Manejo quirúrgico de la endometriosis vésico-ureteral y sus complicaciones / Surgical management of deep endometriosis

La endometriosis ureteral es una infrecuente localización de endometriosis profunda, que puede condicionar una grave disminución de la función renal de forma silenciosa. Se presenta el caso de una paciente con fibrosis peritoneal secundaria a endometriosis profunda, cuya inespecífica sintomatologia conllevó un retraso diagnóstico, permitiendo el desarrollo de hidronefrosis. Es necesario descartar la presencia de endometriosis profunda en mujeres en edad fértil con hidronefrosis de etiología desconocida.

Deep endometriosis rarely entails ureteral involvement. It may be responsible of asymptomatic loss of renal function. A 35-year-old woman, gravida 1, para 1, was managed for peritoneal fibrosis due to deep infiltrating endometriosis. The nonspecific symptoms let a delayed diagnosis and a subsequent hydronephrosis. It must be excluded the existence of deep endometriosis in women of childbearing age with hydronephrosis of unknown etiology.

Pulmonary hyalinizing granuloma with ureteric fibrosis: A case report and review of relevant literature.

A 52-year-old, asymptomatic patient presented with bilateral lung nodules on chest radiograph. She was diagnosed to have "pulmonary hyalinizing granuloma" on an open lung biopsy. We review the clinical features of this rare disease.

Retrocaval ureter with hydronephrosis

Retrocaval ureter is one of the rare congenital anomalies. We report a case of retrocaval ureter who presented with right lumbar pain, renal stone and hydronephrosis. The diagnosis was made on intravenous urography which showed typical "J" shape deformity in the proximal dilated ureter with moderate hydronephrosis. CT scan mapped out the course of ureter. The patient was operated and findings were confirmed. The ureter was transected near the pelvis, renal stone removed and a uretero-uretral anastomosis with anteriorisation of the ureter performed

Tuberculous ureteric stricture.

The management of a young woman with a ureteric stricture is a challenge to the urologist. Genitourinary tuberculosis can cause ureteric strictures, with minimal symptoms. Untreated, it can lead to impairment of renal function. Diagnosis of genitourinary tuberculosis may be delayed until histopathological assessment. Drug treatment and reconstructive surgery produce good results.

Experiencia con el cateter uretral (Pig Tail) / Experience in the urethral catheter (Pig Tail)

Se presenta la experiencia en el empleo del cáteter uretral "pig tail" en 14 pacientes portadores de uropatía obstructiva de diferente etiología (estenosis post sección quirúrgica del ureter, litiasis ureteral, estenosis por tuberculosis, metástasis retriperitoneal, etc.) que ha requerido la colocación del cáteter para lograr una derivación urinaria interna

Amiloidose primária de ureter / Primary amyloidosis of the ureter

Apresenta-se um caso de amiloidose primária de ureter, em paciente de 68 anos com sintomatologia de hematúria e dor lombar. O diagnóstico foi feito intra-operatoriamente, optando-se pela ressecçäo segmentar do ureter com reimplantaçäo uretero-vesical
