Ultrasound-Guided Ureteral Stent Removal in Women.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to develop a fast, comfortable, and safe method of ureteral stent removal in women.

Methods: From February 2014 to July 2015, a retrospective multicenter controlled study including 82 female outpatients was conducted. The control group was composed of 46 patients who underwent stent removal using a 22F cystoscope.

Sculpturing in urology, or how to make percutaneous nephrolithotomy easier.

Purpose: To investigate the usefulness of Plasticine biomodeling in surgical percutaneous management of complex renal stone.

Patients And Methods: A total of 32 patients with complex renal stones (complete staghorn stones or partial staghorn stone with multiple caliceal stones) were included in this study from 2012 to 2013. Computed tomography (CT) urography with three-dimensional (3D) reconstructions was used as standard preoperative imaging in all patients.

Vesico-Acetabular Fistula and Urolithiasis in the Hip Joint Cavity due to Persistent Bladder Entrapment after Acetabular Fracture.

We report a rare case of vesico-acetabular fistula due to an improperly treated pelvic fracture with urinary stone formation in the joint cavity. This complication was related to an unrecognized mechanism of bladder wall entrapment in the acetabular floor defect during weight bearing. This situation led to several mistreatment decisions in our case and should be always considered by urologists dealing with patients after major pelvic trauma.
