conclusions this case raises awareness on the lack of visualization of ureteral flux during conventional cystoscopic evaluation in patients with renal failure undergoing pelvic organ prolapse repair, while also emphasizing the importance of confirming ureteral patency via retrograde ureteral intubation when cystoscopy is non-diagnostic. background pelvic floor reconstruction can result in obstr...

gastrointestinal duplications are rare congenital malformations and they may vary greatly in presentation, size, location and symptoms. the presence of ectopic gastric mucosa (egm) in them is not common and they are difficult to diagnose prior to surgery. we present the case of a child with long intestinal duplication with ectopic gastric mucosa who presented with just severe anaemia and delaye...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the rate of intrinsic ureteral endometriosis in patients presenting with severe ureteral endometriosis. DESIGN Observational study between June 1992 and December 2007. SETTING University tertiary referral center. PATIENT(S) Twenty-nine patients presenting deeply infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) with severe ureteral endometriosis. Severe ureteral endometriosis was def...

AIM URS is a very commonly used procedure for treatment of ureter stones. Increased hydrostatic pressure in the collecting system linked to fluids used during the procedure may cause harmful effects on the kidney. The aim of this study is to determine whether the URS procedure has a negative effect on the kidney by investigating NGAL, KIM-1, FABP and Cys C levels in urine. MATERIAL AND METHOD...

From July, 1987 to Oct, 1989 , 104 patients underwent 111 transurethral ureteroscopy procedures at the Air Force Medical Center. All intramural ureters were dilated by flexible metal dilators. The overall success rate for ureteral stone removal was 95.8 per cent. Ureteroscopy was done for evaluation of gross hematuria, strictures, ureteral stent, and ureteral and pyelocalyceal tumors. The ...

30 cases of obstructing proximal ureteral stones at the level of L3-L5 which could not be pushed back into the pelvis and passed by a guide wire under epidural anesthesia, were removed percutaneously with the rigid ureteroscope. Multiple stones in one ureter, bilateral ureteral stones and a ureteral stone of a solitary kidney were removed successfully in one session showing the reliability...

In this paper, we define duplication corona, duplication neighborhood corona and duplication edge corona of two graphs. We compute their adjacency spectrum, Laplacian spectrum and signless Laplacian. As an application, our results enable us to construct infinitely many pairs of cospectral graphs and also integral graphs.

Introduction. Kidney duplication is one of the most common urological developmental anomalies, incidence which 0.8%. At same time, various types obstructive uropathy can be a concomitant pathology in such situation. There are methods for correcting uropathy. Currently, more and often treatment segments doubled kidney, method as ureteroureterostomy used. However, there still no consensus on tact...
