Collecting System

Calyceal diverticula is a cavity that communicates with the collecting system through a narrow isthmus of the kidney. The incidence of the formation of stones in calyceal diverticula is 10-50%. This paper reports three cases of two females and one male who presented with calyceal diverticular calculi; the patients have been, arbitrarily, selected between August and February 2019 at the urology department of our university hospital. A minimally invasive treatment includes extracorporeal lithotripsy (ESWL), and F-URS (flexible ureteroscopy) was performed. We report this case series.

Bone Condition

Background: Free-handed, flaplessly placed mini dental implants (MDIs) are a valuable, more affordable and minimally invasive treatment to support overdentures in fully edentulous jaws, especially for medically compromised patients. However, critical 3D radiographic evaluation is lacking. This multicenter prospective case series assessed clinical outcome and carried out 3D- cone-beam computerized tomography (CBCT) analysis of free-handed flaplessly placed one-piece maxillary MDIs by an experienced maxillofacial surgeon. Methods: Thirty-one patients suffering from an ill-fitting maxillary denture relating to compromised bone volume (as confirmed on CBCT), with a dentate mandible, were selected. They received 5–6 MDIs free-hand flaplessly placed and mentally guided with preoperative CBCT. Final connection and attachment activation took place six months later. After two years each implant was individually assessed with CBCT for perforations on eight sites. Implant survival, prosthetic failure, clinical stability and sinus/nasal complaints were registered after three years. Results: 32/185 (17.3%) MDIs failed during the provisional loading with non-activated attachments; 17 replacements in 10 patients were performed. Of the 170 actively loaded 170 MDIs, 82.3% survived and 27/31 prostheses (87%) were fully functional. In total 98/170 MDIs showed no perforation. Based on 1360 CBCT observations, 231 perforations (16.9%) were registered. Of most perforations 37 (25%) were observed at the apical tip and 37 were positioned (21%) into the sinus/nasal cavity, although without clinical complaints. Conclusions: Given the compromised population, the minimally invasive procedure and the low treatment cost involved, a failure rate of 17% is substantial, however clinically acceptable given the critical bone condition. However, even in experienced surgical hands, freehanded and flapless placement yield a high risk for implant perforation, although this did not necessarily lead to complications.

Advantages And Disadvantages

Background: Gallstone or biliary ileus is a late complication of gallstone disease. It accounts for 1%–4% of all bowel obstructions and is more common in elderly patients. The preferred treatment option is to mechanically remove the impacted stones. It is done surgically using open or laparoscopic approach and rarely, when stones are impacted in the colon, endoscopically. In this paper we present five consecutive cases of gallstone ileus and describe possible diagnostic and minimally invasive treatment options. Case presentation: During a five-month period a total of five patients were treated for gallstone ileus. All patients were female and from 48 to 87 years of age. Symptoms were not specific and common for all small bowel obstructions. Upon admission the patients also had unspecific laboratory findings—neutrophilic leukocytosis and various C-reactive protein concentrations, ranging from 8 to 347 mg/L. According to the hospital protocol, all patients initially underwent an abdominal ultrasound, which was inconclusive, and therefore every patient additionally had a CT scan with intravenous contrast. After these two diagnostic modalities one patient still did not have the definitive gallstone ileus diagnosis, as the ectopic stone was not visible. Four patients in our case series were treated using minimally invasive methods: in one case the stone was removed endoscopically, and laparoscopically in the other three. Treatment outcomes were good in four cases as the patients fully recovered, however one patient suffered a massive cerebral infarction after the operation and passed away. Conclusions: Gallstone ileus is a rare and difficult-to-diagnose condition. Management of these patients in every case should be individualized, as there are many options, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. We show that minimally invasive treatment such as colonoscopy or laparoscopy is possible in these cases.
