Current minimally invasive interventions for ureteric stones involve either ESWL or Ureteroscopy and stone localization is mandatory successful treatment in both. Objectives: To avoid doing KUB radiograph before routinely by correlating the attenuation value on CT with visualization at fluoroscopy. Methods: This a prospective cross sectional hospital based, Multicentric study carried out 1010 p...

the simple ureteroscopy.5 More invasive resectoscopy may have lower recurrence rate, but it may pose a higher risk of damaging the rectal sphincter or even the rectum.6 Wang et al.2 reported that in 162 intractable or refractory hematospermia cases, seven cases relapsed after 3 months and four cases remained unalleviated. We reported here that in 43 patients, we used the holmium laser incision ...

Ureteral polyps are benign tumors of the ureter, which are relatively rare. The etiology has proposed various hypotheses, involving chronic inflammation and congenital disease. Most of them are commonly diagnosed in the upper ureter including the ureteropelvic junction. Some studies have reported polypectomy using a holmium laser, but several studies presented laparoscopic ureteroureterostomy f...

Purpose:AUA guidelines recommend ureteroscopy as first line therapy for patients on anticoagulant or antiplatelet and advocate using a ureteral access sheath. We examined practice patterns ...

Ureteric strictures can be caused by traumatic pelvic surgery, urolithiasis and instrumentation. There are various treatment options for ureteric stricture, including laparoscopic ureteric reimplantation. A 56-year-old female with a history of chronic left pelviureteric junction obstruction presented with urosepsis secondary to right-sided urolithiasis. The patient had a left nephrectomy and de...

Three patients were reinspected by ureteroscopy after repeat ESWL. Ureteroscopy initially did not disclose an intraluminal stone and only visualized a severe inflammatory reaction of the ureteric wall and a boss of the ureter at the level of the fluoroscopically suspected stone location. An intact stone in all 3 cases was finally exposed by tactile contact at the top of the ureteroscope after p...

We present an unusual case of a 44-year-old male who developed violent hiccups soon after a ureteroscopy for nephrolithiasis; later, the forceful hiccups were followed by hematemesis. Upper esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed Mallory-Weiss tears and esophageal erosions in the lower esophagus. Esophageal biopsy was unremarkable. The patient did not have a prior history of the gastrointestinal di...

We present a case report of successful management of ureteropelvice junction avulsion during ureteroscopy successfully managed with simultaneous percutaneous nephrolithotomy and early endoscopic ureteral realignment.

PURPOSE To identify perioperative predictors of immediate pain after ureteroscopy, specifically evaluating the impact of hydrodistention from irrigation on pain. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively identified patients who underwent ureteroscopy for the treatment of calculi. Data recorded for these patients included their maximum pain score in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU), average...
