Transvaginal deligation of complete obstruction after delayed presentation has not been described. We present two cases of ureteral ligation after pelvic reconstructive surgery. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Left Flank Pain

  A 45-year-old male admitted to our clinic of symptoms with moderate left flank pain and intermittant macroscopic hematuria. During the last 6 months these complaints had worsened. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Hypertension

• Flank Pain

  A 45-year-old male admitted to our clinic of symptoms with moderate left flank pain and intermittant macroscopic hematuria. During the last 6 months these complaints had worsened. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Ureteral Disorder

  Underlying ureteral disorder, preoperative and postoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and imaging studies regarding resolution of hydronephrosis were assessed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The diagnosis, workup, and treatment are outlined. Consistent with radiographic findings, the stone was a primary vaginal stone which eroded into the bladder, the nidus of the stone being a vaginal foreign body. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

[…] providing insufficient utility as a single diagnostic test in the evaluation of children suspected of having VUR, such as those presenting with prenatal hydronephrosis or urinary tract infection (UTI).[2] VCUG is the method of choice for grading and initial workup [en.wikipedia.org]

This modality provides the same information as IVP without depending on renal function and can be used when the risks of IVP are considered too great Ultrasonography – This is the procedure of choice for determining the presence of hydronephrosis See Workup [emedicine.medscape.com]

• Ovarian Mass

  This case suggests that ureteral obstruction due to ovarian mass may cause NDI and after the surgery thiazide diuretics are effective in reducing urine output in NDI with ureteral obstruction. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Hepatocellular Carcinoma

  AIMS: Sorafenib, which has been used extensively for the treatment of renal cell cancer and advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), has also been shown to have antifibrotic effects in liver fibrosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Bladder Trabeculation

  Exclusion criteria were dysmorphic appearing distal ureter, extravesical position of the ureteral orifice, persistent urethral obstruction (e.g. after previous valve ablation) and severe bladder trabeculation, making ureteral orifice unidentifiable. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Additionally, we reviewed the clinical manifestations, natural course, management, and outcome of ureteral obstruction after endoscopic treatment. RESULTS: The incidence of ureteral obstruction after endoscopic treatment was 7.6% (10/132 ureters). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Patients with malignant ureteral obstruction generally have a poor prognosis and are often difficult to treat. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment and prognosis Treatment depends on the underlying cause. In a majority of congenital cases, the condition is benign, and usually, no intervention is required. [radiopaedia.org]

The prognosis of ureteral endometriosis depends on the time of diagnosis. [karger.com]

We also performed a secondary comparative analysis of patients with a benign vs malignant etiology of obstruction. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

It may present in both pediatric and adult populations although they tend to have differing etiology. The estimated incidence in pediatric populations is 1 per 1000-2000 newborns, and there is a male predominance (M:F 2:1). [radiopaedia.org]

METHODS: Using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results-Medicare database, we identified patients aged 65 or older with stage IV (n   10,848) or recurrent (n   7,872) prostate cancer. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Laparoscopic and robotic-assisted laparoscopic procedures are often imitation of classical open procedures in laparoscopic or robotic-assisted laparoscopic environments. [8] Epidemiology[edit] It has been estimated that VUR is present in more than 10% [en.wikipedia.org]

Epidemiology Age Urinary tract obstruction occurs most commonly in the young and the old: In older men, this is a relatively common condition due to prostatic enlargement: Incidence of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTs)/BPH averages 15 per 1,000 man-years [patient.info]

Decreased production of osmolytes in complete obstruction better elucidates the pathophysiology of progression from renal compensatory mechanisms to irrecoverable changes. [xlink.rsc.org]

Tubular proteinuria has been observed following unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO), suggesting megalin dysfunction; however, the pathophysiological mechanism has not been determined. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
