Presented is a case report of spontaneous rupture of the renal parenchyma associated with urinoma. A 3-year-old boy had a history of transient gross hematuria followed by sudden onset of left flank pain. Echograms and computed tomographic (CT) scan revealed a left hydronephrotic kidney with perirenal urinoma which had a cyclic change in size corresponding to the pain. Left retrograde pyelogram showed stenosis of the ureteropelvic junction without extravasation of contrast medium. A pin-hole tear was detected in the middle of the left renal parenchyma on exploratory surgery. Left pyeloplasty and retroperitoneal drainage were performed. The postoperative course was satisfactory. Spontaneous rupture of the renal parenchyma, which is frequently caused by renal tumor, vascular disease and/or infection, seems to be seldom caused by increased renal intrapelvic pressure as in rupture of the renal pelvis.

Short-term (1 or 2 post-operative days) ureteral catheter stenting after transurethral uretero-lithotomy (TUL) to avoid flank pain due to transient ureteral edema is described. Patients who underwent TUL for middle or distal ureteral stones with a rigid ureteroscope without complications during the procedures were the candidates for short-term ureteral stenting. An end-hole ureteral catheter, used to insert a guide wire during TUL, were used for stenting. The tip of the catheter was located near the renal pelvis and the other end was introduced outside through the urethra with a 14 F urethral catheter. The stent and catheter were removed on post-operative day 1 or 2. For the 18 patients treated using this method, the time of analgesic use after stent removal was 0.6+/-0.8, indicating a sufficient duration of stenting. Short-term ureteral catheter stenting is a cheap and easy way for post-operative management for uncomplicated TUL.
