Foreign body in the left kidney and ureter

Unforeseen encounter: After liver abscess drainage, a foreign body was found in the renal pelvis

Intrarenal foreign bodies are rare and could be iatrogenic through direct penetration, penetration through the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), or retrograde migration from the lower urinary tract. We present Intraoperatively incidental findings of an intrarenal foreign body during percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) with no previous urological intervention. However, there is a significant multiple percutaneous liver abscess drainage and endoscopic procedures. This case report of a pigtail thread rupture, likely resulting from recent hepatic abscess drainage. In conclusion, Intrarenal foreign bodies are rare, and there is no standard protocol for retrieving them. However, Treatment can be challenging by retrograde intrarenal surgery and PCNL.

Removing a large sewing needle from the left kidney parenchyma using laparoscopic technique: A case report

We present case of left flank pain and a large sewing needle in the left kidney of a 34-year-old man, which was later removed using laparoscopic approach. To the best of our knowledge, our case appears to be the second case of its kind successfully treated using laparoscopic approach.

Clinical management of foreign bodies of the genitourinary tract

PURPOSE

The variety of foreign bodies inserted into or externally attached to the genitourinary tract defies imagination and includes all types of objects. The frequency of such cases renders these objects an important addition to the diseases of the urinary organs.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

We performed a computerized MEDLINE search followed by a manual bibliographic review of cross-references. These reports were analyzed and the important findings summarized.

RESULTS

Our review encompassed approximately 800 single case reports on foreign bodies in the English world literature published between 1755 and 1999. We structured the range of introduced objects, by referring to origin and material as well as the genitourinary organs involved. Furthermore, we noted symptomatology and diagnoses, including psychological involvement, as well as possible treatment options.

CONCLUSIONS

The most common motive associated with foreign bodies of the genitourinary tract is sexual or erotic in nature. The most suitable method of removing a urethral foreign body depends on the size and mobility of the object applied to the genitourinary tract. When possible, endoscopic and minimal invasive techniques of removal should be used. However, surgical retrieval of a foreign body may be required, particularly when there is a severe associated inflammatory reaction.

Foreign body migration to the genitourinary tract

Foreign body migration from the gastrointestinal tract to any of several sites within the genitourinary tract has been well documented. We report 3 such cases involving the upper and lower urinary tract to highlight the varied presentations, manifestations and prognosis associated with this entity.

Endoscopic removal of intrarenal foreign body using dormia stone basket

The literature is replete with reports of foreign bodies found in the upper urinary tract. However, most have necessitated removal by open surgery or percutaneous nephrostomy. We describe a nonoperative removal of a foreign body from a kidney.
