided to treat their pets by the surgical procedure. Two of the patients had an intermittent urine-losing failure, in the rest the urine loss was permanent. The authors found the condition significantly more common in beaches than males. The intravenous excretory urography was the primary method of diagnosing ureteral ectopia in the patients. The operation technique applied depended on the location of the distal part of the ureter and on the anatomical variations of the orifices, if found during the medial laparotomy. In all patients neoureterostomy was performed. Visibly dilated ureters and a distinctly different size of the kidneys were the most common additional anomalies of the urinary system, found in 5 patients. Altogether, eight patients were treated by surgery. In interviews conducted 6 to 31 months after the procedure, the owners of 6 dogs were satisfied with its results. The other two dogs were found greatly improved but with persistent incontinence incidents associated with relaxation or recumbency, particularly at night.
