Surgical interventions in female urethral strictures: a comprehensive literature review.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Female urethral stricture (FUS) is an uncommon entity. Although there is no clinical consensus on the best modality of treatment, several studies have been published describing different techniques of FUS management. We carried out a literature review of the different surgical techniques used in the management of FUS and their results.

Same-day angiography and embolization in delayed hematuria following percutaneous nephrolithotomy: an effective, safe, and time-saving approach.

Purpose: To evaluate the results of prompt, same-day selective angiography and transcatheter angioembolization (TAE) on delayed post-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) hematuria.

Materials And Methods: Between 2011 and 2017, 21 patients with a mean age of 37 years (range, 21-60 years; males, 18) underwent digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and TAE to control delayed gross hematuria following PCNL. Discharged patients who following an uneventful PCNL presented to the emergency room with gross, brisk hematuria were included in the study and taken up for prompt, same-day DSA and same-session TAE with N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate glue, without resorting to any initial conservative measures.

Flank bulge following subcostal percutaneous nephrolithotomy.

Loss of tone of the anterolateral abdominal wall muscles due to denervation injury is quite common after open renal surgery by lumbotomy incision. Although rare, flank bulge following percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) after supracostal approach has been reported in literature. But pseudohernia after PCNL with subcostal access has not been reported yet.
