1/14. Endoscopic basket extraction of a urethral foreign body.The presence of a foreign body in the genitourinary tract represents a urologic challenge that often requires prompt intervention. We describe an endoscopic approach that was used for removal of a foreign body located in the prostatic urethra of a schizophrenic man. A nitinol stone basket was used as an effective means for extraction of a large metal screw from the urethra of this patient.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = urinary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/14. lithiasis in the ileal conduit and the continent urinary pouch: two cases and a review.We present 2 patients who developed stones (6 and 57 g) in the ileal conduit; the first stone was passed and the second required surgical removal; its nidus was a surgical staple. After a review of the literature which includes 25 other cases of stones in ileal conduits, as well as over 20 cases of stones in continent urinary pouches, it is concluded that the use of metallic staples in the construction of the ileal conduit or the continent urinary pouch should be abandoned.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 6keywords = urinary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/14. Vesical calculus formation on permanent sutures.Bladder calculi are uncommon in adults and usually result from either obstruction or foreign objects. The present case report describes an elderly man presenting with recurrent urinary tract infections. Investigations revealed a bladder calculus that had formed on a permanent suture material used previously in bladder surgery (diverticulectomy) 5-years ago.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = urinary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/14. Paravesical suture granuloma: a problem following herniorrhaphy.We discuss the diagnosis and management of a paravesical suture granuloma and review 11 such cases reported in the literature. Granulomas are an unusual complication of surgery, which have been noted to occur from several months to 11 years postoperatively. Of the 11 patients reported on 10 had undergone previous inguinal herniorrhaphy and presented with urinary symptoms and a palpable mass, and 1 had undergone femoral herniorrhaphy. In 7 cases the clinical diagnosis was a malignancy. It is important to consider suture granulomas in the differential diagnosis of a suprapubic mass involving the bladder so that unnecessary major surgery can be avoided.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = urinary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/14. Complete urinary obstruction following periurethral polytetrafluoroethylene injection for urinary incontinence.We report a unique case of foreign body granulomatous reaction after periurethral polytetrafluoroethylene injection causing complete urinary obstruction. Urinary obstruction in the immediate postoperative period and granuloma formation following polytetrafluoroethylene injection are not unusual. To our knowledge delayed complete urinary obstruction after polytetrafluoroethylene injection has not been described previously in the urological literature.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1673.145590258keywords = urinary incontinence, incontinence, urinary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/14. barium granuloma involving urinary bladder.The first case of barium granuloma involving urinary bladder is reported. Surgical removal was the treatment of choice. Histological diagnosis was foreign body granuloma with xanthomatous inflammation. The foreign body was identified as barium by analytical electron microscopy.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = urinary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/14. Pelvic mass causing vesical compression after total hip arthroplasty. Case report.A 59-year-old woman developed a histiocytic response to methylmethacrylate debris in a loose total hip arthroplasty. This reaction eroded through the medial wall of the acetabulum, producing a pelvic mass and presenting with urinary symptoms. A combination of an abdominal approach for removal of the pelvic mass and a lateral approach for revision of the total hip arthroplasty was required. This condition should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a mass adjacent to a loose prosthesis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = urinary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/14. Preputial calculus: a case report.A preputial calculus developed postoperatively in a child with epispadias. Analysis of the pathophysiological development of this lesion and a review of the literature are presented. The inert subpreputial space may become calculogenic in the presence of phimosis and urinary stasis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = urinary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/14. Massive incrustation on silicone ureteral stent: a severe complication.We report the first case of unilateral, upper tract obstruction secondary to incrustation and stone formation on a silicone double-J ureteral stent. We believe that the main cause of this complication was the neurological bladder dysfunction of the patient coupled with urinary tract infection.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = urinary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/14. Urinary-tract infections due to inflammation around nonabsorbable suture material in the bladder.Three patients are reported with urinary-tract infections around wire granulomas caused by nonabsorbable suture material in the bladder. On the basis of reports in the literature and of personal findings use of this material in operations in and around the urinary tract should be considered inadvisable. Use of absorbable material, such as catgut, chromic catgut, Dexon or Vicryl is to be preferred.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2keywords = urinary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
