Renal Transplant in a Child With the Donor Kidney Having 2 Renal Arteries.

Kidney transplant has become the preferred renal replacement therapy for children with end-stage renal disease. The results of kidney transplant have improved enormously due to advances in organ procurement, organ preservation, surgical techniques, and immunosuppressive regimens. Renal transplant is a more cost-effective method versus hemodialysis and provides better quality of life.

Postpercutaneous Nephrolithotomy Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction.

Percutaneous endoscopic renal surgery such as percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a safe and effective treatment for patients with large and/or complex renal calculi. However, a unique set of complications can occur with this surgical approach that may involve the targeted kidney and surrounding structures. Renal collecting system obstruction after PCNL is rare, but may result from ureteral avulsion, stricture formation, transient mucosal edema, blood clot, or infundibular stenosis.

Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy in an Elderly Female with Severe Kyphoscoliosis: Modified Prone Position.

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is one of the important options in the management of large (>2 cms) and complex renal calculi. Traditionally the prone position has been used to access the pelvicaliceal system as well as to remove renal calculi. Several modifications to this position have been suggested and reported by several urologists.

Bleeding angiomyolipoma mimiking a ruptured adrenal tumour.

Angiomyolipoma is a benign neoplasm of the kidney, and is the most common renal tumour associated with haemorrhage. Risk of bleeding increases with the size of the angiomyolipoma. We report a case of spontaneous bleeding from an upper polar renal angiomyolipoma mimicking a spontaneous adrenal bleed from a pheochromocytoma.

Repair of recto-urethral fistula with urethral augmentation by buccal mucosal graft and gracilis muscle flap interposition - our experience.

Introduction: Recto-urethral fistula (RUF) is a relatively rare surgical condition, the treatment of which is quite challenging. There are many causes of RUF, but 60% of them are iatrogenic following open prostatectomies, radiotherapy, brachytherapy, urethral instrumentation etc. We present a series of six cases treated at our institution.

Multiple neural tube defects: a rare combination of limited dorsal myeloschisis, diplomyelia with dorsal bony spur, sacral meningocoele, syringohydromyelia, and tethered cord.

Multiple neural tube defects are relatively rare. They account for less than 1% reported neural tube defects. Cases of limited dorsal myeloschisis (LDM) and diplomyelia (two cords in single sac without intervening bony or fibrous septae) with dorsal bony spur are also a rare event.
