Ureterovaginal fistula: a case report and review of an unexpected contemporary complication secondary to transvaginal ultrasound-guided oocyte retrieval.

Despite the widespread use of transvaginal ultrasound-guided oocyte retrieval in assisted reproductive technology procedures, there is a lack of systematic data on the incidence and nature of its complications. This makes it difficult for healthcare providers to fully understand and manage the risks associated with the procedure, and for patients to make informed decisions about their care. Ureteral injuries and other complications during oocyte retrieval are important to consider and manage appropriately.

A large series of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy in the very elderly.

Background: The incidence of urinary lithiasis has been increasing in recent decades at all ages, including the elderly. In parallel, the world population is aging and there is a paucity of data on treatment of urinary stones in very elderly people. Our main objective was to evaluate the effects of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) in patients older than 75 years, and the characteristics of this population.
