A rare case of successful endoscopic management of a fibroepithelial polyp with intussusception of the ureter and periodic prolapse into bladder.

Fibroepithelial polyps of the ureter are rare non-epithelial benign tumours with a slight female predominance. They are primarily located in the upper left ureter, incidentally diagnosed in patients who are evaluated for gross haematuria or renal colic. Fibroepithelial polyps are traditionally managed by open surgery with resection of the polyp and its stalk or partial resection of the ureter.

A rare case of pelviureteric junction obstruction in the uncrossed kidney of a crossed fused renal ectopia.

Crossed renal ectopia with fusion is an extremely rare congenital anomaly with few reported cases of pelviureteric junction obstruction, which often involves the crossed-over kidney. To our knowledge, we describe the second case in literature to report an uncrossed kidney with pelviureteric junction obstruction and giant hydronephrosis, which obstructs the pelviureteric junction of the crossed-over kidney. The grossly hydronephrotic kidney was found to be poorly functioning and an aberrant crossing vessel was considered to be potentially involved, raising both diagnostic and management challenges.

Unusual Cystic Mass of Retrovesical Space: A Retrovesical Kidney.

Retrovesical cysts are very rare, with more reported cases being hydatid or seminal cyst. To our knowledge, no case of pelvic kidney revealed as cystic mass of the retrovesical space has been reported. We provide images of a direct retrovesical kidney in a 24-year-old patient who presented with lower urinary tract symptoms.

Transperitoneal Laparoscopic Pyelopyelostomy for Retrocaval Ureter without Excision of the Retrocaval Segment: Experience on Three Cases.

Introduction. Retrocaval ureter is a rare congenital anomaly. Open surgery was the classic treatment for this condition.

Ureteral stenting after uncomplicated ureteroscopy for distal ureteral stones: a randomized, controlled trial.

Objectives. We compared outcome and complications after uncomplicated ureteroscopic treatment of distal ureteral calculi with or without the use of ureteral stents. Materials and Methods.

Tuberculosis of the Spermatic Cord: Case Report.

The spermatic cord tuberculoma is uncommon, especially in its lower portion. Most cases were described in Japanese literature. We report a case of tuberculosis of the spermatic cord in a sexually active young man, revealed by a scrotal mass mimicking a tumor of the testicle and discuss the suitable diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, with preservation of the testes and the other sexual organs.

One-shot dilation in modified supine position for percutaneous nephrolithotomy: experience from over 300 cases.

Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility, safety and efficacy of one-shot dilation (OSD) in modified supine position percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL).

Materials And Methods: A total of 320 PCNL in a total of 291 patients were performed between October 2008 and July 2011. There were no specific exclusion criteria.

Genital self-amputation or the Klingsor syndrome: Successful non-microsurgical penile replantation.

Self-mutilations of the external genitals in psychiatric patients also known as Klingsor syndrome is a rare urologic trauma. Men with religious conflicts, low self-esteem, unresolved transsexual issues and feelings of guilt are the most vulnerable. This condition requires immediate surgical intervention.

Large impacted upper ureteral calculi: A comparative study between retrograde ureterolithotripsy and percutaneous antegrade ureterolithotripsy in the modified lateral position.

Context: The treatment for patients with large impacted proximal ureteral stone remains controversial, especially at institutions with limited resources.

Aim: The aim of this study is to compare and to evaluate the outcome and complications of two main treatment procedures for impacted proximal ureteral calculi, retrograde ureterolithotripsy (URS), and percutaneous antegrade ureterolithotripsy (Perc-URS).

Settings And Design: Our inclusion criteria were solitary, radiopaque calculi, >15 mm in size in a functioning renal unit.

Inguinal bladder hernia: four case analyses.

A study of four cases presenting as inguinal bladder hernia was performed based on a review of the clinical presentation, circumstances of diagnostics, and surgical management. The mean age of patients was 66.5 years.

"Knot stent": an unusual cause of acute renal failure in solitary kidney.

The insertion of indwelling ureteric stents is a routine procedure in urology practice. Complications secondary to the insertion of these stents have also increased, such as stent encrustation, stent fragmentation, stone formation, and recurrent urinary tract infections. Knot formation within the renal pelvis or in the coiled portion of the ureteral stent is an extremely rare condition, with less than 15 cases reported in literature.

La NLPC en décubitus dorsal modifié : notre expérience.

Unlabelled: RéSUMé: INTRODUCTION ET OBJECTIF :: La NLPC est conventionnellement réalisée en décubitus ventral. Cette position présente de nombreux inconvénients. Notre objectif était d'évaluer de façon prospective le caractère sûr et efficace de la NLPC en position de décubitus dorsal modifié (DDM).

[Retroperitoneal sarcoma: therapeutic and prognostic characteristics, report of 6 cases].

Retroperitoneal sarcoma is a rare solid tumor that accounts for less than 15% of soft tissue sarcoma. The authors conducted a retrospective study about 6 cases to evaluate the natural history of the tumors and the causes of treatment failure in an attempt to develop a rational approach to the management of the neoplasm. The histological grade and complete resection are the most important prognosis factors.

[Cystic lymphangioma in the adrenal gland: a case report].

Cystic lymphangioma of the adrenal gland are rarely encountered tumoural formations with no clinical expression. Pre-operative diagnosis is difficult. Echography and CT scan are essential exploratory techniques, diagnosis is histological.
