Article Abstract
Introduction: Giant hydronephrosis is a rare manifestation of upper urinary tract obstruction. On clinical examination, a colonic band of resonance is appreciated on percussion due to presence of transverse colon anterior to the renal lump. However, visualizing the colon on inspection is not reported in the literature.
Presentation Of Case: A 13-year-old girl presented with abdomen distension for a duration of two years. On clinical examination, the abdomen was grossly distended, with left side of abdomen more prominent. On inspection, the colonic impression was visualized. There was large cystic lump, above which, the colonic impression was observed. With percussion we could elicit the colonic band of resonance as well. Imaging and radionuclide scan revealed giant hydronephrosis of left kidney with poor function. Patient underwent a laparoscopic nephrectomy. Patient was discharged after 3 days.
Conclusion: Giant hydronephrosis can present as gross abdomen distension. The presence of colon anterior to the renal lump can be appreciated by inspection during the clinical examination.

Background: Aggressive angiomyxoma (AAM) is a rare benign mesenchymal tumor known for its aggressive behavior and high recurrence rates, with male cases of AAM being less frequently reported. This study presents a rare case of primary prostatic AAM characterized by a prostatic urethral mass obstructing the bladder outlet, resulting in acute renal dysfunction.

Background: Giant hydronephrosis as an rare condition is often caused by chronic ureteral obstruction. Nephroplication is a crucial procedure to improve urinary drainage in the kidney-sparing surgery for patients with giant hydronephrosis. However, traditional nephroplication via suturing kidney has technical difficulty and many potential risks.

Single-port laparoscopic technology has become increasingly more popular in China as economic levels and medical technology have both improved. The advantages of single-port laparoscopic technology, such as less surgical trauma, quick recovery and less postoperative skin scarring, have been unanimously recognized and appreciated by patients. However, this technology has not been developed in Africa, which has relatively limited medical and surgical resources.

Background: The authors report on a patient who presented with an extremely large presacral schwannoma and subsequent mass effect-induced hydronephrosis and kidney failure. To the authors' knowledge, this case represents the largest radiographically verified spinal schwannoma in the medical literature. The tumor presented here was more than three times as large as a typical giant schwannoma.

Implementing double-J (DJ) stents in urological practice helps to alleviate kidney and ureteral obstruction. The primary causes of neglecting a DJ stent typically involve inadequate counseling and poor patient compliance. Encrustations of neglected DJ stents present a significant challenge.
