Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is diagnosed in ∼1% of children. The main goal of treatment is preservation of renal function by preventing recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI) refractory to antibiotic therapy. Surgical treatment options include endoscopic injection or ureteral reimplantation. Subureteral Teflon (polytetrafluoroethylene) injection (STING) is an endoscopic treatment option no lon...

Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), a common congenital urinary tract anomaly, refers to retrograde flow of urine from the bladder into the upper urinary tract. The main goal in the treatment of pediatric VUR is to preserve renal function by preventing pyelonephritis. Many surgical management options are available for pediatric VUR. Open ureteral reimplantation has a high success rate but is invasive ...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Obstructive ureteral pathologies in adult patients are most commonly due to ureteral strictures and secondary to surgical interventions. In this study, we aimed to compare open and laparoscopic modified Lich-Gregoir ureteral reimplantation with regards to outcomes in benign ureteral pathologies in adult patients. METHODS Between December 2008 and December 2014, 32 open ...

OBJECTIVES urinary fistula is a morbid complication after renal transplantation leading to graft losses and patient death. We review and update our data on urinary fistula after renal transplantation and the outcome after surgical and conservative management. MATERIALS AND METHODS the charts of 1046 renal transplants were reviewed. Transplants were performed through an extended inguinotomy; v...

This paper presents a clinical case of laparoscopic nephrectomy for large (10 cm) renal sinus mass in an allograft kidney, followed by intrarenal urinary tract reconstruction with ureteral reimplantation. The surgery had acceptable oncological outcome, without loss kidney function. Regardless the volume and extent tumor process, use minimally invasive, nephron-sparing treatment techniques takes...

Ureteral duplication is a congenital malformative uropathy that occurs most often in children. Complete ureteral defined by kidney has two ureters with orifices communicate to the bladder through meati. It an anatomical variant remains rare. Its early discovery due lack of diagnostic means, hence occurrence long-term complications. To this end, we observe increased importance morbidity linked l...
