Testicular torsion in adults was more common in our series than expected. Salvage of the affected testis was better in younger patients, presumably due to less twisting of the cord.
Augmentation cystoplasty carries an overall low risk of bladder calculi. Gastrocystoplasty had a significantly lower rate of stone formation than augmentation with ileum and colon. Urinary tract infection is an independent risk factor for stone formation. Endoscopic management is safe and effective in the majority of patients and it may be facilitated by a percutaneous access. Recurrent stones form in some patients despite aggressive medical management.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
