endometriosis is the presence of benign endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterus. urinary system involvement by endometriosis is a rare occurrence accounting for only 1.5 % of all endometriosis cases. case 1. the patient was a 41 years old woman admitted for right flank pain. the physical and gynaecologic examination was unyielding. intravenous urography (ivu) revealed stenosis in dista...

UNLABELLED Prenatal ultrasonography has revolutionized the detection and management of many urological abnormalities. Vesicoureteric reflux (VUR) which develops in 10% to 15% of cases of prenatal hydronephrosis, is difficult to predict prenatally. While all children with prenatal hydronephrosis should undergo ultrasonography within the first few weeks of life, there seems to be controversy rega...

PURPOSE Fetal hydronephrosis is a frequent finding due to advances in prenatal ultrasonography. The definition of fetal and neonatal urinary tract obstruction is a very difficult task requiring confirmation of reduced renal function and hydronephrosis. In this study we followed a series of consecutive patients with intrauterine hydronephrosis that persisted during post-natal life. METHODS 116...

Background: Hydronephrosis is a common finding in normal pregnancy. It the dilatation of renal calyces and pelvis by urine, as result obstruction outflow urine distal to pelvis. usually physiological. The objective this study was determine prevalence maternal hydronephrosis, correlate it with age, parity gestational age pregnancy Bayelsa State, Nigeria.Methods: This prospective conducted at obs...

Abdominoscrotal hydrocele is a rare entity with unclear etiology which may be diagnosed with general examination and ultrasound imaging. During examination it may misinterpreted as acute urinary retention of the bladder (globe-like) especially if associated with hydronephrosis. It should be treated surgically. Here we present a case of left abdominoscrotal hydrocele with accompanying left grade...

BACKGROUND Our aim was to evaluate the effect of visceral obesity and impact of severe hydronephrosis on surgical complexity in patients undergoing laparoscopic radical nephroureterectomy (LRNU). METHODS From January 2000 to December 2013, 169 patients underwent radical nephroureterectomy at our institution. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 70 patients who underwent LRNU. We...

Primary causes of urinary tract obstruction that induces urine retention and results in hydronephrosis include uroliths, inflammation, and tumors. In this study, we analyzed the molecular pathology of ureteritis causing hydronephrosis in laboratory rodents.F2 progenies of C57BL/6 and DBA/2 mice were studied histopathologically and by comprehensive gene expression analysis of their ureters. Inci...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate renal function and the need for postnatal treatment--antibiotic therapy and/or surgery--in relation to the grade of fetal renal pelvic dilatation (RPD) found on third-trimester ultrasound examination. METHODS The retrospective study included 78 children, born between 1995 and 2000, with 115 dilated fetal renal pelvic units. The children were al...

We treated 5 cases of severe hydronephrosis with balloon dilation. Those hydronephrosis were due to the ureteral stricture with small stone fragments after ESWL (Lithostar). In each case, in situ ESWL had been done on a long-lodged ureteric stone with severe hydronephrosis. And even after the disintegration of stone with ESWL, hydronephrosis remained due to ureteral stricture with small stone f...
