The authors evaluated the pyelocaliceal diverticula by means of high dosis contrast urography with nephrotomography and following wash-out and dynamic examination. Most of cases showed stasis in the diverticulum. In no case dynamic activity of diverticulum walls was founded.

The upper urinary tract is the most common human system affected by congenital anomalies. Congenital anomalies of the kidneys and ureters comprise a wide spectrum of disorders ranging from simple variants with no clinical significance to complex anomalies that may lead to severe complications and end-stage renal disease. They may be classified as anomalies of renal form, which are subclassified as structural anomalies (eg, persistent fetal lobulation, hypertrophied column of Bertin, and dromedary hump) and fusion anomalies (eg, horseshoe kidney and pancake kidney); anomalies of renal position (eg, renal malrotation, simple renal ectopia, and crossed renal ectopia) and renal number (eg, renal agenesis and supernumerary kidney); and abnormalities in development of the urinary collecting system (eg, pyelocaliceal diverticulum, megacalycosis, ureteropelvic junction obstruction, duplex collecting system, megaureter, ectopic ureter, and ureterocele).

Retrograde flexible ureteroscopic approach of upper urinary tract pathology: What is the status in 2014?

Flexible uretero-renoscopy witnessed dramatic technological improvements, ultimately translating in more diverse indications, better instrument durability, procedural efficacy and safety. Diagnostic exploration of the upper urinary tract, treatment of selected cases of ureteral and especially pyelocaliceal stones, caliceal diverticulum and infundibular stenosis, treatment, and follow-up of upper urinary tract tumors are the main indications for this approach. We review the technique, results and complications of retrograde flexible ureteroscopy, with an emphasis on the latest developments of the method.

Neither computed tomography (CT) nor intravenous pyelography (IVP) alone can diagnose tumors of renal pelvic diverticula, but magnetic resonance urography (MRU) can obtain accurate preoperative information.

Introduction: Caliceal diverticulae are a frequent surgical problem. We present our experience with caliceal diverticular stones (CDS) managed with percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and describe the two different techniques to deal with diverticula after stone retrieval.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 10-year data of 44 consecutive patients who underwent PCNL for CDS.
