Endoscopic Treatment of Complete Ureterointestinal Stenosis Without Antegrade Ureteroscopy.

Ureterointestinal stenosis is a frequent complication after radical cystectomy, occurring in up to 10%-12% of cases. Endoscopic treatment of complete stenosis has been described through double access, with antegrade flexible ureteroscopy and simultaneous retrograde endoscopy through the intestinal diversion. We present a case of endoscopic treatment without use of antegrade ureteroscopy.

Dislodgement in Long-Term Patients with Nephrostomy Tube: Risk Factors and Comparative Analysis Between Two Catheter Designs.

To determine possible risk factors for accidental nephrostomy tube dislodgement and compare two different tube types in this context in patients with chronic catheters. We conducted a retrospective study of long-term patients with nephrostomy tube. We performed a comparative analysis, studying the possible variables that were related to catheter dislodgement.

Meckel's diverticulitis: a laparoscopic approach.

Meckel's diverticulum is an infrequent malformation (2% of the population) and the most frequent complication is bleeding followed by diverticulitis. This usually occurs with clinical signs and symptoms of acute appendicitis in adults. The diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion and is based on complementary tests in most cases (mainly CT).
