The intrauterine device (IUD) is an important and highly effective means of contraception. Migration of the IUD, post implantation, out of the uterus is an infrequent complication, and its subsequent migration into the urinary bladder with formation of secondary bladder calculi, is even more infrequently reported. The authors report a 51 year old woman who had had her last child delivered via cesarean section 16 years ago.

North Carolina Veterinary Hospital, College of Veterinary Medicine, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, North Carolina, USA.

Background: Urocystolithiasis is a common problem in dogs; many canine uroliths are resistant to medical dissolution. Novel management options would expand, and in some cases improve, current urolith retrieval strategies.

Hypothesis/objectives: To describe a previously unreported technique by the Ellik bladder evacuator (EE) to assist in minimally invasive, cystoscopic retrieval of canine cystoliths.

Purpose: Optimal laser settings during endoscopic stone disease management still represents a debatable issue. The aim of this systematic review is to summarize all existing evidence regarding the comparison of high-power (HP) versus low-power (LP) laser settings during different endoscopic lithotripsy procedures.

Methods: PubMed, Scopus and Cochrane databases were systematically screened, based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) Guidelines.

Article Synopsis
  • * Imaging tests revealed a significant mass in the left bladder and a nonfunctional right kidney, leading to surgical removal of both the kidney and part of the bladder.
  • * The final diagnosis was a bladder glomus tumor, and the patient remains healthy with no signs of recurrence after 15 months, underscoring the need for urologists to consider glomus tumors in their diagnostic process.
