Initial investigation of childhood urinary tract infection: does the plain Abdominal X ray still have a role?
The British journal of radiology, 1991Co-Authors: Ian J. Kenney, R. J. Arthur, L. E. Sweeney, G. M. A. HendryAbstract:Abstract To reassess the plain Abdominal X ray (AXR) in the initial investigation of childhood urinary tract infection, radiologists from four paediatric units prospectively collected data on the yield from the AXR in 683 children. Five children had renal calculi. All were detected on ultrasound, but one was not visible on the initial AXR. Four spinal abnormalities were identified, none of which prompted any action by the clinician involved. While the costs, in both financial and radiation risk terms, may be small, the benefit of the AXR appears equally small. Where expert paediatric ultrasonography is available we would recommend that the AXR be reserved for patients with haematuria, loin pain, family history of calculus disease, or where further urinary tract infection occurs despite a normal ultrasound scan.

role of residual fragments on the risk of repeat surgery after flexible ureteroscopy and laser lithotripsy single center study
The Journal of Urology, 2019Co-Authors: Viacheslav Iremashvili, Kristina L Penniston, Sara L Best, Sean P Hedican, Stephen Y NakadaAbstract:Purpose:We analyzed the impact of residual stone fragments seen on Abdominal X-Ray after ureteroscopy and laser lithotripsy on the risk of repeat surgical intervention.Materials and Methods:Our study included 781 patients (802 renal units) who underwent ureteroscopy and laser lithotripsy with Abdominal X-Ray within 3 months postoperatively and who had at least 1 year of followup. Ureteroscopy and laser lithotripsy were performed using the dusting technique. We analyzed the association between surgical recurrence-free survival and the size of the largest residual fragment.Results:During a median followup of 4.2 years repeat surgery was performed on 161 renal units (20%). Of the repeat interventions 75% were done for symptomatic nephrolithiasis. Postoperative imaging showed residual stone fragments in 42% of cases. In the entire group the risk of repeat surgery was increased in renal units with residual fragments greater than 2 mm. The effect of the size of residual fragments on the risk of surgical recurre...

PLAIN Abdominal X-Ray VERSUS COMPUTERIZED TOMOGRAPHY SCREENING: SENSITIVITY FOR STONE LOCALIZATION AFTER NONENHANCED SPIRAL COMPUTERIZED TOMOGRAPHY
The Journal of urology, 2000Co-Authors: Stephen V. Jackman, Steven R. Potter, Fintan Regan, Thomas W. JarrettAbstract:Purpose: Urolithiasis followup with plain Abdominal X-Ray requires adequate visualization of the calculus on the initial X-Ray or computerized tomography (CT) study. We compared the sensitivity of plain Abdominal X-Ray versus CT for stone localization after positive nonenhanced spiral CT.Materials and Methods: We evaluated 46 consecutive nonenhanced spiral CT studies positive for upper urinary tract lithiasis for which concurrent plain Abdominal X-Rays were available. X-Ray and CT studies were compared for the ability to visualize retrospectively a stone given its location by CT. A consensus of 1 radiologist and 3 urologists was reached in each case. Cross-sectional stone size and maximum length were measured on plain Abdominal X-Ray.Results: Plain Abdominal X-Ray and scout CT had 48% (22 of 46 cases) and 17% (8 of 46) sensitivity, respectively, for detecting the index stone (p

Small bowel obstruction and perforation after Essure sterilization: a case report.
Contraception, 2012Co-Authors: Hendrik T.j. Mantel, Jacobus Wijma, Adrianus P.m. StaelAbstract:Abstract Background We present a rare but serious complication of Essure microinsert sterilization. Study Design Case report. Results A 42-year-old woman presented with nausea, vomiting, Abdominal pain and Abdominal distension 1 month after uncomplicated Essure sterilization. Abdominal X-Ray showed small bowel obstruction. At subsequent laparotomy, a stretched Essure device was found ensnaring the terminal ileum. It had caused strangulation and local perforation of the bowel wall. The device was removed and an ileocecal resection with side-to-side ileocolostomy was performed. In retrospect, the aberrant location of the right Essure device near the ileocecal junction was noticed on the Abdominal X-Ray. Conclusions This case illustrates that perforation of an Essure device can result in a serious complication leading to ileocecal resection. An Abdominal X-Ray with specific attention to the correct location of the Essure coils is advisable for patients presenting with small bowel obstruction after Essure sterilization.
