Does coiling of the proximal end of the ureteral stent affect stent-related symptoms?
Ureteral stents, first described by Zimskind in 1967, have become a critical tool in modern urology. They are widely used in various endourological procedures to drain obstructed or infected renal units and as a safety measure before or after surgeries....Demanding cases or nightmares in endourology? May/Jun 2016
In the third article in this series the authors describe their experience with the very rare indications for laparoscopic stone surgery. Case 1 A 44-year-old woman presented with several months of malaise and right flank pain. A CT scan demonstrated...Demanding cases or nightmares in endourology? Sep/Oct 2015
One of the most interesting aspects of attending international meetings is the rare but invaluable, honest presentation of complex cases. We aim to present the readers with some complex and challenging ongoing cases in endourology. Case 1 A general practitioner...
Patterns of relapse and implications for post-nephrectomy surveillance in patients with high-risk NCC-RCC
The natural history of non-clear cell renal cell carcinoma (NCC-RCC) post-nephrectomy with curative intent remains poorly defined. The surveillance protocols are largely dependent on guidelines followed for clear cell RCC (CC-RCC). In this study, the authors evaluated the relapse patterns...
Relax and take note of this!
Children with neurogenic bladders are at risk of renal compromise through high detrusor pressures. Management aims to provide continence and preserve the upper tracts by increasing capacity and compliance though early clean intermittent catheterisation and anticholinergics. Intradetrusor botulinum toxin has...
Long-term risks of augmenting the bladder in spina bifida patients
Bladder augmentation is utilised to treat children with neuropathic bladders secondary to spina bifida that results in hostile urodynamics, renal deterioration and / or urinary incontinence. Whilst it is associated with an improved quality of life and low mortality, it...
Loop-tail stents in reducing stent related symptoms – the search continues
Insertion of double J (DJ) stents is one of the most commonly performed procedures in urology. One of its major drawbacks is stent related symptoms (SRS) which has generated a lot of research in drugs, stent design and materials. One...
Cortical stimulation for voiding dysfunction in multiple sclerosis
Voiding dysfunction (VD) increases morbidity in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), and may be associated with urinary tract infections, stones and renal failure. Catheterisation is required when impaired hand function precludes self-catheterisation, which is associated with further morbidity. In this...
Is outpatient robotic surgery feasible in children?
Minimally invasive surgery has helped to achieve shorter hospitalisations, reduce postoperative pain and analgesia requirements and provides better cosmetic results. Robotic urological outpatient surgery has been examined in recent times in the adult population; here Neheman et al. look at...
