“…It has been stated in the past that between 5% and 30% of unfixed contralateral testes would undergo subsequent torsion [2]. This incidence was based on a small series and is rather difficult to confirm since nowadays most surgeons systematically fix the contralateral testis in cases of intravaginal torsion.…”

“…As many other studies had shown, in our study the stone size was an independent variable that affected the stone-free rate, but which could be improved by second procedure. It was documented that the rate of lower pole calyceal diverticula was 10-43 % in different studies [6,8,22]. Some studies described difficulties in accessing the lower pole calyceal diverticula, and retrograde treatment of such diverticula is associated with a significantly lower success rate in some patients [21,23].…”

To evaluate the outcome of RIRS in managing symptomatic calyceal diverticular as a minimally invasive option, we retrospectively reviewed the records of 43 patients who underwent RIRS from 2005 to 2014 for symptomatic calyceal diverticular stones. A month after the initial operation, the success rate was (81.4%, 35 patients) of which 21 (48.83%) patients were stone free and 14 (32.6%) patients had clinically insignificant residual fragments (CIRFs), and 90% patients were symptom free. Eight patients (16.6%) had significant residual fragments (>3 mm), five of them became completely stone free after the second procedure, other three patients were symptom free and underwent a routine follow-up. The final treatment success rate was 93.0%. The initial success rate in the lower calyx was significantly lower than the other calices (P = 0.040). In addition, the association between the stone size and the initial treatment success was significant (P = 0.036). There was no association between any of our other variables and the success rate. The mean first operative time was 60.95 ± 12.43 min (range 34-92). No major complication (Clavien III-V) occurred, although there were five minor complications (11.6%) (Clavien I-II). There were no admissions to intensive care or deaths in our series, the mean hospitalization time was 1.77 ± 0.80 days. The management of calyceal diverticular calculus with RIRS is highly effective and can be accomplished with low morbidity.

“…Similarly, the fact that the fundus of the bladder was tumour-free at necropsy excludes a urachal origin on topographical grounds. Abeshouse (1943) states that 2 per cent of all tumours of the normally situated bladder are adenocarcinomata; that these arise from the trigone and urethral orifice, where mucous glands are usually situated. They occur in the sixth and seventh decades and affect men more commonly than women.…”
