We performed a right heminephrectomy in a patient with pyelorenal duplicity, pseudostaghorn stone in nonfunctioning superior pyelon and a history of right perirenal abscess. The history, indications, variations and complications of this surgical procedure are briefly described. The importance of performing a complete evaluation prior to surgery is emphasized.
We report on a 75-year-old male patient with inverted transitional cell papilloma located on the right side of the bladder, behind the prostate lobe. It was a large (4 x 4 x 0.9 cm) exophytic, papillary tumor with a wide base and all the gross features of a typical transitional cell tumor of the bladder. The presenting symptom was gross hematuria and treatment was by transurethral resection. The literature is briefly reviewed.
We report on a patient who had previously undergone ESWL and had a double-J catheter indwelling for 32 months. Both ends of the catheter were found to be completely calcified. Renal function and morphology were completely recovered following removal of the catheter. Like other authors, we believe that urinary drainage around the double-J catheter will suffice in some cases.

We report a case of complicated renal lithiasis which had been successfully treated by conservative surgery. The present case shows that this surgical procedure continues to be a valid therapeutic option for this pathology, although occasionally the new, less invasive treatment modalities that continue to develop are utilized in the treatment of renal lithiasis far beyond the indications.
