BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Endourology has evolved rapidly for the management of both benign and malignant disease of the upper urinary tract. Limited data exist, however, on the occupational hazards posed by complex endourologic procedures. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and possible causes of hand problems among endourologists who routinely perform flexible ureteroscopy compared with controls.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: An online computer survey targeted members of the Endourological Society and psychiatrists in academic and community settings. A total of 600 endourologists and 578 psychiatrists were contacted by e-mail. Invited physicians were queried regarding their practice settings …

PURPOSE: To conduct a study to assess the association between calculus location and size and the incidence of both microhematuria and symptoms of urolithiasis in a urology office environment.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: After Institutional Review Board approval, a prospective study was conducted with data from 100 consecutive patients who presented to our office with documented urolithiasis. The location (caliceal, pelvic, or ureteral) and size (
RESULTS: A total of 111 stones were found in the study population resulting in a 45.9% incidence of microhematuria. In patients with renal pelvic and ureteral stones, 67.6% demonstrated microhematuria vs 36.4% with caliceal stones, …

Historically, urologists were the primary surgeons in renal transplantation. Specialization and increased complexity of the field of transplantation, coupled with a de-emphasis of vascular surgical training in urology, has created a situation where many renal transplants are carried out by surgeons with a general surgery background. Because of its genitourinary nature, however, urological input in renal transplantation is still vital. For living donors, a urologist should be involved to help evaluate and prepare certain patients for eventual donation. This could involve both medical and surgical intervention. Additionally, urologists who carry out living donor nephrectomy maintain a sense of ownership in …

Purpose: Data regarding the treatment of ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) in horseshoe kidneys are limited. We performed a retrospective analysis of our experience with minimally invasive treatment of UPJO in patients with this anomaly. Methods: Between March of 1996 and March 2008, 9 patients with horseshoe kidneys were treated for UPJO at our institution. Of these patients, 6 were managed with retrograde endopyelotomy, 2 with laparoscopic pyeloplasty, and one by robotic pyeloplasty. Outcomes of these procedures were retrospectively reviewed. Results: A total of nine patients were available for analysis. Four of six patients who underwent endopyelotomy had available follow-up, with …

The Department of Urology at Thomas Jefferson University and Thomas Jefferson University Hospital is generally acknowledged as the oldest formal Department of Urology in the US, formally designated as the Department of Genitourinary Surgery in 1904. The Department has been under the direction of 8 chairmen and has trained over 144 residents and 25 fellows with over 200 Jefferson Medical College graduates specializing in urology. Thomas Jefferson University was originally founded as Jefferson Medical College in 1824. Dr. George McClelland petitioned Jefferson College at Cannonsburg (now Washington and Jefferson College) to add a medical school to their institution. While technically …
