INTRODUCTION: Ileal conduit (IC) is the standard urinary diversion following radical cystectomy. The formation of stone in the IC is one of the relatively common late complications of the procedure. CASE REPORT: The case of 69-year-old man who developed 10-cm large stone in the IC, six years after cystectomy is presented. CONCLUSION: The majority of patients with the stone in IC can be treated with minimally invasive techniques, like manual extraction, or endoscopic procedures.

Ureteral double-J (DJ) stenting is a common urologic procedure in several ureteral surgeries and has been used to manage ureteral obstructions during pregnancy. It may result in early and late complications. We review a rare case of migration of the DJ stent into the cardiovascular system in a pregnant female. We also review the literature. The endoscopic procedure to remove this displacement has been done postnatally with no adverse effects.

Abstract Introduction Ileal conduits are common following cystectomy for benign or malignant disease of the bladder. They are associated with late complications such as parastomal hernias, strictures, infections and rarely conduit stone formation. We present a previously unreported case of a significant abdominal wall abscess secondary to a very large perforating conduit stone. Case Report A 59-year-old female with an established ileal conduit due to multiple sclerosis presented acutely with abdominal pain, peristomal mass and fever. A CT showed a large (40mm) calcification with a fluid collection adjacent to the conduit in the subcutaneous tissues. Emergency incision and drainage of the abscess revealed a large abscess cavity containing a stone. Conduitoscopy demonstrated a narrow stoma and a perforation between the abscess cavity and the lumen of the conduit suggesting extrusion of the stone through an eroded area in the wall of the conduit. A Foley catheter was inserted to bypass the perforation. The patient recovered well after the procedure with the addition of antibiotics. Subsequent conduitoscopy showed closure of the perforation with these measures. Conclusions Conduit stones are rare but have the potential to perforate the urinary conduit. We believe that the subcutaneous location of the perforation allowed it to go unnoticed and the stone to achieve a significant size before acting as a nidus for infection. A more proximal perforation would likely result in an intraperitoneal urine leak and earlier presentation with an acute abdomen.

AbstractIntroductionThoracic endovascular aneurysm repair has been employed to treat late complications after aortic coarctation correction. However, its use in children has seldomly been reported.Case reportWe present the case of a 15-year-old child who presented with a ruptured aneurysm of the descending aorta complicated later by an aortic-oesophageal fistula following aortic coarctation stenting that was managed with multiple bridging endovascular interventions until a definitive repair was performed.ConclusionThoracic endovascular aneurysm repair may be used successfully as a bridging intervention to a definitive repair in children with life-threatening aortic complications following aortic coarctation repair.

Obesity is a common condition in westernized countries and it is increasing in prevalence in both pediatric and adult populations. Morbidity associated with severe obesity can be life threatening. Surgical intervention has demonstrated efficacy at reduction of morbidity and mortality resulting from obesity. The laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) is a well-known bariatric procedure which has been popular for its minimally invasive approach. Several early and late complications from this procedure have been reported in the literature. The most common complications involve slippage of the band and local inflammatory processes related to the subcutaneous port site. This case report describes a 59-year-old female who developed a bowel obstruction secondary to a cecal volvulus caused by adhesions to her gastric band connecting tube. This is another example of one of the many growing, yet unusual complications associated with the LABG.

Aim To present a new therapy for Poland syndrome (PS) using a novel surgical approach: the vertical expandable prosthetic titanium rib (VEPTR) system. Methods The VEPTR system rib-to-rib variant was used to enhance the chest wall and vertebral column support in a young patient before walking age. Case Report We present a 12-month-old infant diagnosed with left-sided PS at the age of 6 months associated with missing ribs, scoliosis, and absence of the left pectoral muscles. Because of four missing ribs, paradoxical breathing was present. In addition, the left scapula was protruding into the chest due to the missing rib support. Scoliosis was caused by a left-sided nonsegmented bar of the thoracic spine. Results We decided to use the VEPTR system before the patient reached walking age to prevent progression of column deformation and future pulmonary problems. To improve the spinal deformity, to stabilize the thorax, and to improve thoracic function, we performed the operation at 1 year of age. At 10-month follow-up, the patient was reevaluated. The construction was still stable and scoliosis had not deteriorated. Conclusion The VEPTR system is a choice of treatment in young patients with PS to prevent late complications after a child reaches walking age.
