Microureteroscopy in Children: Two First Cases.

Background: Urinary stones disease is becoming more common not only in adults but also in children. Most cases are resolved with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, but miniaturization of endoscopes has increased the use of ureteroscopy in resolving ureteral stones, most notably in children.

Case Presentation: This presentation focuses on two cases of microureteroscopy.

Quality of life of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH): endoscopic surgery versus laser therapy.

Objective: To compare the results observed in the quality of life of patients after transurethral prostate resection (bipolar TUR) or laser therapy.

Methods: This is a retrospective observational cohort study: one cohort includes patients who underwent endoscopic surgery, and the other patients undergoing laser therapy (vaporization). A total of 106 patients were included, divided into two cohorts.

Incidence of infectious complications after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy in patients without associated risk factors.

Purpose: We determined the incidence of infectious complications (asymptomatic bacteriuria, urinary tract infection and urosepsis) in patients without associated risk factors treated with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy.

Materials And Methods: We performed an observational, prospective cohort study between October 2010 and June 2013. We included all patients without risk factors who were treated with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy for kidney or ureteral lithiasis.

[Renal allograft rupture: case report and bibliographic review].

Objective: To improve the knowledge about complications of renal transplantation and, in particular, graft rupture.

Methods: Case report and literature review.

Outcome: We present the case of a 37 year-old patient receiving a second renal transplant.
