background ureteral stents are widely used in many urologic practices. however, stents can cause significant complications including migration, fragmentation, and encrustation and it may possibly be forgotten. successful management of a retained, encrusted stent requires combined endourological approaches. objectives to present our experience with the approaches for treating forgotten ureteral ...

INTRODUCTION An aberrant course of the distal ureter can pose a risk of ureteral injury during surgery for inguinal hernia repair and other groin operations. In a recent case series of inguinoscrotal hernation of the ureter, we found that each affected ureter was markedly anterior to the psoas muscle at its mid-point on abdominal CT. We hypothesized that this abnormality in the abdominal course...

Seventy percent of ureteral stones are located at distal ureter. Effective and safe passage of distal ureter stones is mediated by observation or medical expulsive treatment. Most of stones located at distal ureter pass spontaneously under observation; however, some are complicated with urinary tract infection, hydronephrosis, and renal function disturbances. Spontaneous perforation of the uppe...

Since 1943, fourteen cases of primary leiomyosarcoma of the ureter have been reported in English literature. The fifteenth case is presented here with a brief review of the significant aspects of the previous reports.

From the Department of General Surgery, Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences, Ranchi, India H erniation of a ureter in an inguinal canal and scrotum is rare, and the general surgeon should be aware of this possibility to avoid injury to the ureter during hernial dissection. There are 2 types of inguinoscrotal herniation of a ureter: paraperitoneal (with a peritoneal hernial sac) and extraperi...

Objectives. Many techniques were described for ureteroileal anastomosis in orthotopic bladder substitution, ranging from nonrefluxing to refluxing techniques, all aiming at preservation of the upper tract. We describe our technique of dipping the ureter into the ileal pouch, which is simple and had no complications. Patients and Methods. Our technique implies dipping the ureter in the lateral s...
