Abstract:
The use of ureteral stents to assure continuity and patency of the upper urinary tract has become common in endo-urology. We present an 82-year-old bedridden woman with hydronephrosis and pseudomonas sepsis. Because of ureteropelvic junction stenosis a stent was inserted. Shortly thereafter the stent fragmented spontaneously into 5 pieces. The importance of being familiar with endo-urological manipulations and their complications is emphasized.

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...
01:28Urologic 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...
