Iliac vein-ureteral fistula is a rare cause of hematuria. The diagnosis of an iliac vein-ureteral fistula can be elusive even with the use of multiple methods. With regards to the treatment, there appears to be a shift in management from primarily open surgical to primarily angiographic management. We present a unique case of an external iliac vein - transplant ureteral fistula. A 48 year-old f...

MORITA, T., SuzuKI, T., KoNDO, S. and TSUCHIDA, S. Effects of Noradrena line and Acetylcholine on Ureteral Peristalsis. Tohoku J. exp. Med., 1983, 141 (4), 489-490 Experiments in vitro were performed to compare effects of noradrenaline and acetylcholine on the pyeloureter, both of which activate ureteral peristalsis. Noradrenaline elevated the baseline renal pressure to accelerate the ureteral ...

Renin secretion was studied in acute experiments in dogs during occlusion of the ureter alone (experiment 1), ureteral occlusion with a superimposed intrarenal infusion of papaverine (experiment 2), or ureteral occlusion with a superimposed intravenous ethacrynic acid injection (experiment 3) and following release of the ureteral occlusion (all three experiments). In all three experiments, uret...

Ureteral urothelial carcinoma (UC) is a rare malignant tumor. The most common clinical manifestations of ureteral UC are hematuria, increased urinary frequency, dysuria and pain. The diagnosis of ureteral UC is made via radiography, endoscopy and pathology. Although osteoblastic destruction is usually observed in metastasis of prostate cancer, UC can also be a reason for osteoblastic metastasis...

The surgical treatment of vesicoureteral relfux can range from injection therapy to open ureteral reimplantation. Minimally invasive applications for treatment of vesicoureteral relfux include laparoscopic extravesical and intravesical ureteral reimplantation. We present our extended experience of the technique for intravesical cross-trigonal ureteral reimplantation for vesicoureteral relux.

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effects of a selective b3-adrenoceptor agonist, (R,R)-5-[2-[[2-(3-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxyethyl]-amino]propyl]-1,3-benzodioxole-2,2dicarboxylate (CL 316243), on the acutely obstructed ureter in anesthetized dogs. After a complete ureteral obstruction produced by the inflation of a balloon catheter placed within the left lower ureter, the int...

Transl Androl Urol 2014;3(3):320 www.amepc.org/tau Although the concept of ureteral stenting has been around since the 1800s, it was not until the 1960s that the more modern version ureteral stents (at that time referred to as splints) were placed endoscopically. Many of the common problems with ureteral stents (irritative voiding symptoms, hematuria, encrustation, bacterial colonization, etc.)...

Editorial Comment Kunkle et al. report on their experience with missed ureteral injuries at a busy inner city trauma center. This is a well written and comprehensive paper on delayed diagnosis. Tables 3 and 4 are nice metanalyses demonstrating that roughly 11% of ureteral injuries are missed at laparotomy, resulting in an overall nephrectomy rate of 18% and death at 13%. Even in the busiest of ...
