[Retroperitoneoscopy to extract an amorphous matrix calculus of the right kidney].

The female patient underwent multiple extracorporal shockwave treatments and an ureterorenoscopy during which an amorphous renal mass was found. A retroperitoneoscopy was performed with extraction of a large amorphous matrix calculus. Today, the prevalence of matrix calculi is very low. They are associated with and caused by urinal-infections. Delayed diagnosis in radiological-imaging procedures is typical for these stones. The minimal-invasive approach via retroperitoneoscopy seems to be an intriguing alternative to the established procedures like percutaneous nephrolitholapaxy.

[Urethral strictures--operative strategy].

Urethral strictures are very commonly encountered in urologists' day-to-day work. Many specific therapeutic and reconstructive procedures are available for treatment of the different types of urethral stricture, all of which can be recommended when the indications for each are carefully observed. This paper highlights operative concepts that allow a surgical therapy that is tailored to the localisation and length of the stricture and the severity of spongiofibrosis.

[Bladder injury. Diagnostics and treatment].

Bladder injuries are caused by high-energy blunt trauma that disrupt the bony pelvis, a direct blow to a distended bladder, penetrating injuries, or various iatrogenic causes. When diagnosis is prompt and treatment adequate respecting the other possible injuries, complications from bladder injuries are rare. Problems may occur when the diagnosis is delayed. A systematic approach following the prescribed guidelines will help to successfully manage these cases.

[Infected upper renal pole in a duplex system with paravaginal abscess].

INTRODUCTION: Diagnosis of afunctional duplex systems may be delayed as they are often associated with misleading and atypical symptoms. A 40-year-old female with no history of urological disease exemplifies this thesis. CASE REPORT: Symptoms at admission were fever with pain in the right flank and lower abdomen. Sonography showed a large unclear structure at the upper pole of the right kidney and a paravaginal abscess, which was drained primarily. Rising temperature led to examination by CT-scan, which revealed a renal abscess of the upper pole, suggesting a right extopic ureter. After percutaneous drainage, further examinations (antegrade pyelography and IVP) confirmed an ectopic, blind-ending duplex ureter with a hydropyonephrotic upper renal system on the right side. Upper poole resection with ureterectomy was performed. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with unclear abscesses in the area of the external genitalia, congenital anomalies of the urinary tract should be considered as an underlying disease.
