METHODS We report the case of a 77-year-old male patient with a DJ ureteral catheter placed for an 8-month period and history of nephrolithiasis; the stent showed a 60 mm x 30 mm calcification on its distal ...

An 85 kg, 6-year-old pig presenting with stranguria was anaesthetised for computed tomography and cystotomy. During this anaesthetic, bradyarrhythmias occurred twice, both responding to medical intervention. A cystotomy tube placed but the removal of one urethrolith not possible. Recovery from anaesthesia uneventful. hospitalisation, animal's respiratory rate effort increased, crackles on thora...

In patients with closed neck, channel is only way to access bladder. We describe our case of 17 year-old girl previous surgical closure neck who developed large clot due hematuria after cystolithotomy in an augmented bladder; Methods: unsuccessful trans-app...

Objective: Physiological outcomes in patients of cloacal exstrophy are governed primarily by neurological innervation and detrusor histomorphology. An evaluation of the bladder plate histomorphology for the presence of neural elements, collagen fibres and smooth muscle components was done and correlation attempted with detrusor physiology. Methods: From three cases of cloacal exstrophy, full th...
