Bladder stones comprise 5% of urinary tract stones. Generally, they occur in the presence of bladder neck obstruction, urinary tract infections associated with neurogenic bladder and foreign objects. They are more common among men than women. Infection stones comprise approximately 15% of urinary tract stones. A giant bladder stone is a rare finding in contemporary urological practice. The gene...

Subcapsular urinomas have been reported in the past as a presenting feature of ureteric or bladder outlet obstruction, generally in children, and often associated with neurogenic bladders. We describe a case of spontaneous asymptomatic bilateral subcapsular urinomas in an adult male with high pressure retention of urine secondary to bladder outlet obstruction. An extensive literature review sho...

PURPOSE We describe the presentation, clinical characteristics, treatment and followup of a series of women with primary bladder neck obstruction (PBNO). MATERIALS AND METHODS A patient data base was searched for women who underwent transurethral resection for bladder outlet obstruction diagnosed by videourodynamic study (VUDS) according to the Blaivas-Groutz nomogram for female bladder outle...

gross hematuria or macroscopic hematuria is a high risk urologic condition that might occur in different settings. in the case of continued gross hematuria, blood clot size may grow and lead to complete obstruction of urinary outflow. placement of three-way catheter, continuous bladder irrigation with normal saline, and cystoscopy are conventional treatments. here we introduce a case with urina...

OBJECTIVE Superficial bladder neck incision (SBNI) is controversial at young age, with retrograde ejaculation after puberty as main concern. The aim of the study is to investigate the long-term effect of SBNI on ejaculation and incontinence in boys with primary and secondary bladder neck obstruction (BNO). MATERIALS AND METHODS In boys with infravesical obstruction, SBNI was performed in case...

Bilateral hydronephrosis secondary to urinary obstruction leads to a buildup of back pressure in the urinary tract and may lead to impairment of renal function. Cases of giant hydronephrosis are rare and usually contain no more than 1-2 litres of fluid in the collecting system. Here, we report a rarely seen case with giant urinary bladder and bilateral giant hydronephrosis due to bladder neck o...
