Anatomy and anatomical variations of adrenal veins and its application to adrenal venous sampling.

Purpose: Our aim was to study the anatomy of the left and right main adrenal veins (LAV and RAV) and to identify their anatomical variations in order to see the practical application of these findings to adrenal venous sampling (AVS).

Methods: Our work is based on dissection of 80 adrenal glands from fresh corpses in the forensic medicine department. We studied the number, the drainage, the direction and the level of termination of the main adrenal veins.

Risk factors for sepsis and mortality in patients with emphysematous pyelonephritis : a series of 68 cases (case series).

Background: Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) is a rare and severe necrotizing infection of the kidney with a high rate of complications and mortality. Our aim was to investigate risk factors of urosepsis and mortality in case of EPN.

Materials And Methods: Between January 2010 and December 2022 the charts of patients diagnosed with EPN were retrospectively reviewed.

A cadaveric anatomical study of the adrenals: vascular relationship.

The adrenal gland is a retroperitoneal organ with intimate relationships with neighboring organs but also with the large retroperitoneal vessels. Our aim was to study the vascular relationships of the adrenal gland with the large abdominal vessels. Our work is an anatomical dissection of 80 fresh cadaveric adrenals.

Isolated ureteral injury from multiple stab wounds: A case report.

This is a case report about a 44-year-old woman who sustained multiple stab wounds, resulting in an isolated right ureteral injury. Despite a precise diagnosis from an urgent CT scan showing contrast material extravasation, the patient's stable vital signs allowed for a thorough surgical exploration, leading to an accurate diagnosis. Immediate surgical repair of the right ureter using an end-to-end anastomosis following precise surgical principles achieved complete restoration of the initial injuries.

Retroperitoneal ganglioneuroma: A five-case series from a single Tunisian center.

Introduction And Importance: Retroperitoneal ganglioneuroma is an infrequent, benign tumor originating from the sympathetic nervous system. The diagnosis predominantly relies on histological assessment, often as an incidental discovery. Surgical removal stands as the primary treatment modality, and the overall prognosis tends to be favorable.

Inflammatory suppurated tumor of urachus mimicking a malignant urachus adenocarcinoma.

This is a case report about a patient presenting with a urachal mass mimicking a urachus adenocarcinoma. Cystoscopy showed a vesicourachal patent diverticulum. Histological findings after the removal of the umbilicus, urachus, urachal tumor, as well as a bladder cuff, consisted of a nonspecific polymorphous suppurative inflammatory infiltrate.

Can radiological scores predict difficulties in removal of encrusted ureteral stents?

In the present study, we aimed to report our single-center experience in encrusted ureteral stent management and to compare the utility of two different scoring systems in patient management. This is a retrospective study of patients who underwent various surgical procedures to remove encrusted ureteral stent. Encrusted stent grading was performed using KUB and FECal grading sytems.

Management of blunt renal trauma on pre-existing diseased kidneys: a cross-sectional study.

Unlabelled: Pathological kidney trauma is a special entity. Congenital or acquired lesions may interfere with clinical presentation, radiological imaging, and the therapeutic approach.

Objective: Our objective was to determine the clinical, radiological, and therapeutic features of this entity.

Coexistence of multiple clear cell papillary renal cell carcinoma with renal oncocytoma: a case report.

Unlabelled: Clear cell papillary renal cell carcinoma (CCPRCC) is a new entity, previously known as unclassified renal cell carcinoma, and initiallly identified in patients suffering of end-stage kidney failure. It is extremely rare to see this new entity associated with others renal malignant lesions.

Case Presentation: The authors report a case of a female 65-year-old suffering from end-stage kidney failure for 10 years, who presented with a double left renal tumor, composed by an oncocytoma associated to multiple CCPRCC, a very rare entity.

Retrovesical hydatid cyst: an unusual location of hydatid disease about a case series.

Unlabelled: Hydatid disease is an endemic zoonosis in regions with temperate climates where pastoral farming is common. Retrovesical localization is rare. Given the rarity of this entity, the lack of personal clinical experience, and the difficulty with detecting early symptoms, the diagnosis remains elusive for years.

Oncocytoma with a vascular extension, associated with a papillary carcinoma: A case report.

This is a case report about a patient which presents with two right renal tumors, one of them being an oncocytoma with typical histopathological features and renal vein extension. Recent studies show that despite renal vein thrombus being a histological sign of malignancy; when associated with renal oncocytoma, it should not alter the benign prognosis of oncocytoma, and a simple follow-up may be carried. Further explorations should be done when easily available, and when the histopathologic diagnosis of oncocytoma is uncertain, to rule out the differential diagnosis of a chromophobe renal cell carcinoma, oncocytic variant.

Air gun accident: A case report of a penile injury.

Air rifle, although considered as a toy, can cause injuries ranging from trivial to very grievous. The severity of injuries depends on the type of air rifle, the distance of firing, and the anatomic site at which the bullet hits. We present a case involving a young boy, who was accidently hit by an air rifle while playing.

Two brothers with congenital bulbar urethral stricture: case report of a very rare condition.

Congenital urethral stricture is rare. It has been reported in only four sets of brothers. We report the fifth set of brothers.

Segmental testicular infarction: A case report of a rare condition.

Segmental testicular infarction(STI) is a rare unknown condition. Clinical presentation is non-specific and management is unconsensual. We report clinical and surgical management of a segmental testicular infarction.

Testicular recurrence of oligometastatic prostatic adenocarcinoma after 22 years of androgen deprivation therapy.

Testicular metastasis of carcinoma is a rare condition. We report a rare case of right testicular metastasis of prostatic adenocarcinoma in an 84 years old patient, after more than 20 years of controlled disease under androgen deprivation therapy. Follow-up consisted in PSA monitoring, clinical examination, CT and bone scan.

A cadaveric anatomical study: anatomy and anatomical variations of left adrenal vein.

Purpose: Control of adrenal vein is the key of adrenal surgery. Its anatomy can present variations. Our aim was to study the anatomy of the main left adrenal vein (LAV) and its anatomical variations.

Bladder exstrophy in adulthood: About a case report.

Bladder exstrophy is a severe malformation characterized by the lack of the anterior sub-umbilical abdominal wall, and the front wall of the bladder. We present a rare case of a 26-year-old woman without any previous medical or surgical history, that we treated for bladder exstrophy. We performed an iliac osteotomy, bladder enlargement using the ileum and a Monti-type continent urinary derivation and a Promentofixation.

A Mislocated Intrauterine Device Migrating to the Urinary Bladder: An Uncommon Complication Leading to Stone Formation.

Intrauterine devices are a popular form of reversible contraception among women. Its administration can lead to some uncommon but serious complications such as perforation leading to its migration into adjacent organs. Like any foreign body, the presence of an IUD in the bladder can result in stone formation due to its lithogenic potential.

Adrenal solitary fibrous tumor: A case report.

Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare spindle cell neoplasm, originally described in the pleural cavity. It may also occur in extrapleural organs like adrenal gland. We present a case of a fifty two-year old Arab man who has been admitted in urology department for right lumbar pain.

Non Typhoidal Salmonella Pyonephrosis in an Asymptomatic Immunocompetent Patient.

A 50-year-old man with no past medical history presented with 5 months history of right flank discomfort. Physical examination was unremarkable. CT-scan showed a large right renal pelvic calculi and upper pole hydronephrosis.
