RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The major strengths of surgical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia with laser are reduced morbidity compared to endoscopic resection. No studies analysed the different risk of intra/peri-operative events between patients undergoing Thulium and GreenLight procedures. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 100 consecutive cases undergoing GreenLight vaporization and Thulium procedures performed during the learning curve of two expert endoscopic surgeons. Pre-operative data, intra and post-operative events at 90 days were analysed. RESULTS: Patients on antiplatelet/anticoagulant therapy were pre-dominant in the Green group (p < 0.0001). Rates of blood transfusion (p < 0.0038), use of resectoscope (p < 0.0086), and transient stress urinary incontinence were statistically higher in the Thulium group. On the contrary conversions to TURP (p < 0.023) were more frequent in GreenLight patients. Readmissions were more frequently necessary in GreenLight group (24%) vs. Thulium group (26.6%). The overall complication rate in GreenLight and Thulium groups were 31% and 53% respectively; Clavien 3b complications were 13% in Thulium patients versus 1% in GreenLight patients. CONCLUSIONS: GreenLight and Thulium treatments show similar safety profiles. Randomized controlled trial are needed to better clarify the rate of major complications in Thulium group, and the incidence of post-operative storage symptoms in these patients' populations.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The cysts of the male pelvic floor represent a rare clinical entity. Their origin is linked to an altered development of paramesonephric and mesonephric ducts during embryogenesis. CASE PRESENTATION: We report our experience regarding two patients presenting cysts of the ejaculatory system treated with open and mini-invasive surgery. The patients referred to our clinic with nonspecific symptoms and the diagnosis was obtained by radiological investigations. The patient treated with an open approach developed a pelvic purulent collection and a fistula of the prostatic urethra, managed with surgical drainage and prolonged bladder catheterization. On the other hand, the patient treated with laparoscopic approach did not develop any complications. No sexual or ejaculatory disorders were reported. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with congenital cysts of the pelvic floor must be adequately informed about the risks and benefits of surgery and a careful counseling is mandatory before surgery. Treatment is recommended for symptomatic patients and an endoscopic approach is associated with a high rate of recurrence. A laparoscopic approach, when possible, is desirable.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Ureterorenoscopy is the current standard treatment for ureteral and kidney stones, also stones greater than 2 cm can be removed. Complications linked to infectious processes or ureteral damage are the most frequently reported. Subcapsular renal hematoma is an extremely rare complication following this procedure. METHODS: We report the retrospective experience of two urological referral units for stones disease by analyzing incidence, risk factors and management of subcapsular renal hematoma. RESULTS: Between May 2011 and December 2017, 2497 consecutive ureteroscopies for urolithiasis were performed by 8 skilled endourologists. A subcapsular renal hematoma was diagnosed in four cases (0.12%). Symptoms appeared few hours after intervention in two patients and after 14 postoperative days in the remaining two. In all cases CT scan revealed a subcapsular renal hematoma without signs of active bleeding. Conservative treatment was successful. Two patients required blood transfusion. One patient developed renal hypotrophy. CONCLUSIONS: Subcapsular renal hematoma represents a rare but potentially serious complication after ureterorenoscopic lithotripsy. Its real incidence and etiology still need to be clarified. The elevated intrarenal pressures play an important role. Persistent hematuria, flank pain and hemoglobin drop should guide prompt investigation to reach an early diagnosis. In most cases a conservative management is sufficient.

RESUMO

A 44-year-old woman underwent endoscopic incision of a right simple ureterocele with hydronephrosis discovered during gynecological assessment for stress urinary incontinence with Stage I cystocele. At the postoperative visits, she has reported a persistent flap of mucosa coming out from her urethra protruding in the vagina despite manual reduction. An endoscopic resection of the mucosa flap was programmed. After 24 months, she was asymptomatic with no history of renal colic or urinary tract infection. In patients with a history of pelvic organ prolapse, the resection of the ureterocele in the first instance may be the optimal choice.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Male pelvic floor cysts are a rare clinical entity that include: Wolffian duct remnants, Müllerian duct remnants, cysts of the seminal vesicles, prostate and ejaculatory duct/vas deferens cysts.
 CASE REPORT: We report the clinical case of a 21-year-old male patient with a history of previous surgery in childhood and more precisely: partial colectomy for congenital megacolon, removal of dysplastic right kidney and subsequent surgical adhesiolysis for bowel obstruction.
 At 17, the patient was submitted to MRI for groin pain with an incidental finding of a cystic mass at the level of the right seminal vesicle. Consequently, a TUR-ED was performed at another urology unit, for a suspected seminal vesicle ectasia, without resolution of pain symptoms. The patient was referred to us for persistent genitourinary infections, ejaculation disorder and episodes of gross hematuria. An additional MRI confirmed the presence of a cystic mass of 5,5 cm with a suspected opening into prostatic urethra. Urethrocystoscopy and urethrocystography retrograde confirmed this anatomical communication. For the persistence of the symptoms we performed retropubic surgical exeresis of the mass, with a histopathological finding of benign cyst of the vas deferens.
 Two major postoperative complications were reported: a pelvic hematoma that required surgical exploration and a urinary extravasation at the level of prostatic urethra, which resolved with prolonged urethral catheterization.
 CONCLUSIONS: Male pelvic floor cysts are a rare disease with a complex clinical and therapeutic management. A correct diagnosis is based on clinical signs and symptoms together with imaging studies of the pelvic region. The high risk of erectile dysfunction and ejaculatory disorders correlated to a surgical approach, recommend a treatment of these lesions only for symptomatic cases.

RESUMO

Laser technology has been used in the treatment of BPH for more than 15-20 years in order to challenge transurethral resection of the prostate. The aim of this review article is to analyze the evolution of laser in BPH therapy, from early coagulative techniques - progressively abandoned for their elevated postoperative morbidity and unfavorable outcomes - to the newer techniques of vaporization, resection and enucleation of the prostate. A better comprehension of tissue-laser interactions, the improvement of laser technology and a growing clinical experience have lead to the development of different laser systems (Holmium, KTP, Thulium laser) that challenge TURP. Today, HoLEP and, secondarily, PVP are the laser techniques supported by more clinical evidences and represent valid alternatives to TURP.

RESUMO

We present an unusual case of concurrent occurrence of three synchronous primary tumors in the same kidney (oncocytoma, chromophobe renal cell carcinoma, angiomyolipoma) associated to an adenoma of the omolateral adrenal gland in a patient with no evident clinical symptoms. The immunohistochemistry showed a positivity for KIT in oncocytoma and chromophobe cell carcinoma, and a weak positivity in the angiomyolipoma, only in the cells positive for HMB-45. This is the first report of this kind of presentation.
