We present a simple technique to reposition an open-ended ureteric catheter in the pelvicalyceal system during percutaneous nephrolithotomy. A through-and-through glidewire is straightened using a stone-grasping forceps. The open-ended catheter is advanced in the pelvicalyceal system over this taut glidewire.
Freyer prostatectomy is infrequently indicated today. One of the blind steps in this procedure is when the urethra is disconnected at the prostatic apex. There is risk of stress urinary incontinence and damage to the sphincter. We describe a safe and a simple endoscopic technique to overcome this difficulty.
