AI Article Synopsis
- The study examines the safety and effectiveness of using ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy to treat kidney stones after Yang-Monti ileal ureter reconstruction.
- A 48-year-old man who had previously undergone this reconstruction developed stones in the lower ureter and kidneys, requiring intervention after conservative treatment failed.
- The successful removal of the stones indicates that this combined treatment approach can be an effective option for managing urinary stones post-surgery.
Article Abstract
Background: The development of ureteral calculi after Yang-Monti ileal ureter reconstruction has not been reported. This study was performed to explore the safety and effectiveness of ureteroscopy combined with laser lithotripsy in the treatment of ipsilateral lower ureteral calculi and lower calyceal calculi after Yang-Monti ileal ureter reconstruction.
Case Presentation: A 48-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with ipsilateral distal ureteral calculi and ipsilateral lower calyceal calculi. One year prior to this admission, the patient had undergone Yang-Monti ileal ureter reconstruction due to long-segment ureteral stenosis. After conservative treatment failed, we used a rigid ureteroscope with a holmium laser to break up the distal ureteral calculi, and successfully removed the renal calculi with a digital flexible ureteroscope and basket extractor.
Conclusion: The successful outcome of the present case suggests that ureteroscopy combined with laser lithotripsy is a valuable option for the management of urinary calculi following Yang-Monti ileal ureter reconstruction.

False-positive urine pregnancy screening tests are uncommon in the hospital setting among patients with bowel-containing urinary tract reconstruction.

Purpose: False-positive urine pregnancy screening tests (UPST) have been reported among patients with bowel-containing urinary reconstruction (BCUR). However, the true frequency of such inaccurate results, which have been attributed to urinary mucous or other proteins interfering with or mimicking the binding of beta-HCG in the assay, is unknown in this population. We sought to determine the incidence of false-positive pregnancy screening tests among this patient population at our institution.

Background: No clear consensus has been reached on the reconstruction of long-segment or total ureter discontinuation. Here we present our experience using the Yang-Monti technique in total ureter reconstruction.
Methods: This study was a single-center retrospective study of patients who underwent Yang-Monti ileal whole ureter reconstruction (from the ureteropelvic junction[UPJ] to the ureterovesical junction).
Case report: A case of neoadjuvant immunotherapy in combination with the Yang-Monti technique for the treatment of ureteral carcinoma after radical cystectomy and left radical nephroureterectomy.

Article Synopsis
- * The case study details a 74-year-old man with recurrent urothelial carcinoma who received neoadjuvant immunotherapy (tislelizumab) after being initially unfit for surgery, showing a partial response to treatment.
- * Following immunotherapy, the patient successfully underwent segmental ureter resection using the Yang-Monti technique and has maintained disease-free status and good kidney function for over 18 months.
There are many causesof ureteral injury being the main one iatrogenic.The reconstruction depends on the injury´s locationand length. In some complex cases, we must do ureteralreconstructions using bowel segments.

We present a video case report of a pediatric patient with previous robotic abdominal surgery who underwent robotic assisted Monti-Yang continent ileovesicostomy. This 10-year-old female had a history of spina bifida, with previous myelomeningocele repair and ventriculoperitoneal shunt as an infant and robotic-assisted Malone procedure and artificial urethral sphincter placed 4 years ago. After undergoing bilateral hip surgery, she presented with difficult urethral catheterization due to reduced leg mobility.
