چکیده
Neither computed tomography (CT) nor intravenous pyelography (IVP) alone can diagnose tumors of renal pelvic diverticula, but magnetic resonance urography (MRU) can obtain accurate preoperative information.

Bipolar plasma vaporization – an innovative intramural ureter detachment method during nephroureterectomy
INTRODUCTION Nephroureterectomy with perimeatal cystectomy is still the gold standard in the treatment of urothelial upper urinary-tract carcinoma (UUTC). Ureteral endoscopic surgery was proposed as a complementary first step in nephroureterectomy, in order to obviate the low abdominal incision. Our goal was to establish the value of a novel method of endoscopic distal ureteral management in on...

متن کاملUpper Tract Urothelial Carcinomas in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease: Relationship with Diagnostic Challenge
Chronic kidney disease and upper tract urothelial carcinomas display a bidirectional relationship. Review of the literature indicates that early diagnosis and correct localization of upper tract urothelial carcinomas in dialysis patients and kidney transplant recipients are important but problematic. Urine cytology and cystoscopy have limited sensitivity for the diagnosis of upper tract urothel...
متن کامل9 . Renal duplication
The complex embryogenesis of the kidney and drainage system accounts for the development and frequency of congenital abnormalities. A complete or incomplete double pyelocaliceal system is identified in 0.8% of postmortem examinations. As an incidental finding during intravenous urography, this percentage increases to 3%, of which in 40% of cases, the finding is bilateral. The term “renal duplic...
متن کاملDiffusion weighted imaging in the detection of upper urinary tract urothelial tumors.
PURPOSE Diffusion-weighted (DW) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides information about the biophysical properties of tissues such as cell organization and density. DW imaging (DWI) is becoming important in the assessment of malignant tumors. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the capability and reliability of DWI in the evaluation of upper urinary tract urothelial tumors. MATERIALS...
