An 11-year-old female consulted our department with complaints of urinary incontinence and pyuria. She had had a cloacal repair 7 years ago. The radiograph showed four stones in the pelvis. Magnetic resonance imaging showed two diverticula next to the urethra and several low intensity masses in one diverticulum were regarded as stones. Voiding cystourethrography showed normal urinary bladder co...

INTRODUCTION We sought to evaluate the safety and efficacy of percutaneous cystolithotripsy in children. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty children (27 boys and 3 girls; mean age, 6.06 +/- 2.64 years; range, 1.5 to 12 years) with bladder calculi underwent percutaneous stone removal. The mean size of the largest diameters of the calculi was 24.8 +/- 8.47 mm (range, 13 mm to 50 mm). Under general an...

OBJECTIVE To review the clinical features of stone disease in dogs and cats for a non-veterinary audience. METHODS Relevant peer-reviewed scientific reports were reviewed. RESULTS Lower urinary tract stones are more common in dogs and cats than they are in humans. In addition to struvite stones, calcium oxalate, urate and cystine stones are all commonly found in the bladder and the urethra....

Ureteral stents are one of the most commonly used urologic devices with the purpose of establishing and maintaining ureteral patency. They are also associated with a number of complications including infection, migration, stent-related symptoms, and encrustation, leading to lithiasis. Prolonged stent dwell time is associated with a greater degree of these complications. We present the case of a...

Background: Gallstone disease or cholelithiasis, is one of the most common surgical problems worldwide. The assessment of gallbladder kinetics in patients with cholelithiasis as well as in patients with high risk for cholelithiasis could play a significant role in better management and is recommended as a routine workup of biliary system in these patients. Objectives: This study was carried out...

To study pattern age sex distribution, diet clinical feature patients, laboratory radiological investigations patients presenting with associated pathology, intraoperative pathological changes This was conducted from July 202...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of minimally invasive percutaneous cystostomy with ureteroscopic pneumatic lithotripsy for treating calculus in bladder diverticula. Percutaneous cystostomy with ureteroscopic pneumatic lithotripsy was performed on six elderly male patients with calculi in bladder diverticula, who could not be treated with transurethral ureteroscopic li...

BACKGROUND Bladder diverticulum may be congenital and acquired. Iatrogenic bladder diverticulum is classified in a special group. Indications for surgery are: persistant or recurrent urinary infection, the presence of a stone in a diverticulum, development of tumor in a diverticulum cavity, the lower urinary tract symptoms and voiding symptoms and vesicoureteral reflux due to diverticulum or ur...
