Article Abstract
Distal ureter bladder cuff (DUBC) excision is an essential part of radical nephroureterectomy (RNU), but the technique to accomplish it remains controversial. We describe a novel technique of transurethral distal ureter balloon occlusion before detachment (TUDUBOD) whereby the affected ureter is occluded with a 5F Fogarty balloon catheter and circumferentially incised until the perivesical fat to detach it from the bladder. In the 13 patients who were treated between May 2005 and May 2010, mean surgical time for TUDUBOD was 21.3 minutes. Results for surgical margins were always negative; at mean follow-up of 39.8 months (range 16-74 mos), 4 (30.1%) patients had bladder recurrences but none occurred at the DUBC excision site or perivesical space. TUDUBOD seems to be a simple, cheap, and effective mean of managing the distal ureter during RNU that keeps with the oncologic principle of preventing tumor cell spillage outside the bladder.

A 56-year-old female presented with left loin pain, intermittent vomiting, and generalized weakness, alongside newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus and hypertension. Initial evaluation revealed a firm, vague mass in the left hypochondrium. Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography of the kidney, ureter, and bladder showed features consistent with left adrenal myelolipoma, promoting laparoscopic adrenal surgery.

We present the case of a 48-year-old man with a history of muscle-invasive bladder cancer (pT2N0M0) treated with radical cystectomy and Bricker ileal conduit diversion. He remained recurrence-free on structured surveillance for 42 months before developing isolated, painless stomal bleeding without associated systemic symptoms.

Purpose: Benign ureteroenteric anastomosis stricture (BUES) is a well-recognized long-term complication following urinary diversion (1). While endourological interventions are often first-line, their success rates are limited (2, 3). Open uretero-ileal reimplantation remains the gold standard but is technically challenging and carries high complication risks (2).

Background: In order to mitigate the risk of iatrogenic ureteral injury during surgical procedures, previous research has explored the anatomical relationship between the ureter and the lumbar spine. The primary aim of this study was to elucidate the anatomical relationship between the ureter and the lumbar vertebrae utilizing digital radiography (DR) images.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed anteroposterior DR images of the abdomen from 39 male and 40 female patients with double J ureteral stents.

Horseshoe kidney (HSK) is not an uncommon genitourinary anomaly, with incidence of about 1 in 400. Males are more commonly affected than females. HSK with a single ureter is extremely rare.
