We evaluated a new method involving cystoscopic sleeve resection of the distal ureter using a 2-μm continuous wave laser before LNU. Patients and methods: LNU was performed in 38 patients at our hospital between January 2008 and J...

A 55-year-old male with a history of iliac artery - popliteal artery polytetrafluoroethylene graft bypass presented 2 years later with sudden onset gross hematuria with sepsis. Computed tomography (CT) angiography was suggestive of fistula between ureter and iliac artery which was treated with arterial covered stent graft. The patient presented 2 weeks later with watery discharge from the previ...

Large-cell retroperitoneal lymphoma was partially resected including a long segment of ureter. The proximal end of the ureter was clipped during surgery. A percutaneous nephrostomy was inserted after 48 h. Adjuvant chemotherapy was then delivered and the kidney was autotransplanted to the contralateral iliac fossa. Salvage of a hydronephrotic functioning kidney by nephrostomy and delayed contra...

PURPOSE The objective of this study were to evaluate the location of ureteral stones and the diameter of the ureter in patients with renal colic. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the records of 95 consecutive patients who presented to the emergency department with renal colic in whom urinary stones were diagnosed by computed tomography between January 2009 and August 2009. Th...

OBJECTIVE The management of the distal ureter and bladder cuff is an important issue related to laparoscopic nephroureterectomy, because of the fear that local and bladder recurrences could be induced by an inadequate manipulation of the specimen. We present a case of muscle invasive bladder tumor that appeared 18 months after laparoscopic radical nephroureterectomy. METHODS/RESULTS A 42 year...

Purpose: There has been no report evaluating the anatomy of the ureter on CT images. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the anatomy of the ureter near the ureterovesical junction on preoperative CT. Methods: Forty patients were analyzed the craniocaudal level of the ureterovesical junction, the transverse distance from the medial line of the body to the ureterovesical jun...

OBJECTIVE Retrocaval ureter is a rare disease which is due to a abnormal development of the inferior cava vein. It usually presents with ureteral obstruction, and surgery is needed for symptomatic cases. METHOD We present a case of retrocaval ureter and a revision of the literature. RESULTS A 9 year-old boy who had consulted for macroscopic hematuria. The intravenous urography (IVU) suggest...

A 46-year-old female was referred to our hospital with a complaint of left flank pain. Ultrasongraphy and computed tomography demonstrated a left hydronephroureter due to stenosis with a ureteral mass in the left lower ureter. Retrograde pyelography revealed severe stricture of left lower ureter and brushing cytology showed papanicolaou class III. Ureteral tumor was suspected and left nephroure...

The cause is unknown but hereditary factors may play a role. Incontinence may be continuous (Fig. 4, page 11) or intermittent and even when both ureters are ectopic (bilateral ectopic ureter,), the dog can usually still pass a normal stream of urine, despite the copious leakage at other times. Diagnosis is by contrast radiography (special x-ray studies discussed in more detail in the section Ho...

Retrocaval ureter, also known as circumcaval ureter, is a rare congenital anomaly which commonly presents with loin pain in middle age group. Here, ureter passes between the inferior vena cava (IVC) and psoas muscle and gets compressed. Duplication of IVC is another rare congenital anomaly in the development of IVC. We present a case of a 49-year-old male who presented with loin pain and upon t...
