Article Abstract
Urinary catheterization is a common procedure, particularly among patients with neurogenic bladder secondary to spinal cord injury. Urethral catheterization is associated with the well-recognized complications of catheter-associated urinary tract infections and limited genitourinary trauma. Unintentional ureteral cannulation represents a rare complication of urethral catheterization and has been previously described in only eight cases within the literature. We describe two cases of aberrant ureteral cannulation involving two patients with quadriplegia. These cases along with prior reports identify the spastic, insensate bladder and altered pelvic sensorium found in upper motor neuron syndromes as major risk factors for ureteral cannulation with a urinary catheter.

The utilization of a spare ureter to create a continent catheterizable channel to the bladder in pediatric patients.
J Pediatr Urol
January 2025
Clinic of Urology and Pediatric Urology, University Hospital Erlangen, Germany. Electronic address:
Introduction: Clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) has significant advantages over indwelling catheters. To facilitate CIC, a continent catheterizable channel (CCC) to the bladder is required in some cases. The Mitrofanoff appendicovesicostomy (APV) is considered the gold standard for pediatric CCC creation.

Alta Uro AG, Centralbahnplatz 6, 4051, Basel, Switzerland.
Purpose: Controversies exist regarding the prevailing spectrum of microorganisms in microbial ureteral stent colonization (MUSC) and their clinical significance. The aim of this comprehensive review is to determine the predominant microbial spectrum in patients with an indwelling ureteral stent in comparison to catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) and uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTI).
Methods: Google scholar, PubMed, Embase, Medline, and Cochrane literature databases were searched from inception to April 2022 to identify manuscripts on MUSC, uncomplicated UTI and CAUTI.

Urology Department, The First Affiliated Hospital, Hengyang Medical School, University of South China, China. Electronic address:
Introduction: Traditional Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) typically involves the retrograde placement of a ureteral catheter. However, this procedure can present additional risks in pediatric patients.
Case Presentation: We report a case of a 10-year-old boy, weighing 33 kg, diagnosed with a right upper ureteral stone complicated by hydronephrosis and urosepsis.

Article Synopsis
- - The case study highlights the importance of accurate diagnosis and personalized management in treating complex bladder injuries, specifically a patient with a significant Grade V injury.
- - In this instance, conservative treatment failed, leading to a decision for a less invasive procedure that involved using an external catheter, allowing the bladder to heal without exposure to urine.
- - The successful outcome of this innovative approach demonstrates that careful monitoring and customized treatment plans can lead to positive recovery even in challenging cases of bladder trauma.
A large vaginal stone on top of ureteric stent migration through a poucho-vaginal fistula after radical cystectomy and ileal neobladder reconstruction - A case report.
Int J Surg Case Rep

Radiology Department, Faculty of Medicine, Mansoura University, Mansoura, Egypt.
Introduction And Importance: Orthotopic neobladder reconstruction may be associated with complications such as neobladder-vaginal fistula (NVF) and uretero-ileal anastomotic stricture which are often managed using stents, though these can be prone to migration.
Case Presentation: We present a 69-year-old lady with a surgical history of radical cystectomy and ileal neobladder that was complicated by a left ureteric stricture and poucho-vaginal fistula for which she underwent a left ureteric stent and bilateral percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) insertions after which she lost to follow-up. The patient later presented to our center with a right subcostal anterior abdominal wall desmoid tumor for which she underwent wide local excision.
