Objective: Our aim was to assess the outcomes for ureter stones with delayed treatment due SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Materials and Methods: Data from patients ureterorenoscopy (URS) performed were retrospectively assessed in period during pandemic of 1-31 January 2021 before 2020. On first attendance, emergency drainage requirements, JJ stent requirement, post-op stone-free rate, re-URS presence com...

The Horseshoe kidney is not uncommon entity with an incidence of 0.25% general population increased association genitourinary anomalies. single ureter extremely rare. We report a case patient stone that was diagnosed incidentally. Bangladesh J. Urol. 2021; 24(1): 110-111

http://twitter.com/hsru_aberdeen Ureteric colic is the pain felt when a stone passes down the ureter from the kidney to the bladder and is a frequent reason for people to seek emergency health care. Treatment with the muscle-relaxant drugs tamsulosin and nifedipine as medical expulsive therapy (MET) improves the likelihood of spontaneous stone passage and lessens the need for interventional pro...

INTRODUCTION Complete ureteral avulsion is one of the most serious complications of ureteroscopy. The aim of this report was to look for a good solution to full-length complete ureteral avulsion. CASE PRESENTATION A 40-year-old man underwent ureteroscopic management. Full-length complete avulsion of ureter occurred during ureteroscopy. Pyeloureterostomy plus greater omentum investment outside...

Spontaneous rupture of the ureter is extremely uncommon and thought as a nontraumatic leakage of the urine from the ureter. It is usually secondary to ureteral obstruction from a calculus. The symptom is always severe and drainage or surgical intervention is often required. True rupture of upper ureter or renal pelvis may be confused with a physiologic phenomenon of the forniceal rupture with u...

Two hundred patients with upper urinary tract stones underwent in situ ESWL with Lithostar during the recent 20 months at Kanagawa Prefectural Atsugi Hospital. Actual residual stone rates were calculated based on the period from the initiation of the treatment to the stone free status, and discussed according to the location and size of the stone treated. Total 200 patients were submitted to 1....

30 cases of obstructing proximal ureteral stones at the level of L3-L5 which could not be pushed back into the pelvis and passed by a guide wire under epidural anesthesia, were removed percutaneously with the rigid ureteroscope. Multiple stones in one ureter, bilateral ureteral stones and a ureteral stone of a solitary kidney were removed successfully in one session showing the reliability...

BACKGROUND We aimed to assess the effectiveness of semi-rigid ureteroscopy and holmium laser lithotripsy in the treatment of impacted ureteral stones in children. MATERIAL/METHODS We evaluated a total of 32 children under the age of 18 years treated with ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy for impacted ureteral stones between January 2005 and July 2013. Their stone-free state was defined ...

BACKGROUND Medical expulsion therapy has shown encouraging results in facilitating spontaneous clearance of ureteral stones after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. However, no other study has yet determined the benefit of medical expulsion therapy for stones in different ureteral locations. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to evaluate tamsulosin as adjunctive therapy to extracorporeal ...

INTRODUCTION Noncontrast CT is the standard of care to evaluate nephrolithiasis. We evaluated the performance of low-dose CT (LDCT) scan for evaluation of renal colic in the emergency room (ER). MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients visiting the ER with suspected nephrolithiasis received a standard-dose CT (SDCT) and an LDCT. Two urologists read the LDCTs and later they read SDCTs. Stone information...
