BACKGROUND Laparoscopy is an important surgical technique, and an understanding of normal and altered anatomy is crucial for successful surgery. We describe herein a patient in whom the left ureter follows an anomalous course due to previous surgery. METHODS This is the case report of a 28-year-old female with a history of ureteral reimplantation evaluated with laparoscopy for dysmenorrhea an...

: There are various options in the technique of branch vessel reimplantation during thoracabdominal aortic replacement. The choice may affect conduct operation and even surgical outcome especially case low-volume surgeons. This report describes procedural details thoracoabdominal replacement performed a 42-year-old female Marfan patient who had Crawford type II aneurysm caused by chronic B diss...

Anomalous left coronary artery from pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital heart disease that affects one in every 300 000 live births and accounts for 0.24–0.46% of cases of congenital heart disease [1]. Over the last few decades, four different operative procedures have been recommended as treatment for ALCAPA: the simple ligation of ALCAPA, coronary artery bypass grafting, channel re...

BACKGROUND The use of robotic assistance in adult genitourinary surgery has been successful in many operations, leading surgeons to test its use in other applications as well. METHODS Based on our use during prostatectomy, we have applied robotic surgery to complex distal ureteral surgeries since 2004 with successful outcomes. RESULTS A series of 11 patients who underwent robot-assisted lap...

Intentional tooth reimplantation can be an alternative treatment option for teeth with poor or hopeless prognosis where coronal and surgical endodontic treatment(s) are not possible. This technique may help to restore a natural tooth to function in preference to prosthesis/implant replacements. A 38-years old male was referred to private practice with persistent chronic apical periodontitis of ...

Urologic complications associated with the ureterovesical anastomosis after transplantation may cause graft loss and mortality [1]. Today, extravesical ureteroneocystostomy has become a popular procedure to reestablish urinary tract continuity in renal transplantation. Complication rates vary from around 20% to less than 5% [2, 3]. At many transplantation centers, surgeons have adopted new sutu...

Surgical treatment of primary obstructive megaureter is generally recommended when ureteral dilatation is likely to contribute to symptoms such as pyelonephritis or calculi. The authors' objective for this study was to present the surgical results performing ureteral reimplantation, combined with modified Lich-Gregoir antireflux procedure (using anchoring stitch) over a 10 year period. The aver...

lung has been studied by numerous investigators.4’29’30 Rarely is the postoperative function of this organ normal, though substantial respiratory activity is usually achieved. Specifically, a reimplanted lung almost always exhibits a reduced oxygen uptake and in most instances fails to sustain respiratory requirements when contralateral pneumonectomy is performed a short time after the reimplan...

A 35 years old lady presented with history of something coming out of the genitalia for the last 5 days. She also had history of pain in the left lumbar region which was initially investigated but the patient did not follow-up. About 15 years ago she also underwent left ureteric reimplantation. On examination, a stick like tube was protruding out of the urethral meatus which was fixed to the un...
