Crossed fused renal ectopia is a rare renal anomaly. Formation of staghorn and struvite calculi within it has never been reported in local literature. A 25-year-old man with macrohematuria and right flank pain was admitted to the hospital. An intravenous pyelography revealed right sided crossed fused ectopic kidney showing a staghorn and struvite calculi in upper-moiety along with gross hydrone...

The study presents a new technique to identify kidney stones and differentiate it from artifacts from an ultra sound scanned image. Image analysis plays vital role in medical diagnosis. Analysing texture is a major source of discrimination in image analysis. There are situations when artifacts are mistaken for kidney stones in Medical scan using Ultra sound technique. We are proposing a new app...

Introduction: Our goal was to investigate the efficacy of flexible ureteroscopy (FU) in the treatment of pyelocaliceal calculi. Materials and Methods: Between September 2002 and December 2004, a total of 41 patients with multiple (23 cases), pelvic (7 cases), and inferior caliceal (11 cases) SWL-resistant calculi underwent FU. We used a 7.5-F flexible ureteroscope with pressure irrigation and e...
