5. • Important questions
– Obstruction is unilateral or bilateral
– Any complicating factor
– What is the cause of obstruction
6. • Diagnosis of obstruction
– Ultrasound KUB
• Duplex ultrasound
• Ureteric Jets
• Diagnosis of cause
– Ultrasound KUB
– X ray KUB
– IVP
– CT Urogram
– MAG Scan
– Antegrade pyelogram
– Retrograde pyelogram
7. • Goal of treatment
– Preserve renal functions
– Prevent sepsis
– Avoid renal replacement therapy
– Treatment of cause
8. • Treatment of
obstruction only
– Percutaneous
nephrostomy
– Double J stenting
– Infection
– Renal failure
– Severe pain
– Extensive workup
required
– Longer waiting list for
definitive treatment
9. • Percutaneous
nephrostomy
– Less invasive
– Easier to perform in sick
patients
– Can not be performed
without knowing the
definitive obstructing cause
• Double J stenting
– Need anesthesia / sedation
– Need to know the
obstructing cause
– Can fail
– Can worsen sepsis
– Can obstruct
– Better for coagulopathy
states
10. • No PCN, NO DJ
– Non obstructed hydronephrosis
– Poor functioning renal unit
– Unilateral obstruction with no complicating factors
– Definitive treatment can be given
– Renal parenchymal disease
– Bladder outlet obstruction
11. • 35 year old male presents in ER with
complains of Pain in his right scrotum since 2
days
– What are the important points in history
– How will u examine
12. • Causes of Acute scrotal Pain
– Epidydimo-orchitis
– Torsion of testis
– Trauma
– Torsion of appendix testis
– Obstructed inguinal hernia
– Hemorrhage in testicular mass
– Infected hydrocele
14. • Examination
– Examine normal side first
– Erythema
– Shape of swelling
– Get above swelling
– Tenderness
– Frehen’s test
– Discharge at meatus
– Abdominal exam
