RESUMO

Segmental testicular infarction is an uncommon condition, of which the majority of cases are idiopathic. Cases associated with atherosclerotic disease are extremely rare, with only two other cases reported in the literature to our knowledge. We report the case of a 71-year-old man who presented with left testicular pain and a mass. Ultrasound imaging confirmed an upper pole left testicular mass, and he subsequently underwent radical inguinal orchidectomy for presumed testicular malignancy. Histological analysis revealed a segmental testicular infarction related to arterial atheroma. Segmental testicular infarction can mimic other pathologies, such as testicular torsion or cancer, resulting in misdiagnosis and potentially unnecessary surgery. Increased awareness of the risk factors and clinical features may help clinicians identify and appropriately manage this uncommon pathology.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To describe the perioperative characteristics and outcomes in dogs that underwent transperitoneal laparoscopic ureteronephrectomy (TLU) for primary renal neoplasia. STUDY DESIGN: Short case series. ANIMALS: Seven client-owned dogs. METHODS: Medical records were reviewed and data extracted regarding perioperative characteristics and animal outcomes. TLU was performed using a single-port + 1 or multiple port techniques. Hemostatic clips or a vessel-sealing device were used for occlusion of renal hilar vessels. The ureter was occluded and transected close to the ureterovesicular junction and the tumor was placed in a specimen retrieval bag for extraction from the abdomen. RESULTS: Preoperative contrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT) was performed in 6/7 dogs. Median estimated tumor volume measured from abdominal CECT removed by TLU was 32.42 cm3 (interquartile range [IQR] 14.76-94.85). Median surgery time for TLU was 90 minutes (IQR 85-105). In one dog, elective conversion to open laparotomy was performed due to large tumor size. Median time to discharge was 31 hours (IQR 24-48). No major perioperative complications occurred and all dogs survived to discharge. Progression free survival in four dogs was 422 days (IQR 119-784). CONCLUSION: TLU was performed for the extirpation of modest sized primary renal tumors with acceptable perioperative outcomes and a low complication rate. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: TLU may be considered for the treatment of selected cases of primary renal neoplasia in dogs.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate urology patient satisfaction with telephone consultations during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: All patients who received a telephone appointment in a 1-month period were invited to complete a questionnaire. An adaption of the Telehealth Satisfaction Scale (TeSS) was used. Patient responses were compared based on type of clinic, age and gender. RESULTS: 119 questionnaires were completed. The majority of responses to the adapted TeSS (Q1-7) were graded as 'Excellent', ranging from 79 (66%) to 112 (94%). 'Agree' responses ranged from 92 (77%) to 117 (98%) for questions (Q8-12), indicating high satisfaction. Patients consulted in post radical prostatectomy and PSA surveillance clinics gave a significantly greater number of 'Excellent' or 'Agree' responses. Older age was associated with a significantly greater number of 'Agree' responses to one item only. Responses were not affected by gender. CONCLUSION: Our study demonstrates high overall satisfaction with the use of telephone consultations among urology patients. For some patients, telephone consultations are more suitable and may be utilised more frequently in the future. However, it is clear that in selected cases face-to-face consultations are required for safe, comprehensive clinical assessment.

RESUMO

One male and one female dog were presented with giant kidney worm infection in the right kidney. Infection was identified through visualization of intra-renal Dioctophyme renale on abdominal ultrasound. Both dogs underwent right-sided laparoscopic ureteronephrectomy for treatment of the giant kidney worm infection. Additional adult worms were extirpated from the peritoneal cavity of both dogs. Both dogs recovered without complication from anesthesia and surgery and were discharged within 24 hours after surgery. Laparoscopic ureteronephrectomy has not previously been described for the treatment of giant kidney worm infection in North America.


Urétéro-néphrectomie laparoscopique pour le traitement d'une infection par le ver géant du rein chez deux chiens. Un chien mâle et un chien femelle furent présentés avec une infection par le ver géant du rein dans le rein droit. L'infection fut identifiée par visualisation de Dioctophyme renale intra-rénal par échographie abdominale. Les deux chiens furent soumis à une urétéro-néphrectomie laparoscopique pour le traitement de l'infection par le ver géant du rein. Des vers adultes additionnels furent retirés de la cavité péritonéale des deux chiens. Les deux chiens ont récupéré sans complication de l'anesthésie et de la chirurgie et ont obtenu leur congé en moins de 24 h après la chirurgie. L'urétéro-néphrectomie laparoscopique n'avait pas encore été décrite en Amérique du Nord pour le traitement de l'infection par le ver géant du rein.(Traduit par Dr Serge Messier).
