A 73-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for treatment of a 12 mm stone in the right ureteropelvic junction and pyonephrosis. A double-J ureteral stent was indwelled for right hydronephrosis and emphysematous pyelonephritis. After antibiotic treatment, flexible transurethral lithotripsy (f-TUL) was performed and all the stones were disintegrated and extracted without any complications. On the day after f-TUL, severe back pain occurred, and computed tomography revealed subcapsular hematoma and renal pseudoaneurysm. Angiography and selective embolization of the bleeding artery were performed to control the bleeding.

Purpose: Transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) is the initial staging procedure for new bladder cancers (BCs). For muscle-invasive bladder cancers (MIBCs), TURBT may delay definitive treatment. We investigated whether definitive treatment can be expedited for MIBC using flexible cystoscopic biopsy and multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) for initial staging.

Background: Hospitalization for Transurethral Prostate Resection (TURP) involves circadian rhythm disturbance - a possible cause of Postoperative Neurocognitive Disorder (POCD) in elderly patients. This study investigated whether melatonin ameliorated this effect.

Methods: A double-blind, randomized clinical trial used a battery of neuropsychological tests to evaluate cognitive performance of 118 patients aged ≥ 60, before TURP with spinal anesthesia, and at 21- and 180-days PO.

Background: The aim of this study was to describe the technique and initial outcomes of robot-assisted T-plasty for recalcitrant bladder neck stenosis.

Methods: Patients who underwent robot-assisted T-plasty for recalcitrant bladder neck stenosis in a single center were included. Presence of bladder neck stenosis was preoperatively confirmed by the combination of retrograde urethrography with voiding cysto-urethrography and flexible urethroscopy.

Introduction And Importance: Ureteric stump syndrome [USS] is a series of febrile recurrent lower abdominal pain, urinary tract infections, and hematuria that sometimes present with empyema as a rare complication. The ureteric stump is left after ureteric re-implantation due to an impacted stone at the Vesical-ureteric junction [VUJ], or after nephrectomy of a non-functional kidney due to a distal stone; the ureteral stump forms a source of infection to the urinary bladder, in addition to long-term obstructive stones left at the ureteric stamp. This usually cause chronic irritation of the mucosa and potentially change to metaplasia, dysplasia and malignancy.

Ketamine, a dissociative anesthetic drug, has gained popularity as a recreational substance, particularly among young adults. However, chronic ketamine abuse can lead to various complications including ketamine-induced cystitis. We present the case of a 46-year-old Caucasian male with a history of HIV infection and daily recreational ketamine use for 7 months, who was admitted to the emergency room with hypogastric pain and hematuria.
