Plain-English summary
A 9-month-old male domestic shorthair cat was brought in for urinary incontinence, which means he was unable to control his urination. Tests showed that he had a swollen right kidney and a condition called ureterocele, where the ureter (the tube that carries urine) is abnormally positioned. The veterinarian performed surgery to correct these issues, which involved removing part of the ureterocele and reconnecting the ureter to the bladder. After the surgery, the cat's urinary problems were addressed, and he was able to regain control over his urination.

Abstract
A 9-month-old, castrated male domestic shorthair cat with urinary incontinence was referred for surgical correction of an ectopic ureter. Excretory urography revealed hydronephrosis of the right kidney, right hydroureter, and ureterocele. A partial ureterocelectomy and neoureterocystostomy were performed. This report describes the surgical modification of the ureterocele and ectopic ureter to correct ipsilateral hydronephrosis, hydroureter, and urinary incontinence.
