Article Synopsis
- About 3% of pregnancies experience symptomatic hydronephrosis, which can lead to serious complications including premature labor, fetal loss, and the need for cesarean sections.
- A study analyzed 24 relevant articles to propose a standardized approach for managing acute upper tract issues in pregnant patients, emphasizing the use of ultrasound as the primary diagnostic tool.
- The recommended management includes conservative treatments for well patients, with surgical options like ureteral stenting or nephrostomy reserved for more severe cases, all while ensuring informed consent and shared decision-making among the care team.
Objectives: Following the first hearttransplantin Ireland in 1985, there have been almost 700 deceased donor heart and lung transplants carried out in Ireland at a single institution. In this retrospective study, our aim was to assess the incidence and management of urological malignancies arising in this national cohort.
Materials And Methods: Our retrospective analysis included all heart and lung transplant recipients identified as having a urological malignancy.
A 26-year-old male presented with an obstructing calculus in the mid superior-moiety ureter in a duplicated urinary collecting-system. A sequela of the obstruction resulted in a symptomatic stricture in a functional superior-moiety ureter, unresponsive to endoscopic interventions. An ipsilateral robot-assisted laparoscopic side-to-side ureteroureterostomy was performed thus bypassing the stricture in the superior-moiety ureter.
