We present an extremely infrequent urologic entity of asymptomatic double-blind ureteral duplication in an 8-year-old girl. Contemporary imaging modalities provided major assistance in the diagnosis. Surgical management is advocated because of the potential for future complications, such as lithiasis, obstruction of the collecting system, and renal failure.

Background: Effective postoperative analgesia enhances the patient's comfort and facilitates early mobilization and recovery.
Objective: This study compared the analgesic efficacy of the erector spinae plane block (ESPB), thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB), and quadratus lumborum block (QLB) for pelvi-ureteric surgeries. The primary outcome measure in the study was the total morphine consumption during the first 48 hours following the operation.
Clinical Efficacy of Intravenous Papaverine plus Ketorolac in the Emergency Treatment of Renal Colic: A Randomized, Double-blind Clinical Trial.

Background: Acute renal colic has been challenging and has brought many concerns for physicians and patients for centuries. This study aimed to evaluate the analgesic effect and safety of a combination of papaverine and ketorolac against ketorolac and placebo in treating acute renal colic.
Methods: This randomized clinical trial was performed in patients with renal colic from May 2018 to May 2020 in Ahvaz, Iran.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the safety and effectiveness of intelligent intrarenal pressure control versus traditional methods in treating renal stones under 2 cm, involving 60 patients in a randomized, controlled trial from November 2023 to July 2024.
- - Results showed that the intelligent pressure control group took longer for procedures (average 52.5 minutes) compared to the traditional group (46 minutes), with a lower stone-free rate on the first postoperative day (73.33% vs. 93.33%).
- - Despite similar outcomes in stone clearance after two months and low rates of complications for both methods, the traditional approach resulted in lower overall hospitalization costs compared to the intelligent pressure control method.
Comparing Thermal Damage Using Monopolar Hook Versus Harmonic Scalpel in Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy; A Double-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial.

Article Synopsis
- A clinical trial was conducted with 78 women undergoing total laparoscopic hysterectomy to compare the effects of two surgical devices: monopolar hook and harmonic scalpel.
- The primary focus was to measure the thermal damage to cervicovaginal tissues, finding that the monopolar device caused significantly more tissue damage in the right lateral cuff region.
- The harmonic scalpel resulted in less thermal injury, which is crucial for preventing complications, especially in overweight or obese patients.
UROPOT: study protocol for a randomized, double-blind phase I/II trial for metabolism-based potentiation of antimicrobial prophylaxis in the urological tract.

Infectious Diseases Service, Internal Medicine, Lausanne University Hospital and University of Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland.
Background: Urinary tract catheters, including Double-J or ureteral stents, are prone to bacterial colonization forming biofilms and leading to asymptomatic bacteriuria. In the context of asymptomatic bacteriuria, endourological procedures causing mucosa-inducing lesions can lead to severe infections. Antibiotic prophylaxis is warranted, yet its efficacy is limited by biofilm formation on stents.
