Although retrocaval disease, become symptomatic during third or fourth decade their lives. Flank pain, hematuria, upper tract urina...

INTRODUCTION T-cell prolymphocytic leukaemia is a rare condition that constitutes around 2% of cases of small lymphocytic leukaemia in adults. It follows an aggressive clinical course with a poor prognosis. CASE PRESENTATION We report a 55-year-old male who was diagnosed with T-cell prolymphocytic leukaemia following investigations for microscopic haematuria. Splenomegaly was identified on a ...

Excretory urography using sodium diatrizoate was performed in 144 dogs and in 14 cats clinically suspects of having urinary disorders. The purpose of the present study' is to evaluate at which time following the injection of the contrast mediun, the radiographic alterations were better visualized, making possible the diagnosis of these disorders. In this study the best visualizations were found...

Ultrasonography is a quick and non-invasive method of evaluating the kidney which cannot be seen on excretory urography. If advanced renal tuberculosis is the reason, then ultrasonography is frequently diagnostic.

A canine model with partial ureteral obstruction and progressive hydroureteronephrosis was utilized to validate and compare the accuracy of several diagnostic methods currently used to assess urinary tract obstruction. Tests of renal function and measurements of intrapelvic pressure were not helpful in following the progress of hydroureteronephrosis but did provide insight into the mechanisms b...

OBJECTIVE To assess the value of the silicone modeler in preventing graft retraction in dogs undergoing bladder replacement with de-epithelialized ileum. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twelve female dogs underwent total cystectomy and bladder replacement by neobladder made of demucosalized ileal segment, comparing the group with modeler (group I) and the group without modeler (group II). Cystometry da...

Ureteric tumours are rare and most of them are malignant. Of benign tumours, ureteral fibroepithelial polyps are the most common but are still considered clinical rarities. In the past, most benign ureteric tumours were only diagnosed after surgical removal. With technological advance, magnetic resonance imaging has become an effective means of assessing ureteric lesions. Non-contrast enhanced ...

Objectives: To assess the feasibility and effectiveness of transperitoneal laparoscopic pyeloplasty in the treatment of ureteropelvic junction obstruction. Laparoscopic pyeloplasty has been shown to have a success rate comparable to that of the open surgical approach. We report the results of our first 15 cases of transperitoneal dismembered pyeloplasty. Patients and methods: From August 2006 t...
