Plain-English summary
A 16-week-old male border terrier was brought in for urinary incontinence, meaning he was unable to control his urination. Tests showed he had a condition called ectopic ureterocele, where a ureter (the tube carrying urine from the kidney) is improperly positioned. The vet first performed surgery to correct the issue, but the incontinence continued. After further investigation, a second surgery was done to remove part of the ureterocele and reconstruct the urethra, which successfully resolved the urinary incontinence.

Abstract
A 16-week-old, male border terrier was presented for urinary incontinence. Intravenous urography demonstrated a right-sided, extravesical ectopic ureterocele. Neoureterocystostomy and ureterocele omentalization were performed. Urinary incontinence persisted after surgery. Retrograde urethrography revealed communication between the ureterocele and urethra. Urinary incontinence resolved following partial ureterocelectomy and reconstruction of the proximal urethra.
