Article Synopsis
- * 110 patients were analyzed, showing no significant differences in blood loss or hemoglobin drop; however, those in the tubed group experienced more hematuria, pain, and required more analgesia, as well as longer hospital stays.
- * Results suggest that tubeless PCNL, accompanied by tract inspection and cauterization, leads to safer outcomes, less postoperative pain, and allows for same-day discharge from the hospital.
A 27-year woman presented with irritative lower urinary tract symptoms and alleged small right distal ureteric stone that had been diagnosed with KUB and non-contrast spiral CT. Patient was scheduled for ureteroscopic lithotripsy, revealing absence of the presumed stone, while cystoscopy showed unexpected 2 cm pedunculated grayish white lesion, situated on the right lateral wall of the bladder with sparse hairs covering it. An incomplete TURBT was done; the histological findings correlated with the gross picture seen on cystoscopy.

Methods: After institutional review board approval, we retrospectively evaluated the expression of β-catenin and SKP2 proteins in tissue specimens from patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) and compared their results with a cohort of chronic nonspecific cystitis's. Then we and explored these markers association with tumor grade and stage.
