Renal fusion anomalies are detected incidentally on imaging, with horseshoe kidney being the most common followed by crossed renal ectopia. We report a rare congenital anomaly of renal pyelic fusion with a solitary ureter. Both the renal units were in the normal position and location. This rare anomaly was associated with lumbar vertebral defects, neurogenic bladder, vesico-ureteric reflux, upper tract dilatation and recurrent urinary tract infections.

Article Synopsis
- Urosepsis is a common complication following flexible ureterorenoscopy (F-URS), occurring in up to 4.3% of cases and accounting for significant healthcare costs.
- A study involving 486 F-URS procedures at eleven French centers evaluated clinical factors that increase the risk of urosepsis, identifying key risk indicators.
- Results indicated that a type IV calculus (carbapatite or struvite), along with factors like coronary insufficiency and larger stone size, significantly increase the risk of post-operative urosepsis, emphasizing the need for enhanced monitoring in these cases.

Synovialosarcoma is a malignant mesenchymal tumor of young adults that occurs in the deep soft tissues, particularly around large joints. When it occurs in more unusual sites, it could present a significant diagnostic challenge. In this case, a 19-year-old girl was treated for a pyloric mass.

Background: Acute obstructive pyelonephritis due to urolithiasis represents a medico-surgical emergency that can lead to life-threatening complications. There are still no established factors that reliably predict progression toward acute pyelonephritis in patients presenting with a simple renal colic.
Objective: To investigate clinical and paraclinical factors that are associated with the onset of acute obstructive pyelonephritis.
Single-use flexible ureteroscopes (SU-fURS) seems to overcome the main limitations of conventional reusable ureteroscopes in terms of acquisition and maintenance costs and breakages. Our aim was to analyz the efficiency and safety of the thinnest single use flexible scope from Pusen: Uscope Pusen, PU 3033A (Tip = 7.5 Fr.
