Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A 38-year-old woman with a duplicated right collecting system and a history of right upper-pole heminephrectomy was referred for persistent dysuria and right lower-quadrant abdominal discomfort. Imaging identified a remnant ureter and a ureterocele filled with what appeared to be a large homogenous stone. At cystoscopy, the ureterocele was incised with a holmium:YAG laser, releasing a large quantity of white milky fluid (milk of calcium). There was no evidence of any solid material. Endoscopic evaluation should be the first step in patients with stones in a ureteral stump because milk of calcium may be the etiology of what appears to be a large stone burden in an obstructed system. |
