Enterolithiasis or formation of gastrointestinal concretions is an unusual medical entity that typically occurs in patients suffering from persistent intestinal stasis. We present a rare case of non-obstructive enterolith wedged in the blind end of bowel reconstruction following cystoprostatectomy and ileal conduit formation due to muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Although we watched it grow over the years, radiological characterisation was made possible when it grew to a significant size. We, herein, will discuss the aetiology and complexities associated with the diagnosis and management of such orphan cases given their non-specific clinical presentations in an already hostile abdomen due to multiple laparotomies.

Parastomal varices are an uncommon but significant source of hemorrhage in patients with portal hypertension, often posing diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. We report the case of a 73-year-old male with a history of alcoholic liver disease and a urostomy following cystoprostatectomy for bladder cancer. The patient presented with profuse bleeding from his urostomy site.

Purpose: To compare 90-day perioperative complications and pathological outcomes between laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC) and extraperitoneal radical cystectomy (EORC) approaches.
Materials And Methods: All operations were performed in a single high-volume tertiary referee center by the same surgical team.Males ≥ 18 years with pre-cystectomy clinical T1-T3 disease and having undergone an ileal conduit were included.

Context: Carcinomas found in urinary diversion specimens are uncommon, particularly new primary tumours. New primary tumours primarily occur when the large intestine is utilised, whereas the occurrence is infrequent with the use of the ileum. These tumours include both the recurrence of primary malignancy or the development of a new primary malignancy originating from the small intestine.
