Closure of the ureter with a mixture of butyl-2-cyano-acrylate and lipiodol was performed for the palliative management of urinary incontinence in 4 patients (unilaterally in 3, bilaterally in 1), after urinary diversion had been provided by operative or percutaneous nephrostomy (inoperable vesico-(recto-)vaginal fistulas [2 patients] due to irradiated cervical carcinomas, contracted bladder due to irradiation [1 patient] and irradiated locally advanced prostatic carcinoma [1 patient]). In the first two patients the ureters were occluded by transurethral access using ureteral catheters followed in one case by dislocation of embolic material in the renal pelvis (without sequelae). The transrenal access for ureteral closure was employed in the two other patients using adjuvant balloon catheter occlusion. With this technique no complications were encountered. All patients were discharged free of complaints and completely dry. To achieve this result two patients had required a second ureteral embolisation.

Retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF) is a rare disease with a nonspecific presentation. RPF can be classified into Idiopathic, the most common, or secondary due to malignancy and various medications resulting in chronic inflammation and fibrosis in the retroperitoneum. The complications arise due to the compression of structures in the retroperitoneum.

To assess the accuracy of Kidney Stone Calculator(KSC), a software designed for surgical planning, in predicting the duration of lithotripsy during flexible ureteroscopy(FURS) when using the novel pulsed-Thulium: YAG(p-Tm: YAG) laser. From February to August 2023, a single-center prospective study was conducted, including patients with kidney or ureteral stones through non-contrast computed tomography(NCCT), who underwent FURS with p-Tm: YAG laser lithotripsy. KSC used three-dimensional segmentation of the stones from NCCT images, along with an interactive user interface for laser settings, to estimate the stone volume(SV) and the lithotripsy duration(LD).

Endometriosis is a common condition among women of reproductive age worldwide, with the urinary tract being the second most frequently affected extragenital organ system, particularly the bladder and ureters. Ureteral endometriosis (UE) is relatively rare, often asymptomatic, and can lead to progressive renal function loss if not addressed promptly. Early diagnosis and intervention are essential, requiring a high index of suspicion.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of a pressure-controlled and temperature-controlled flexible ureteroscope system (PT Scope™) during flexible ureteroscopy.
Materials And Methods: We developed the PT Scope™, a novel ureteroscope system with capabilities for monitoring and controlling intrarenal pressure and temperature to maintain them within set parameters. Data were retrospectively collected from 48 consecutive patients diagnosed with upper urinary tract stones who underwent flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy using the PT Scope™ across five centers in China.
