Spotlight — Management of pyelovesical bypass device stones
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Pyelovesical bypass devices or artificial ureters have been described as a last resort in patients with long ureteral strictures that fail traditional endoscopic and open repair. Herein, we describe a 52-year-old female who had a Detour (Coloplast, Humlebaek, Denmark) pyelovesical bypass device inserted after an iatrogenic ischemic injury to the distal two-thirds of the left ureter during pelvic surgery for recurrent endometrial stromal sarcoma. Six months after placement of the device, she presented with gross hematuria and recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) and was found to have encrustation of the distal silicone tip of the Detour device within the bladder. This was managed with resection of the distal silicone tip and flexible ureteroscopy with holmium laser lithotripsy. Despite suppressive antibiotic therapy and medical therapy for hypercalciuria, she presented four years later with intraluminal encrustations in the proximal end of the device. This was successfully managed with flexible ureteroscopy with holmium laser lithotripsy. Therefore, this case illustrates the feasibility of flexible ureteroscopy and holmium laser lithotripsy of Detour device encrustations as long as the device is not kinked and it allows the passage of the flexible ureteroscope up to the calcifications. In addition, patients contemplating insertion of such devices should be counselled regarding the risk of recurrent infections and encrustations.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
