BACKGROUND Uterine artery pseudoaneurysm (UAP) normally presents genital bleeding in the puerperal period, and severe hydronephrosis rarely presents during pregnancy. We report a rare case of severe ureteral obstruction accompanied by uterine artery pseudoaneurysm in the early second trimester of pregnancy, which was successfully treated by surgical intervention. CASE PRESENTATION A 42-year-o...

PURPOSE To evaluate factors affecting the success rate of stone fragmentation and stone-free rate after extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) in treatment of upper urinary tract stones. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 121 patients with upper urinary tract calculi underwent SWL treatment. RESULTS Success rate of stone fragmentation after SWL was 73.6% (89/121). In 89 patients who had s...

PURPOSE Irrigation-induced increase in intrarenal pressure is of concern because it may cause infection due to increased pyelovenous and pyelolymphatic absorption. This study is the first to compare prospectively the absorbed fluid volumes during percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) for stones larger than 2 cm. MATERIALS AND METHODS General anesthesia w...

Background: - Prostamegaly is a term that refers to prostate gland enlargement due 30cc(ml), Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), after recognizing an gland, becomes more frequent in men as they become grown up. An enlarged may cause briny symptoms such preventing urine from leaving the bladder. They reason bladder, urethral, and kidney problems. The blockage of before renal pelvis causes hydron...

BACKGROUND There has been no study evaluating the intrarenal hemodynamic changes after ureteroscopy in the published literature. PURPOSE To determine preoperative and postoperative intrarenal vascular parameters such as resistive index (RI), pulsatility index (PI), peak systolic velocity (PSV), end-diastolic velocity (EDV), measure changes on these values (ΔRI, ΔPI, ΔPSV, ΔEDV) after ureteros...
