Urinary Tract Calculi VI: Surgical Management01:25

Urinary Tract Calculi VI: Surgical Management

Procedures for Kidney StonesMedical intervention is necessary when kidney stones or renal calculi are too large to pass spontaneously (typically greater than 5 millimeters) when stones are accompanied by symptomatic infection (such as fever or pyelonephritis), when they impair kidney function, or when they cause persistent symptoms like severe pain, nausea, or urinary retention. Additionally, patients with only one kidney or those who cannot be treated with medical management also require...

Urinary Tract Calculi III: Medical Management

The diagnosis of renal calculi involves several imaging techniques, including non-contrast CT scans and ultrasound. These methods help visualize kidney stones, assess their size and location, and detect possible obstructions. Additionally, Measuring urine pH is useful for diagnosing specific stone types, such as struvite (alkaline pH) and uric acid stones (acidic pH). Cystine stones are primarily linked to cystinuria, a genetic condition. A urinalysis helps detect blood in the urine (hematuria)...

Urologic Endoscopic Procedure: Cystoscopic Examination

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...

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Nephrology

Background:

  • Forgotten ureteral stents (DJ stents) remain a significant clinical issue despite advancements in urology.
  • These retained stents can lead to serious complications, including urinary tract infections and renal failure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the causes, complications, management, and prevention strategies for forgotten ureteral stents.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of endourological techniques in managing complications associated with retained DJ stents.

Main Methods:

  • A retro-prospective study was conducted over a 6-year period (January 2004 - December 2009).
  • Data from 60 patients with forgotten ureteral stents were analyzed.
  • Minimal access endourological techniques were employed for management.

Main Results:

  • Forgotten stents were associated with a spectrum of complications, ranging from mild urinary tract infections to severe renal failure.
  • All cases were successfully managed using endourological techniques, either alone or in combination.
  • No open surgery or laparoscopy was required for the management of these complications.

Conclusions:

  • Prevention of forgotten ureteral stents and their associated complications is highly achievable.
  • Endourological techniques provide a successful and minimally invasive approach to manage complications arising from retained DJ stents.
