Long-term evaluation of modified orthotopic Y-shaped ileal neobladder (Tanta pouch) with left retro-colic chimney.

Purpose: In the present study, we evaluated the long-term results of modified Y-shaped orthotopic ileal neobladder (Tanta pouch) with trans-mesenteric left retro-colic chimney.

Patients And Methods: A total of 70 patients with invasive bladder cancer underwent radical cystectomy and modified Y-shaped orthotopic ileal neobladder. (The left chimney elongated to pass to the left side through a window in the mesentery of the pelvic colon and the ureters were implanted directly end to side, in both chimneys after doing good spatulation.

Management of 'forgotten' encrusted JJ stents using extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy: A single-centre experience.

: To evaluate the role of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) for the management of 'forgotten' encrusted stents. : This is a retrospective study of 133 patients with forgotten JJ stents, treated between January 2015 and January 2018. Encrustation was mainly found in the renal coil of the stent with distal concomitant encrustation in the vesical and/or ureteric segment.

The development of ureteric strictures after ureteroscopic treatment for ureteric calculi: A long-term study at two academic centres.

Objective: To determine the incidence of symptomatic and 'silent' obstruction after ureteroscopic procedures.

Patients And Methods: In all, 1980 patients underwent ureteroscopy for ureteric calculi in two large centres. The methods of disintegration, auxiliary procedures used and type of stenting were considered.
