Abstract

Percutaneous approach to complicated small caliceal diverticula is the first choice therapy. Generally, the open surgery is used large diverticula with renal parenchymal damage but, in selected cases, a percutaneous (PCN) treatment may be an effective alternative. The Authors report a case of inferior caliceal diverticulum associated to a parenchymal damage successfully treated using directed PCN management (electrical fulguration) and consequent injection of human fibrin glue.

Giant lithiasis in a female urethral diverticulum.

The formation of gallstones in a urethral diverticulum is a rare clinical entity and is usually seen in males. The case of a 50 year old woman is presented, who consults for hard vaginal mass and dispareunia associated with repeated urinary infections, with radiological images and an interesting photoendoscopic vision of the upper dome of the gallstone. The diverticulum was approached via vaginal way and the local extraction was successful.
