ABSTRACT
Nephrolithiasis represents a common cause of non-obstetrical abdominal pain during pregnancy with 1 out of 200 pregnancies being affected. 20%-30% of patients require ureteroscopy. Many studies were done on safety of holmium:yttrium-aluminium-garnet (YAG) during pregnancy but none on Thulium Fiber Laser (TFL). To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of pregnant patient with nephrolithiasis that was treated using ureteroscopy and TFL. We present a 28 years old pregnant woman that presented to our hospital with a left distal ureteric stone. Patient underwent URS and lithotripsy using TFL. The procedure was tolerated with no complications.
ABSTRACT
Bladder leiomyoma is a rare benign tumor that can be found in different bladder parts. Leiomyomas can be investigated through a computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), along with cystoscopy, and surgical intervention is considered the standard treatment for this type of cancer. Our case is a 36-year-old female who presented to a urology clinic with lower abdominal pain and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) for three months. The patient was investigated using MRI and was found to have intramural bladder leiomyoma, which was treated with partial cystectomy with bladder mass resection as it is the gold standard treatment.
