Case Report: Holmium Laser Removal Of Antegrade Ureteral Stent Suture Via Ureteroscopy, Paul Chialastri, Jerome Pietras, Thomas Mueller

Antegrade placement of ureteral stents is common after nephrostomy tube placement for obstruction in the septic patient and when retrograde placement fails. Ureteral stents have a nylon retaining suture attached to aid in placement. If left in place accidentally, these will not degrade and will become embedded in the renal parenchyma preventing stent removal and potentially leading to infection and stone formation. Ureteroscopic holmium ablation of the residual suture at the level of the parenchyma allows for stent removal and no urothelial defect was noted on repeat ureteroscopy 3 weeks later. Ureteroscopy with holmium lasering of retained suture appears safe …

Proper visualization of the surgical field during any procedure is one of the most imperative elements of surgery. The tools used to obtain this goal come with their own set of risks. This report describes a patient who developed postoperative acalculous cholecystitis (PAC) after use of a Nathan liver retractor. PAC is a rare complication of urologic surgery and is often more severe than acalculous cholecystitis (AC), leading to significant morbidity.

A Case Of Atraumatic Posterior Thigh Compartment Syndrome, Nailah Mubin, Brian Katt M.D.

Compartment syndrome(CS) occurs when intra-compartmental pressures exceeds to a point where arterial, venous and lymphatic circulation of local tissues, muscles and nerves is compromised. CS is most common after a traumatic injury and usually occurs in the leg or forearm and less commonly in the thigh. Thigh compartment syndrome is rare due to its larger size and more compliant borders. We present a case of nontraumatic compartment syndrome in the posterior thigh associated with rhabdomyolysis and a sciatic nerve palsy which then required emergent fasciotomy. The patient's course was further complicated by acute renal failure due to the rhabdomyolysis and …

Renal failure, both acute and chronic, can present from many different etiologies and if diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, it is commonly assumed to be due to diabetic nephropathy. Monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance (MGRS) is a disorder that combines monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance with end stage renal disease. Monoclonal immunoglobulins are secreted by B or plasma cells leading to deposition in the kidney causing end organ damage. Several different subtypes fall under this category of renal diseases including, but not limited to, amyloidosis, C3 glomeruopathy, and light chain proximal tubulopathy, or better known as Fanconi syndrome1. Fanconi syndrome, which …
