Renal ectopia is a developmental anomaly with pelvic kidney being the commonest location (55%). The incidence of uretero-pelvis junction (UPJ) obstruction, nephrolithiasis, and reflux are higher in ectopic kidneys than their counterparts. We herein report a case of left ectopic pelvic kidney with large stone associated with UPJ narrowing managed successfully simultaneously with laparoscopic transmesocolic pyelolithotomy and pyeloplasty in a 45-year female.

Our aim was to retrospectively evaluate the outcome of Jordan meatoplasty in the management of fossa navicularis strictures.
Material And Methods: A total of 25 patients who underwent Jordan meatoplasty for the management of fossa navicularis strictures between 2011 and 2016 were retrospectively reviewed.
Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of tadalafil (a phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor) compared to tamsulosin (an α-1 blocker) for treating distal ureteric stones, as part of medical expulsive therapy.
- The research involved 207 patients with stones sized 5-10 mm, who were randomly assigned to receive either tadalafil or tamsulosin for up to 4 weeks, with various outcomes measured like stone expulsion rate and pain management.
- Results indicated that tadalafil had a higher stone expulsion rate (84%) and a shorter expulsion time (14.7 days) than tamsulosin (68% rate, 16.8 days), along with better pain control
