Bilateral triple renal pelvis: a case report.

Introduction: Triple renal pelvis is an extremely rare variation of the renal collecting system. To the authors' knowledge, bilateral triple renal pelvis has not yet been described in the literature.

Case Report: A 55-year-old man was hospitalized due to papillary bladder cancer, detected on ultrasonography.

The dissolution of multiple renal uric acid stones via percutaneous nephrostomy in the patient with a solitary kidney.

Introduction: The dissolution of urinary stones could be performed in the patients with urinary obstruction caused by phosphate, or uric acid stones, through the percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN).

Case Report: A 27-year-old woman with complete obstruction of the solitary left kidney due to uric acid stones is presented. The woman was admitted in emergency unit due to anuria.

[Stricture recanalisation of the distal urether with various endoprothesis].

Introduction: Application of the metallic stents in the interventional uroradioligy is the result of continous development of the new generation methods percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN), ballon catheter dilatation (BCD), methal and covered stent application. Application of metal stents in the renal canal system was attempted in order to eliminate BCD and PCN--related limitations as well as poor therapeutic results of these methods in a number of etiopathogenic groups of urinary stasis. Years--long application of interventional uroradiology methods, until the development of metallic stengts had shown the following therapeutics facts: PCN is incapable to resolve the caus of urinary obstruction.

[Imaging capabilities in upper urothelial malignancies differentiation].

Unlabelled: Aim of our study is to analyze sensitivity and specificity of imaging procedures in characterization upper urothelial malignancies, according to algorithm suggested by American Urology Association.

Material And Methods: We analyzed 242 patients with kidney tumor masses who had been operated during 2006/2007 at Urological clinic in Belgrade. Due to pathohistological exam 210 patients had kidney parenchyma and 32 patients upper urothelial kidney tumor.

Border line cases and diagnostic doubts in definition kidney parenchymal and collecting tract neoplasia.

Aim of this work is to present cases of renal neoplasms where all available diagnostic modalities and control exams were applied, still explorative surgery was needed. Asymptomatic tissue mass with diagnostic findings of hypovascular renal cell carcinoma and renal pelvic carcinoma were inconclusive. While percutaneous CT guided biopsy is advisable in such cases, it was not performed due to central, hilar localization of the lesions and its small dimensions.

Stage T2 prostate cancer presented with high serum prostate specific antigen and nonspecific bone lesions.

Objective: To present the case of T2 prostate cancer (PCa) mimicking disseminated PCa that was successfully treated with radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP). PATIENT AND THE METHOD: The patient had prostate specific antigen (PSA) level higher than 30 ng/ml and multiple atypical lesions on bone scan. TRUS-guided biopsy proved small PCa, only in 1/18 biopsy cores, with Gleason grade 6 (3+3).

Interventional radiology methods of treating ureteral strictures developed on anastomoses after the radical cystectomy in Mainz pouch II and ileal conduit derivation.

Unlabelled: OBJECTIVE of this work is to evaluate interventional radiology modalities such as balloon catheter dilation (BCD) and stent insertion, as minimally invasive methods in treatment uretero-enteral anastomotic strictures.

Material And Method: Retrospective study enrolled 26 patients (pts) in whom percutaneous BCD (17 pts) and metal stent implantation (9 pts) were done. Study was conducted from June 2005 till August 2007 and included total amount of 470 pts operated during 4 year period from 2003 till 2007.

Local recurrence of bladder cancer after cystectomy with orthotopic bladder substitution and ileal conduit.

Objective: To present the local recurrence rates after radical cystectomy for advanced bladder cancer and to compare them between patients with orthotopic neobladder and ileal conduit.

Patients And Methods: 97 patients with radical cystectomy were analyzed: 75 patients with orthotopic ileal neobladder, operated from 1985. to 2006, and 22 patients with ileal conduit, operated from 2000.
