Conquering new battlegrounds: Successful management of isolated giant retrovesical hydatid cyst with robotic assistance.

Hydatid disease (HD) is an accidental human parasitic infestation by cestodes and is most commonly caused by Echinococcus granulosus. Liver happens to be the most common site of involvement, although involvement of other organ symptoms is not uncommon. Involvement of the retrovesical pouch by hydatidosis is generally secondary in nature with an incidence of 0.

Large spontaneous steinstrasse: Our experience and management issues in tertiary care centre.

Background: Steinstrasse, is described as array of stone pieces in the ureter following extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (SWL). It is well-recognized, transient event. Steinstrasse clears spontaneously, however about 6% require intervention.

Supernumerary Kidney with Stone: Successfully Managed with Semirigid Ureteroscopy and Laser Lithotripsy.

Supernumerary kidney is a rare anomaly. Not >100 cases have been reported. It was defined by Geisinger as the "free accessory organ," which is a distinct, encapsulated, large, or small parenchymatous mass topographically related to the usual kidney by a loose cellular attachment at most and often by no attachment at times.

A rare indication of robot-assisted uretero-ureterostomy: ovarian vein syndrome.

Ovarian vein syndrome is a rare cause of ureteral obstruction. Most of these cases occur during pregnancy likely from the gravid uterus causing ovarian vein dilatation and valvular incompetence. Hormonal changes associated with pregnancy also affect the muscular wall of ureter, causing decrease in tone and may facilitate compression as well.

Utility of restage transurethral resection of bladder tumor.

Introduction: Transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) aims at complete resection of all the visible tumors. Existing guidelines recommend restage TURBT in all patients with T1 and high-grade tumors, to avoid under-staging. However, restage TURBT may not be plausible/feasible at all the times.

Bilateral simultaneous "Santosh Post-graduate Institute tubularized flap pyelovesicostomy" in a case of bilateral pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction with bilateral giant hydronephrosis.

We present a case of bilateral giant hydronephrosis (HDN) secondary to bilateral pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction (PUJO) in a young girl, managed successfully by robot-assisted bilateral tubularized flap pyelo-vesicostomy. This case report highlights the feasibility, reproducibility and technicalities of this procedure.
