Are there any factors affecting the outcome of endoscopic sclerotherapy in filarial chyluria? A prospective study.

Introduction: Filarial chyluria is a frequent problem in India. While endoscopic therapy is the mainstay of treatment, it is not always successful. We aimed to determine parameters that affect outcomes of endoscopic sclerotherapy for filarial chyluria (FC).

Giant hydronephrosis: still a reality!

Objective: Giant hydronephrosis (GH) is a rare entity in both developed and developing countries with less than 500 cases reported in the literature. Delayed diagnosis and management of GH, can result in long-term complications like hypertension, rupture of the kidney, renal failure and malignant change. We aim to highlight the importance of this often neglected entity and build a consensus for its early diagnosis and management.

Laparoscopic ureteral reimplantation with Boari flap for the management of long- segment ureteral defect: A case series with review of the literature.

Objective: The incidence of ureteral stricture is showing a rising trend due to increased use of laparoscopic and upper urinary tract endoscopic procedures. Boari flap is the preferred method of repairing long- segment ureteral defects of 8-12 cm. The procedure has undergone change from classical open (transperitoneal and retroperitoneal) method to laparoscopic surgery and recently robotic surgery.

Nephrolithisis in a newborn: a rare case and review of literature.

Nephrolithiasis, although a common entity in adults, is less common in children and rare in newborns. The evaluation and management strategies of renal stones in neonates are unclear. We report a rare scenario of renal calculus in a newborn aged 3 days presenting with decreased urine output, fever and crying during micturition.

Emphysematous pyelonephritis: Changing trend of clinical spectrum, pathogenesis, management and outcome.

Objective: To highlight changing trend of clinical spectrum, comparing management options and predictors of outcome of emphysematous pyelonephritis.

Material And Methods: This study included patients who were diagnosed as emphysematous pyelonephritis between August, 2001 to July, 2015. We excluded other possible causes of gas in renal system.

Outcome analysis of transurethral resection versus potassium titanyl phosphate-photo selective vaporization of the prostate for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia; a randomized controlled trial with 4 years follow up.

Objective: Photovaporization of prostate (PVP) is a newer surgical modality of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) which is gaining importance recently. There are a few randomized controlled trials that showed safety and efficacy of PVP in comparison with transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) with limited follow-up period (<2 years). Here, we are presenting a comparative study performed on potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) PVP laser versus TURP for the treatment of BPH with long-term follow-up period.

Renal fistulae: different aetiologies, similar management.

Iatrogenic renocolic fistulae, although have been described in literature, is a rare clinical complication. Recently its incidence is on rise due to advent of minimally invasive surgery and percutaneous surgery of kidney. It has been reported after percutaneous nephrolithotomy but its incidence after percutaneous nephrostomy is quite uncommon and rarely reported.

Large bladder calculus masking a stone in single-system ureterocele.

Ureterocele in an elderly is a rare entity. The presence of stone within ureterocele along with a large bladder calculus is an even rarer presentation. This phenomenon has not been reported so far to the best of our knowledge.

Transurethral resection of prostate in benign prostatic enlargement with underactive bladder: A retrospective outcome analysis.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcome and efficacy of transurethral resection of the prostate in patients of benign prostatic enlargement (BPE) with underactive bladder.

Materials And Methods: Retrospective study of 174 patients, who underwent transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) between 2008 and 2015, for lower urinary tract symptoms with BPE with bladder underactivity. Clinical history, physical examination, renal function test, urinalysis, cystourethroscopy, transabdominal or transrectal ultrasonography, and urodynamic study were recorded.

What is the fate of insignificant residual fragment following percutaneous nephrolithotomy in pediatric patients with anomalous kidney? A comparison with normal kidney.

Pediatric population has increasing incidence of renal calculus and it is estimated to be around 50/10,000 population. The treatment of choice for large and complex stone in anomalous kidney is percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). The fate of insignificant residual fragment after PCNL in pediatric patients is not well documented.

Prospective randomized comparison between fluoroscopy-guided ureteroscopy versus ureteroscopy with real-time ultrasonography for the management of ureteral stones.

Context And Aims: Ureteroscopy is the definitive management for ureteric stone. Conventional ureteroscopy uses fluoroscopy guidance which has radiation exposure to patients as well as hospital staff. Ultrasound is a good radiation-free alternative for using in the urological procedure.

Is normal saline the best irrigation fluid to be used during percutaneous nephrolithotomy in renal failure patient? A prospective randomized controlled trial.

Objective: Endoscopic procedures like percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) needs continuous irrigation for better vision and to wash away stone fragments and blood clots. Systemic absorption of irrigation fluids may lead to fluid overload and electrolyte disequilibrium. Renal failure patients are more prone to these electrolyte disturbances.
