Dry
- B.
In saline
- C.
In formalin
- D.
In distilled water
Correct Answer
A. DryExplanation
When stones are removed during surgery, they should be sent to the laboratory in a dry state. This is because sending them in a dry state helps to preserve their integrity and prevent any potential contamination or damage. Additionally, keeping the stones dry allows for easier examination and analysis in the laboratory, as they will not be affected by any residual fluids or substances.Rate this question:

Following anastomosis of a ureter during a ureteral reimplantation procedure, a __________ is left in place to ensure free drainage of the kidney postoperatively.
- A.
Foley catheter
- B.
Ureteral catheter
- C.
T-tube
- D.
Soft stent
Correct Answer
D. Soft stentExplanation
A soft stent is left in place to ensure free drainage of the kidney postoperatively following an anastomosis of a ureter during a ureteral reimplantation procedure. The stent helps to keep the ureter open and allows urine to flow freely from the kidney to the bladder. This helps to prevent any obstruction or leakage of urine and promotes proper healing and recovery after the surgery.Rate this question:

The combined correction of a redundant renal pelvis and resection of a stenotic portion of the ureteropelvic junctions is known as
- A.
Pyeloplasty
- B.
Foley Y-V procedure
- C.
Ureteroplasty
- D.
Ureteropyeloscopy
Correct Answer
B. Foley Y-V procedureExplanation
Pyeloplasty is the correct answer. Pyeloplasty is a surgical procedure that involves the correction of a redundant renal pelvis and the resection of a stenotic portion of the ureteropelvic junctions. It is performed to relieve the obstruction and improve the drainage of urine from the kidney to the bladder. The Foley Y-V procedure, ureteroplasty, and ureteropyeloscopy are not specifically related to the correction of a redundant renal pelvis and resection of a stenotic portion of the ureteropelvic junctions.Rate this question:

A reverse sterilization procedure in the male is called a (n)
- A.
Vasostomy
- B.
Vasovasostomy
- C.
Epididymovasostomy
- D.
B and C
Correct Answer
D. B and CExplanation
A reverse sterilization procedure in the male is called a vasovasostomy or an epididymovasostomy. Both options B and C are correct because they refer to different types of reverse sterilization procedures in males. A vasovasostomy involves reconnecting the vas deferens, while an epididymovasostomy involves connecting the vas deferens directly to the epididymis. Both procedures aim to restore fertility in men who have previously undergone sterilization.Rate this question:

Before insertion of a penile implant, the insertion site, as well as the implant itself, is irrigated with
- A.
Normal saline
- B.
Betadine
- C.
Sterile water
- D.
Kanamycin and Bacitracin
Correct Answer
D. Kanamycin and BacitracinExplanation
Kanamycin and Bacitracin are antibiotics that are commonly used to prevent infection during surgical procedures. In the case of penile implant insertion, it is important to minimize the risk of infection at the insertion site and around the implant. Therefore, irrigating the insertion site and the implant with Kanamycin and Bacitracin helps to reduce the chances of bacterial contamination and subsequent infection. Normal saline, Betadine, and sterile water do not possess the same antimicrobial properties as Kanamycin and Bacitracin, making them less effective in preventing infection in this context.Rate this question:

To prevent thrombi from forming in the walls of the renal vein during transfer from the donor to the recipient, __________ is given just before clamping of the renal vessels.
- A.
Furosemide
- B.
Protamine sulfate
- C.
Heparin
- D.
Mannitol
Correct Answer
C. HeparinExplanation
Heparin is given just before clamping of the renal vessels to prevent thrombi from forming in the walls of the renal vein during transfer from the donor to the recipient. Heparin is an anticoagulant medication that works by inhibiting the formation of blood clots. By administering heparin, the risk of thrombi formation in the renal vein is reduced, ensuring a successful transfer of the kidney without any complications related to blood clotting.Rate this question:
