60-year-old man with known chronic urinary retention (CUR) managed with clean intermittent catheterization (CIC); He presented with difficulty with CIC. A KUB revealed 13 cm in conglomeration bladder stones. Routine preoperative bloodwork revealed calcium >12 and a subsequent PTH was also elevated. Osteoporosis was confirmed on DEXA. Sestamibi parathyroid scan had increased uptake within one parathyroid gland. The patient underwent open suprapubic 92 gm prostatectomy with evacuation of 254 gm calcium phosphate bladder stones; this was followed by removal of the offending parathyroid gland. On follow up, the patient was voiding well with normalization of other symptoms related to hyperparathyroidism.

Intrauterine device (IUD) migration completely into the abdominal cavity and half into the bladder to form a stone: a case report and mini-review.
BMC Urol

Department of Urology II, First Hospital of Jilin University, Changchun, Jilin, China.
The intrauterine device (IUD) is an important and highly effective means of contraception. Migration of the IUD, post implantation, out of the uterus is an infrequent complication, and its subsequent migration into the urinary bladder with formation of secondary bladder calculi, is even more infrequently reported. The authors report a 51 year old woman who had had her last child delivered via cesarean section 16 years ago.

Background: Urocystolithiasis is a common problem in dogs; many canine uroliths are resistant to medical dissolution. Novel management options would expand, and in some cases improve, current urolith retrieval strategies.
Hypothesis/objectives: To describe a previously unreported technique by the Ellik bladder evacuator (EE) to assist in minimally invasive, cystoscopic retrieval of canine cystoliths.

Radiology, Doncaster Royal Infirmary, Doncaster, GBR.
Background and aim Non-contrast computed tomography of kidneys, ureters, and bladder (CT KUB) is the gold standard radiological imaging for nephrolithiasis. It significantly contributes to the total radiation exposure of a population. This is well known to be linked to increased cancer risk over time and as such should be minimized in line with Ionising Radiation (Medical Exposure) Regulations (IR{ME}R).

Department of Urology, University of Patras Hospital, 26504, Patras, Greece.
Purpose: Optimal laser settings during endoscopic stone disease management still represents a debatable issue. The aim of this systematic review is to summarize all existing evidence regarding the comparison of high-power (HP) versus low-power (LP) laser settings during different endoscopic lithotripsy procedures.
Methods: PubMed, Scopus and Cochrane databases were systematically screened, based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) Guidelines.
