DIFFERENT APPROACHES TO MANAGING UROLITHIASIS IN KIDNEY TRANSPLANT PATIENTS - A CASE REPORT.

Urolithiasis is a rare urologic complication after kidney transplantation, and its diagnosis and treatment can be challenging for clinicians. In our 52-year-old male patient, graft hydronephrosis was found six months after transplantation. The patient had recurrent urinary tract infections followed by macrohematuria and an increase in creatinine levels.

Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter Surgery using Transversus Abdominis Plane Block.

Background: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter surgery can be performed using regional anesthesia. We present our PD catheter placement and extraction experience using ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block.

Methods: In the present study, we analyzed 74 patients from our center with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who underwent PD catheter placement (60 patients) and removal (14 patients) using a TAP block between June 2011 and December 2015.

10-year survival of a patient with metastatic prostate cancer: Case report and literature review.

Prostate cancer is the most common malignancy in men. The 5-year relative survival for all stages combined is 98.8%.

[OUR RESULTS IN LAPAROSCOPIC-ASSISTED PLACEMENT OF PERITONEAL DIALYSIS CATHETERS: TEN-YEAR EXPERIENCE].

The aim was to analyze our results and complications in laparoscopic-assisted placement of the Tenckhoff catheter for peritoneal dialysis in comparison with results reported in the literature. Fifty patients were included in this retrospective analysis. From January 2000 to November 2010, they underwent laparoscopic-assisted placement of catheter for peritonea dialysis at the University Department of Surgery, Rijeka University Hospital Center.

Transurethral incision of the bladder neck in a woman with primary bladder neck obstruction after kidney transplantation.

Voiding dysfunction is frequently seen in the early posttransplant period. Among other causes, this condition can arise due to bladder outlet obstruction. Primary bladder neck obstruction (PBNO) is a possible but very rare cause of bladder outlet obstruction.

Surgical treatment of kidney cancer in elderly.

The aim of this study was to analyze our patients over the age of 70 suffering from kidney cancer that had undergone surgical treatment. During the 2000-2012 period 634 patients with kidney cancer were treated, 197 of whom were over the age of 70. In this group there were 117 (59.

Transurethral bladder neck incision in women with primary bladder neck obstruction.

Background: Bladder outlet obstruction is an uncommon condition in women. Primary bladder neck obstruction is one of the functional causes of bladder outlet obstruction. We evaluated surgical treatment in our patients with primary bladder neck obstruction.

[The role of CT peritoneography as diagnostic tool in patient on peritoneal dialysis with dialysate leakage].

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) can be considered as first method for dialytic treatment because improved quality of life and patient survival compared to hemodialysis. The most frequent complications of PD are peritonitis, peritoneal catheter exit site infection and mechanical complications as dialysate leakage. We present a 62 year old female patient with end-stage renal disease caused by poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis.

Radical surgical treatment of the urinary bladder cancer in patients over the age of 60--our experiences.

The goal of the paper was the analysis of patients over the age of 60 suffering from the urinary bladder cancer that underwent radical surgical treatment of the urinary bladder and establishing urine derivation. In the 1972-2008 period 2405 patients with the urinary bladder cancer were treated, 296 (12.3%) of whom underwent radical surgical treatment.

Modified extensive anterior vaginal wall repair for cystocoele.

We describe a new transvaginal technique for cystocoele repair. We prospectively evaluated patients with moderate and high-grade cystocoele who underwent repair with the new transvaginal repair between 2000 and June 2009. Preoperative evaluation included history and physical examination using the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification, urine culture, residual urine measurement, urodinamycs and cystoscopy.
