Large bifid ureteric calculus in a patient with an ileal conduit

Urinary diversion after extirpative surgery of the bladder is done by various methods. Conduit urinary diversion is the most commonly practiced method of urinary diversion. It is relatively easy to perform and has a lower complication rate than other forms of diversion, e.g., orthotopic neobladder and continent cutaneous urinary diversion. Urolithiasis is a known and common complication of urin...

Efficacy of Shock Wave Lithotripsy in Lower Ureteric Calculus

Introduction: Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) and ureteroscopy (URS) are effective treatments in the management of ureteric calculus. ESWL is noninvasive, associated with less morbidity than URS. Moreover, URS requires specialized training, requires more anesthesia, and more often requires ureteral stent placement. We have analyzed the efficacy of ESWL in the management of lower ur...

Laparoscopic Ureterolithotomy for Giant Ureteric Calculus: A Case Report

We present a case of a 21 year old male who presented with symptomatic right upper ureteric calculus measuring 5 cm × 1.5 cm fulfilling the criteria to be named as giant ureteric calculus. Laparoscopic right ureterolithotomy was performed and the giant ureteric calculus was retrieved.
