[Laparoscopy in the diagnosis of polycystic kidneys (author's transl)]
Journal D'Urologie Et De Nephrologie
|June 1, 1977
Abstract:
Nineteen cases of polycystic kidney disease were studied by laparoscopy in order to demonstrate the presence of renal cysts. The right kidney was seen in all cases and the left in 14. Cysts were not seen in 2 cases in the right kidney and 7 cases in the left. At endoscopy the cysts hve the appearance of thin-walled vesicles, highly variable in number and size. Diagnosis by intravenous pyelography was not possible in 7 cases whilst laparoscopy failed to provide the necessary evidence in only 2 patients.

Meaning of Cystoscopic Examination:Cystoscopy is an essential diagnostic tool in urology that is used to assess the structure and function of the genitourinary system. It provides a direct view of the urethra, bladder, and, in some cases, the ureteral openings. This procedure helps detect structural abnormalities, infections, cancers, and blockages in the urinary tract. There are two types of cystoscopy:Flexible cystoscopy is commonly performed in outpatient settings due to its less invasive...

IntroductionIntravenous Urography (IVU) and Retrograde Pyelography (RP) are important diagnostic imaging techniques used to evaluate the urinary system. These methods help identify structural abnormalities, obstructions, and functional issues in the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. Both procedures use iodine-based contrast media to enhance the visibility of urinary tract structures on X-ray images, though they differ in their methods and indications.1.
