    has better sensitivity for detection of stone but limited sensitivity for hydronephrosis detection. A combination of these two modalities may improve both sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of obstructive ureteric stone. Aims: This study... aims to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of combined US with radiography for the diagnosis of obstructive ureteric stone in adult patients. Settings and Design: Retrospective study with retrospective data collection performed in a 1500-bed university

    Antegrade flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy with suctioning ureteral access sheath for large distal ureteral stones in neobladder patients: A case report
    (2025-07-01) Pattamawalai T.; Sirisopana K.; Piyawannarat S.; Sangkum P.; Kongchareonsombat W.; Ketsuwan C.; Pattamawalai T.; Mahidol University
    The use of suctioning ureteral access sheaths (sUAS) in endoscopic stone surgery provides significant advantages for retrograde procedures, including enhancing stone-free outcomes, shortening hospitalization stay, and lowering the incidence... of infection. Nevertheless, in specific instances where an antegrade approach is necessary for lithotripsy, the application of these sheaths is not well established. We present the case of a patient with a neobladder and a significant ureteral calculus who

    Objective: To investigate the surgical outcomes of patients who underwent retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) using a ureteral access sheath (UAS) to manage kidney stones sized 1–2 cm compared between patients who did and did not undergo... preoperative ureteral prestenting. Materials and methods: This retrospective cohort study included 166 patients (aged ≥18 years) who underwent RIRS at Siriraj Hospital (Bangkok, Thailand) during February 2015–February 2020.

    with complex high-volume renal and ureteral calculus who was treated successfully using a tubeless mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy. The entire stone was retrieved, and the patient fully recovered without any complications....A complex staghorn calculus that is concurrent with an impacted large proximal ureteric calculi is rarely found in elderly patients, and morbidity and mortality rates are much higher if left untreated. We report the case of an 88-year-old female

    Purpose: Ureteral stents are widely used in many urological procedures. We evaluated the recent literature, providing an update on materials and stent designs, and indications for stent placement and stent complications, including the management... of such stent related problems. Materials and Methods: A thorough literature search on ureteral stents was performed. Pertinent new and review/updated articles published in the English literature from 2000 through 2006 were systematically reviewed. Results

    patient. On the sixth month of follow up, all patients were stone free without any evidence of ureteral stricture. Conclusion: Laparoscopic ureterolithotomy is a minimally invasive treatment and may be considered as the useful first-line management... for large impacted upper ureteric stones. The technical recommendations were retroperitoneal access and suturing the ureterotomy incision. Ureteral stent should be placed in only cases of severe inflammation of the ureter or inappropriate suturing.

    Laparoscopic ureterolithotomy for upper ureteric calculi
    (1999-10-01) Chaiyong Nualyong; Tawatchai Taweemonkongsap; Mahidol University
    Laparoscopic ureterolithotomy was performed on 10 patients with upper ureteric stones indicated for open ureterolithotomy after failed prior minimally invasive approaches. Stone size ranged from 7 to 15 mm. (mean 9.3). The routes of approach were... all done transperitoneally except in one case in which the retroperitoneal route was initially attempted and later converted to transperitoneal route due to contracted space and unclear landmarks. Stones were all removed successfully with the operating
