1/2. Giant prostatic urethral calculus associated with urethrocutaneous fistula.Urethral stones in men are rare clinical entity and most of them migrate from the urinary bladder. Urethral stones are rarely formed primarily in the urethra and are usually associated with urethral strictures or diverticula. We report a 41-year-old man with giant prostatic urethral stone (5.9x3.2x2.8 cm) associated with a urethrocutaneous fistula. The etiological factors, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, complications and management of giant urethral calculi are reviewed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = calculus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/2. Dumbbell stone of prostatic fossa after prostatectomy. A combined ESWL and suprapubic percutaneous treatment.We report our experience with a combined treatment of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy and percutaneous suprapubic lithotripsy for a dumbbell-shaped stone of prostatic fossa associated with multiple bladder calculi, in the same operative session. Because of the successful result, we believe the association of the two treatments for this complex calculus to be an easy, effective and minimally invasive method. ESWL should be considered for the primary management of these rare calculi, suprapubic percutaneous endoscopy can be helpful in rapid and complete removal of fragments.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.25keywords = calculus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
