Background: The use of ureteroscopy in the management of urolithiasis is well established. Ureteral avulsion is a rare but challenging complication of the procedure. Postureteral injury strictures are a common result of such injuries and are typically managed with reconstructive surgery or endoscopically with polymer stent. This case represents the first effective management of ureteral avulsio...

INTRODUCTION The inguinal approach to the distal part of the ureter allows the surgeon to perform various types of procedures and is considered to be one of the minimally invasive techniques in pediatric surgery. We aim to describe our initial experience with the surgery of the distal ureter performed through an inguinal mini-incision. MATERIAL AND METHODS Between March 2012 and June 2013, 8 ...

Use of the da Vinci® surgical robotic system has expanded to numerous upper and lower urinary tract procedures. We describe our surgical technique and perioperative outcome of robotic distal ureterectomy with psoas hitch and ureteroneocystostomy for distal ureteral pathologies. Eight patients with a median age of 69.5 years old underwent robotic distal ureterectomy with psoas hitch and ureteron...

The surgical management of pediatric upper urinary tract calculi has evolved from open surgery to minimally invasive techniques. With advancement in instrumentation, endourological procedures are being performed more commonly in children. However, the endourological management of renal and ureteral stones in the pediatric population is considered challenging, owing to the smaller size of the ur...

Background Medical expulsive therapy (MET) is the use of medication to facilitate ureteral stone passage prior surgical intervention. Practice guidelines for MET in pediatric population remain limited, primarily due a scarcity randomized controlled trials and concerns regarding dosing side effects. To address this, we conducted systematic review meta-analysis clarify impact on spontaneous stone...

Flexible ureterorenolithotripsy is rapidly developing and becoming the treatment of choice around the World for the invasive treatment of lithiasis (1). According to calculi dimensions, they can be removed integrated or by using an intracorporeal lithotripter. According to laser parameters adjustments, it is possible to vaporize calculi (“dusting”). In this case, it is necessary to use high fre...

INTRODUCTION Urolithiasis is a common medical condition that accounts for a large number of emergency department (ED) visits each year and contributes significantly to annual healthcare costs. Urinalysis is an important screening test for patients presenting with symptoms suspicious for urolithiasis. At present there is a paucity of medical literature examining the characteristics of ureteral s...
