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]

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]

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]
