Surgical treatment of pelvic lipomatosis: a systematic review of 231 cases
CONCLUSION: The surgical treatments for PL include TUR, ureteral stent placement, urinary diversion, and allograft renal transplantation. However, the choice of surgical method should be determined after comprehensive consideration of the patient's condition.PMID:38152349 | PMC:PMC10752117 | DOI:10.1177/17562872231217842 (Source: Adv Data)

Factors influencing the efficacy of ultrasound-guided extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy in the treatment of ureteral stones: a retrospective study
AbstractThe aim of the study was to analyze the factors influencing the efficacy of ultrasound-guided extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) in the treatment of ureteral stones. The clinical data of 8102 patients (6083 men and 2019 women) who presented with ureteral stones were retrospectively analyzed. All the patients were treated with ultrasound-guided ESWL. The stone-free rate (SFR) was calculated to evaluate the effect of ESWL. The characteristics of the patients and their stones, and the ESWL parameters applied were compared to identify the factors affecting the treatment outcomes. The SFR and that following one...

A new training model using the self-healing properties of supramolecular hydrogels for endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery
AbstractThe combination of hydronephrosis formation, ureteroscopic imaging, and ultrasound delineation has not been included in any non-biological training model of percutaneous nephrolithotomy or endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery. We aimed to develop a realistic kidney phantom using the self-healing properties of supramolecular hydrogels for percutaneous nephrolithotomy and endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery and evaluate its suitability as a training model.Expert and resident urologists performed ultrasound-guided renal pelvic punctures and flexible ureteroscopies for endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery using ...

Bladder metastasis from inflammatory breast cancer presenting with hematuria and hydronephrosis
We report a rare case of a 56-year-old Ukrainian female with inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) who underwent neoadjuvant chemoradiation and left radical mastectomy with her clinical course complicated by disease recurrence with bone and bladder metastases 2.5 years after her initial diagnosis. We highlight the presentation and diagnosis of genitourinary involvement of metastatic IBC, which has not previously been described in the literature.PMID:38104333 (Source: Canadian Journal of Urology)
