AB A  74-year-old  man  presented  with  a  2-day  history  of  severe,  steady  pain  radiating  down  to  the  lower  abdomen  and  left  testicle.  He  has  had  urinary  frequency,  nocturia,  hesitancy,  and  urinary  dribbling  for  several  years  with  slight  worsening  with  time.  CT  scan  revealed  left-sided  hydronephrosis  (Figure  71-1).  In  this  patient,  an  irregular  mass  was  seen  at  the  left  ureterovesical  junction  compressing  the  bladder.  Prostate  cancer  was  found  on  biopsy.
