Massive perinephric hematoma - A rare complication of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy.

Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is commonly used to fragment renal calculi. This treatment modality is considered safe with minimal complications. We report a case of massive retroperitoneal hematoma following extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy in a patient with no comorbidity and normal coagulation parameters.

Comparative study of tamsulosin versus tadalafil in benign prostatic hyperplasia patients with lower urinary tract symptoms. A prospective randomized study.

Introduction: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the common causes of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in aging men. Men with LUTS have a higher incidence of erectile dysfunction (ED), and LUTS themselves represent an independent risk factor for ED, triggering a significant negative impact on quality of life.

Materials And Methods: A total of 92 patients were randomly assigned to two groups.

Massive renal infarction due to spontaneous renal artery thrombosis-a rare case report.

Spontaneous renal artery thrombosis is a rare medical emergency. The signs and symptoms of the disease are variable and non specific making it difficult to diagnose on time and easily missed for other more common pathologies. Proper evaluation and timely intervention can prevent the loss of renal function.

A childhood blast victim presenting with bladder stone in adulthood-A rare case report of retained blast fragment with secondary stone.

Secondary bladder stones in young adults are usually a result of bladder outlet obstruction secondary to urethral stricture disease or neurogenic bladder. Foreign body inside bladder is a perfect nidus for the development of secondary bladder stone. We report a rare case of bladder stone in a young adult developing on the retained blast fragment inside bladder.

Dead bone in bladder- sequestrum perforating into urinary bladder leading to hydroureteronephrosis masquerading as bladder calculus.

Sequestrum formation is a known complication of osteomyelitis. This is usually a source of chronic non resolving infection and inflammation. We present a rare case of pelvic sequestrum following septic arthritis of hip joint invading into the urinary bladder mimicking a bladder calculus and leading to hydroureteronephrosis.

Laser Myringotomy Versus Ventilation Tubes In Otitis Media With Effusion.

Background: Otitis media with effusion (OME) is a leading cause of difficulty in hearing in paediatric population. Otitis media with effusion must be detected and managed early to prevent conductive hearing loss in children. It was aimed to compare results of laser myringotomy and ventilation tube insertion, in terms of hearing improvement and recurrence of Middle ear effusion (MEE).
