Chronic urinary schistosomiasis may lead to obstructive uropathy, contracted bladder secondary to ureteral calcific fibrosis. Appropriate surgical intervention , guided by renal function, bladder capacity and meticulous follow-up may lead to excellent long term urogenital outcomes , following simple cystectomy with orthotopic continent neocystoplasty

Introduction: Cystine stone development is relatively uncommon among patients with urolithiasis, and most studies have reported only on small sample sizes and short follow-up periods. We evaluated clinical courses and treatment outcomes of patients with cystine stones with long-term follow-up at our center. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 22 patients diagnosed with cystine stones between January 1989 and May 2019. Results: The median follow-up was 160 (range 6–340) months, and the median patient age at diagnosis was 46 (range 12–82) years. All patients underwent surgical interventions at the first visit (4 extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy, 5 ureteroscopy, and 13 percutaneous nephrolithotripsy). The median number of stone events and surgical interventions per year was 0.45 (range 0–2.6) and 0.19 (range 0–1.3) after initial surgical intervention. The median time to stone events and surgical intervention was 2 years and 3.25 years, respectively. There was a significant difference in time to stone events and second surgical intervention when patients were divided at 50 years of age at diagnosis (p = 0.02, 0.04, respectively). Conclusions: Only age at a diagnosis under 50 was significantly associated with recurrent stone events and intervention. Adequate follow-up and treatment are needed to manage patients with cystine stones safely.

The efficacy of a short leg walking cast in the treatment of chronic plantar heel pain was assessed for 32 patients with 37 involved extremities treated over a 2-year period. All patients had failed numerous other treatment modalities and had been symptomatic for an average of 1 year. Long-term follow-up for 24 patients with 28 involved extremities revealed complete resolution of pain for 7 extremities (25%), improvement for 17 (61%), and no improvement for 4 (14%). Ten (42%) patients were completely satisfied with cast treatment, 3 (12%) were satisfied with reservations, and 11 (46%) were dissatisfied. Casting appears to be a reasonable option for patients with recalcitrant heel pain and should be offered before surgical intervention.

We present the clinical outcome of patients who underwent RE-MOTION Total Wrist Replacement (TWR) for the treatment of Rheumatoid arthritis involving the wrist. Ten patients were available for follow-up, ranging from one to five years after index surgery. Two patients required surgical intervention for wound breakdown, including one patient who required a radial forearm flap for skin coverage. No patients required revision surgery or conversion to fusion. Patients who did not have complications gained statistically significant pain relief and improvement in mean overall flexion. In this small case series with short to medium results patients reported an improvement in terms of flexion and pain. Despite this, the question of efficacy of TWR compared to fusion in the long term remains unanswered due to the high rate of complications.
