Inguinal herniation of the transplant ureter is rare, and there is a paucity of reports in the literature. Herniation is usually secondary to implanting a long redundant ureter and may be precipitated by its course over the spermatic cord. Most often, there is loss of the allograft owing to delayed presentation and chronic ureteric obstruction. Here, we report a case of inguinal herniation of a...

Objectives: Updated review about topographic anatomy, clinical and radiologic diagnosis, and management of the circumcaval ureter. Methods: We used Ovid and PubMed (updated January 2006) to conduct a literature electronic search on MEDLINE which included peer-reviewed articles. Moreover, we analysed previous publications regarding both ‘‘retrocaval’’ and ‘‘circumcaval’’ ureter. Results: Circumc...

  Endometriosis is the presence of benign endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterus. Urinary system involvement by endometriosis is a rare occurrence accounting for only 1.5 % of all endometriosis cases. Case 1. The patient was a 41 years old woman admitted for right flank pain. The physical and gynaecologic examination was unyielding. Intravenous urography (IVU) revealed sten...

The ampulla ureter and ampulla urogenital ⁄ uriniferous papilla represent differing morphologies of the caudal urogenital ducts in snakes. The ampulla ureter is an enlarged portion of the caudal extremity of the ureter that communicates the cranial regions of the ureter and the ductus deferens ⁄Wolffian duct to the urodaeum. The ampulla urogenital ⁄ uriniferous papilla is an enlarged pouch, dis...

Hydronephrosis was evaluated by using system developed Society Fetal Urology. Stone si...

Dear Editor, Uterus didelphys with an imperforate hemivagina is an embryonic malformation of the genitourinary system of the female that occurs between the 12th and 16th weeks of pregnancy. This defect may manifest itself as a duplication of all or part of the female reproductive system. The obstruction of one hemivagina will block outfl ow, resulting in complications such as haematocolpos and ...

OBJECTIVES In this study, we aimed to analyze the ureter stones that had been treated using rigid ureteroscopy and pneumatic lithotripsy without mechanically dilating the ureteral orifice. PATIENTS AND METHODS Records of 110 patients who had undergone rigid ureteroscopy and pneumatic lithotripsy due to ureteral stone between February 2005 and May 2011 were retrospectively analyzed. The locati...

The blind-ending bifid ureter is a rare congenital anomaly of urinary system. We presented one case of the blind-ending bifid ureter which originates from the middle third ureter. The embryogenesis and possible mechanisms are reviewed. Changing positions in projections during intravenous urography provides more information of the blindending branch. Intravenous urography is one of the best moda...
