Background: Ureteroscopic lithotripsy using a semi-rigid ureteroscope is the standard treatment for urinary stones. Doxazosin-an alpha-1 adrenergic receptor blocker-relaxes ureteral smooth muscles, reducing peristalsis and contraction frequency. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of adjunctive doxazosin before semi-rigid ureteroscopy and retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) for urinary stones.

Background: Urinary stone treatment is of interest from a health-economic point of view because of competing technical approaches, high incidence and high recurrence rates. In France, since the release of the activity-based funding called T2A (for Tarification A l'Activité), concerns about possibly induced overactivity have been increasing. A flat-sum-based payment per stone episode has even been proposed.

Rationale: Ureteral stricture is a complex urological condition often requiring surgical intervention. Autologous tissue grafts, such as lingual mucosa, have emerged as a promising option for reconstruction due to their favorable biocompatibility and vascularity. However, reports on complications associated with these techniques remain limited.

Rationale: Tracheomalacia, typically seen in relapsing polychondritis,[1] is rarely reported in association with congenital heart disease (CHD). In patients with pulmonary hypoperfusion-type CHD, surgical repair results in a rapid increase in pulmonary blood flow, predisposing them to mucus retention, airway obstruction, and respiratory distress. We describe acute airway collapse in a patient with double outlet right ventricle and congenital bronchial stenosis following cardiac repair.

Endoscopic vacuum therapy (EVT) offers an effective alternative for the treatment of anastomotic leakage. Current treatment options for leakage include conservative treatment, stent placement, or reoperation. However, conservative treatment often results in slow recovery and is frequently ineffective in severe cases.
