Bladder stones are frequently seen in elderly men and account for 5% of all urinary stones. They develop secondary to infravesical obstructions, such as prostatic hyperplasia and neurogenic bladder. A 56-year-old patient with frequent and painful urination, dysuria, and minor complaints of suprapubic pain was referred to our clinic. He was diagnosed with bladder stones by non-contrast abdominop...

In an era with robotic partial nephrectomy dominating as the predominate modality to tackle small renal masses, Choiand Bae (1) demonstrate that advanced laparoscopic skill in urology is still alive and well. The difficulty in management with multiple renal tumors is not only nephron preservation, but how to limit the amount of warm ischemia when having to preform multiple resections and renorr...

We report a 52 year old patient presenting with a bladder stone formed over a migrated intrauterine device (Copper-T). Her history was pertinent for intrauterine contraceptive (IUCD) device placement 10 years back. Investigations included plain ultrasound of abdomen, X-ray of abdomen, urinalysis, and urine culture. Ultrasound and plain X-ray of the pelvis confirmed a bladder stone formed over a...

Bladder stones account for ~5% of all urinary tract stones and are associated with bladder outlet obstruction, neurogenic or augmented bladders, infection or foreign bodies. Small bladder stones can be managed efficiently by transurethral methods and larger stones by open or laparoscopic approaches. However, the optimal management of multiple intermediate sized stones is controversial. Options ...

INTRODUCTION In female patients with neuropathic bladder, the urethra is closed permanently in order to avoid urine leak. Then Benchekroun hydraulic ileal valve is attached to urinary bladder, thus providing a continent stoma for performing intermittent catheterisations. CASE PRESENTATION We present a female patient with spina bifida who underwent Benchekroun continent vesicostomy in 1993. Th...
