Background: Urinary stone disease (USD) often necessitates ureteroscopy with ureteral stenting. We assessed the frequency and risk factors associated with unplanned health care utilization related to ureteroscopy with ureteral stenting with…

PURPOSE: To describe our initial experience with robot-assisted ureteroureterostomy (RUU) at the proximal, middle, and distal ureter. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twelve consecutive patients underwent RUU by a single surgeon (D.D.E.) between Jul…

OBJECTIVES: To report our single-center experience with robotic ureteroneocystostomy for the treatment of distal ureteral obstruction. METHODS: We performed robot-assisted laparoscopic ureteroneocystostomies between May 2005 and October 20…

PURPOSE: We compare virtual cystoscopy (VC) and transabdominal ultrasonography (US) with conventional cystoscopy (CC),the gold standard, for detection of bladder tumors. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Forty-five patients suspected to have bladder n…

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Laparoscopic partial cystectomy is performed in selected patients with isolated diseases, such as bladder endometriosis, pheochromocytoma, leiomyoma, and malignant bladder tumors. Laparoscopic partial cystectomy is i…

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Retroperitoneoscopic nephrectomy (RN) for giant hydronephrosis (GH) is regarded as a more challenging procedure than RN for small nonfunctioning kidneys (SNFK). We describe specific technical modifications to facilit…

Endometriosis is the proliferation of endometrial tissue outside the normal confines of the myometrium or uterine cavity. Endometriosis involving the urinary tract occurs in approximately 1% to 2% of cases. The bladder is affected in 80% of…

PURPOSE: We described laparoscopic nonrefluxing ureteral reimplantation with a psoas hitch using a submucosal tunneling technique combined with cystoscopy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We performed this operation on two female patients. The first…

It is estimated that 1% of patients with endometriosis have involvement of the urinary tract, with the bladder being the most common location. Ureteral endometriosis is a rare entity, and the majority of cases are found at exploratory lapar…

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Although our understanding of ureteral physiology during acute obstruction remains limited, we believe that prostanoids (prostaglandins [PGs], thromboxanes, prostacyclins) play a major role in modulation of ureteral …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Involvement of the bladder is seen in only 1% to 2% of patients with endometriosis. The diagnosis of vesical endometriosis is difficult to formulate, and it should be confirmed by cystoscopy with biopsy. However, thi…

Two-dimensional endoluminal sonographic imaging of the ureter demonstrates the periureteral anatomy, as well as define lesions within the ureteral wall. It has been used for evaluation of a wide range of abnormalities, including ureteropelv…

Using a new laparoscopic procedure, we investigated stimulation of the cavernous nerves to achieve erection in a canine model. The technique was developed during acute experiments in four dogs, following which, chronic studies (4- to 6-week…
