⚠ Case of the week! 𝐀 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐟𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐥𝐚 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐧𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐬. Can a fistula, such a devastating clinical situation, be ever called "simple"? Can we be reassuring to the patient that the prognosis will be good? Simple fistula with good prognosis, according to the WHO: 𝘈 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦, 𝘷𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘧𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘭𝘢, <4𝘤𝘮, 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘷𝘰𝘭𝘷𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘤𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘮𝘦𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘮 𝘰𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴, 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘤𝘪𝘳𝘤𝘶𝘮𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵, 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘭 𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘯𝘰 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘧𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘵𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘳 𝘪𝘵. 𝐃𝐢𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 a vesicovaginal fistula depends a lot on the patient’s history, typically involving absolute urinary incontinence during day and night, commencing after a surgical intervention/prolonged delivery. Its treatment may be 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 or 𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒈𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍. 1. If the fistula is <5mm, a urinary catheter may be used for up to 30 days. 2. Cystoscopy and fulguration for small fistulae, followed by prolonged catheterization. 3. Vaginal repair. 4. Transabdominal (laparoscopic/robotic) repair. My 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐬 are: - Make sure to prevent the formation of a fistula by adhering to optimal obstetric and surgical practices. - If there is a fistula, timely diagnosis is important. - Treatment is possible. This patient became abruptly incontinent after gynecological surgery and her gynecologist offered her a TVT. It was a good thing that she asked for a second opinion... don't you think? See you next week! #gynaecologia #urogynecology #urology #gynecology #ultrasound

Ectopic ureter happens when a person is born with a ureter in the wrong position (the tube drains pee from the kidney to the wrong place). This wrong place can be the bladder neck, rectum, seminal vesicles(gland thag help with semen production), urethra, womb(uterus), cervix, vagina, vas-deferens(ejaculatory duct). The condition is present at birth but can be difficult to diagnose. Ureteral Ectopia/Ectopic ureter affects female than male. 80% of cases are associated with duplex kidneys. Other common association include; - Hydronephrosis(swelling in your kidney) - Ureterocele Symptoms include; - Frequent/recurrent urinary tract infection - Incontinence - Swelling in the abdomen caused by swelling of the kidney due to obstruction. Ectopic Ureter can be diagnosed with the following investigation. - IVU (Intravenous Urography) - Voiding Cysto-Urethrogram - CT/MRI Scan. - Ultrasound For Ultrasound the presence of a duplex kidney with hydronephrosis in the upper pole(most common) with normal lower pole gives a hint of the possibility. Surgery can correct the problem and prevent kidney damage. #sonography #sonographystudent #ARDMS #sonographycanada #ultrasoundtech #sonographers #clinicalimaging #ultrasound #ultrasoundscan  #radiologytech #radiologist #clinicalimaging #urology #uroclinic #nephrology #nephrologist #radiographers

🌟 Understanding the Benefits of RIRS 🌟 Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS) is a revolutionary approach in urology, offering numerous advantages for patients dealing with kidney stones. Here are some key benefits: -Minimally Invasive: RIRS involves less trauma compared to traditional surgeries, leading to reduced recovery times and hospital stays. -Higher Success Rates: With advanced visualization and instrumentation, RIRS allows for effective stone removal, often with fewer complications. -Preservation of Kidney Function: This technique helps maintain healthy kidney tissue, minimizing the risk of long-term damage. -Quick Recovery: Many patients experience faster recovery, returning to normal activities sooner. -Reduced Pain and Discomfort: The minimally invasive nature leads to less postoperative pain, enhancing patient comfort. As we continue to innovate in the field of urology, RIRS is a game-changer for both patients and healthcare providers. Let’s keep advancing together! #Urology #RIRS #PatientCare #MinimallyInvasiveSurgery #biorad #urolase #livasa

SURGERIES FOR THE KIDNEYS WORLD KIDNEY DAY: Kidney Health For All   Our kidneys, the bean-shaped organs work tirelessly to filter waste and toxins from our blood, regulate blood pressure, and produce essential hormones. Kidney health often goes unnoticed until problems arise.
