RESUMO
BACKGROUND RARP is an established procedure in treatment of localized prostate cancer. Hemorrhagic complications in the postoperative period are rare, but sometimes life-threatening. Adequate monitoring and prompt intervention in these unusual scenarios rely on clinical judgement and blood and imaging studies. Prostatic fossa pseudoaneurysm formation after RARP is very rare and its etiology is not well known; it may be related to small vessel trauma. It becomes apparent with the development of hematuria 1-6 weeks after surgery. CASE REPORT A 58-year-old man underwent RARP with extended lymph node dissection for intermediate-risk prostate cancer, with bilateral preservation of neurovascular bundles and puboprostatic ligaments. He was discharged on day 2 without complications. In the following 4 weeks he came to the Emergency Department 3 times with hematuria and acute urinary retention. Four weeks after surgery, a pelvic CT angiogram showed a 20-mm pseudoaneurysm in the prostatic fossa, which was embolized by percutaneous angiography, with resolution of symptoms. He was discharged soon thereafter. CONCLUSIONS This case study describes a patient with prostatic fossa pseudoaneurysm after RARP. It was diagnosed 1 month after surgery and effectively managed by percutaneous embolization. Despite being a very rare condition, it must be kept in mind, especially when postoperative hematuria develops 1-6 weeks after surgery. Use of a management algorithm including serial blood tests, CT angiogram, and percutaneous angiography can lead to early detection and avoid life-threatening hemorrhage and overall postoperative morbidity.

PURPOSE: This study aimed to discuss the correlation between gross hematuria and postoperative upstaging (from T1 to T3a) in patients with cT1 clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and to compare oncologic outcomes of partial nephrectomy (PN) and radical nephrectomy (RN) in patients with gross hematuria. METHODS: A total of 2145 patients who met the criteria were enrolled in the study (including 363 patients with gross hematuria). The least absolute selection and shrinkage operator logistic regression was used to evaluate the risk factor of postoperative pathological upstaging. The propensity score matching (PSM) and stable inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) analysis were used to balance the confounding factors. The Kaplan-Meier analysis and multivariate Cox proportional risk regression model were used to assess the prognosis. RESULTS: Gross hematuria was a risk factor of postoperative pathological upstaging (odds ratio [OR] = 3.96; 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.44-6.42; P < 0.001). After PSM and stable IPTW adjustment, the characteristics were similar in corresponding patients in the PN and RN groups. In the PSM cohort, PN did not have a statistically significant impact on recurrence-free survival (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.48; 95% CI 0.25-8.88; P = 0.67), metastasis-free survival (HR = 1.24; 95% CI 0.33-4.66; P = 0.75), and overall survival (HR = 1.46; 95% CI 0.31-6.73; P = 0.63) compared with RN. The results were confirmed in sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSIONS: Although gross hematuria was associated with postoperative pathological upstaging in patients with cT1 ccRCC, PN should still be the preferred treatment for such patients.

INTRODUCTION: Radiation-induced haemorrhagic cystitis (RIHC) is one complication of the pelvic radiotherapy. The GREENLIGHT© laser (GL) has been barely studied in the treatment of radiation cystitis. The primary objective was to evaluate the efficacy of GL in refractory RIHC patients (RRC) in a single-centre series. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-nine patients were treated by GL bladder photocoagulation (GLBP). These patients showed signs of refractory haematuria in the context of RIHC. The primary endpoint was the absence of haematuria that would require a subsequent surgical intervention. Secondary endpoints were postoperative hospitalization length of stay, the occurrence of complications according to the Clavien-Dindo classification, the occurrence of functional urinary disorders and the number of cystectomies. RESULTS: After a median follow-up of 30 months, 24 (82.7%) patients had no recurrence of haematuria. No postoperative complications were reported. A disabling overactive bladder secondary to the procedure occurred in 9 patients (31.0%). Two patients needed a cystectomy at 1 and 11 months. CONCLUSION: GLBP may constitute an efficient line of treatment for RIHC. Despite overactive bladder it allowed to avoid or delay cystectomy.

BACKGROUND: Describe the outcomes and safety of robotic-assisted kidney auto-transplantation (RAKAT) in the treatment of nutcracker syndrome (NCS) and loin pain haematuria syndrome (LPHS). METHODS: This retrospective study included 32 cases of NCS and LPHS seen during December 2016 to June 2021. RESULTS: Three (9%) patients had LPHS and 29 (91%) NCS. All were non-Hispanic whites, and 31 (97%) women. The mean age was 32 years (SD = 10) and the BMI 22.8 (SD = 5). The RAKAT was completed in all patients, 63% had a total improvement of pain. According to the Clavien-Dindo classification, 47% presented with type 1, and 9% with type 3 complications with a mean follow-up of 10.9 months. The incidence of acute kidney injury in post-procedure was 28%. No one required blood transfusions, and there were no deaths during the follow-up. CONCLUSION: RAKAT was a feasible procedure with a similar complication rate to those reported for other surgical techniques.

RATIONALE: Renal nutcracker syndrome is a rare phenomenon that often causes various disability symptoms. The treatment protocol has been explored for a long time, but no consensus has been reached. PATIENT CONCERNS: Here, we report the case of a 19-year-old male suffering with nutcracker syndrome, including left-sided flank pain and intermittent gross hematuria. DIAGNOSES: The patient was diagnosed with renal nutcracker syndrome, and the pressure gradient between the left renal vein and inferior vena cava was >5 mm Hg. INTERVENTIONS: The patient underwentrobotic-assisted combined transposition of left renal vein and gonadal vein. OUTCOMES: Flank pain and gross hematuria ceased spontaneously after surgery without occurrence. LESSONS: Robotic-assisted combined transposition of the left renal vein and gonadal vein is a safe and promising option for this condition.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To understand the indications and outcomes of renal autotransplantation, and when to consider this unique procedure for patients. RECENT FINDINGS: Renal autotransplantation confers acceptably low rates of graft failure and prevents need for long-term dialysis. Renal autotransplantation remains an important management strategy in very select patients for complex renovascular disease, ureteral stricture disease, ureteral trauma, upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma, renal cell carcinoma, and Loin-Pain Hematuria Syndrome. With advancements in minimally invasive procedures, the application of renal autotransplantation for refractory stone disease is rare but exists. Robot-assisted laparoscopic renal autotransplantation demonstrates reproducible graft success and complication rates with improved perioperative outcomes (ex. hospital length of stay) - though comparative studies are lacking. Patients would benefit from a multidisciplinary approach from renal transplant surgeons, vascular surgeons, urologists, nephrologists, dieticians, pain management providers, social workers, and psychiatrists. SUMMARY: In experienced hands, renal autotransplantation is a reasonable treatment approach for complex and refractory renal vascular disease, Loin-Pain Hematuria Syndrome, ureteral strictures and trauma, upper urinary tract malignancy, and stone disease in highly select patients.

INTRODUCTION: Refractory hematuria secondary to prostatic disease typically resolves with conservative management; however, this condition may require hospitalization with extensive measures to control life-threatening bleeding. The aim of this study was to report our experience using holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) as an emergency treatment in this clinical setting. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective review of all patients that presented to the emergency department with refractory hematuria of prostatic origin from October 2017 to September 2021, for whom hospitalization and conservative management failed to control bleeding. All emergency HoLEP procedures were performed by a single surgeon. Preoperative and intraoperative parameters, as well as perioperative outcomes, were collected and analyzed. Postoperative outcomes included duration of foley catheterization, length of postoperative hospital stay, and hospital readmissions. RESULTS: A total of 40 emergency HoLEP procedures were performed. Our cohort had a median prostate volume of 110.5 cc and a median resected weight of 81 g. Twenty-seven patients (67.5%) were on anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications on admission. The urethral catheter was removed within 1 day in 95% of patients with a successful trial of void (TOV). Moreover, 92.5% of patients were discharged home within 24 h of their procedure. Two patients (5%) experienced clot retention within one-week post-discharge with a 2.5% overall readmission rate. All postoperative parameters, including International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), quality of life (QoL), maximum flow rate (Qmax), and post-void residual volume (PVR), showed significant improvement at 1 year follow up. CONCLUSION: Our experience demonstrates that emergency HoLEP is an effective treatment option for patients with refractory hematuria of prostatic origin. Further studies are warranted to consolidate our results.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to assess the current strategies of endovascular and laparoscopic extravascular stenting for symptomatic compression of the left renal vein (LRV), most frequently between the aorta and superior mesenteric artery (nutcracker syndrome [NCS]). METHODS: We performed a systematic review of all studies of endovascular and laparoscopic extravascular LRV stenting for NCS using the PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Embase, Cochrane, Science Citation Index Expanded, Emerging Sources Citation Index, and Epistemonikos databases. Data were collected in accordance with the PRISMA (preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis) guidelines. The English, Spanish, and German language literature was searched from January 1, 1946 to February 9, 2022. The outcomes assessed included symptom resolution, hematuria resolution, and reintervention at follow-up. RESULTS: The search yielded 3498 reports. After removing the duplicates and those without the full text available, 1724 studies were screened. Of these, 11 studies were included in the present review. Of the 11 studies, 7 were on endovascular stenting and 4 on laparoscopic extravascular stenting; all 11 studies were retrospective, single-center case series. Of the 233 patients, 170 (80 women) had undergone endovascular stenting and 63 (9 women) had undergone extravascular stenting. The follow-up period varied from 1 to 60 months after endovascular stenting and 3 to 55 months after extravascular stenting. The symptoms had resolved in 76% (range, 50%-100%) after endovascular stenting and 83% (range, 71%-100%) after extravascular stenting. Hematuria had resolved in 86% (range, 60%-100%) after endovascular stenting and 89% (range, 77%-100%) after extravascular stenting. Of 185 patients, 9 had required reintervention after endovascular stenting and none after extravascular stenting. CONCLUSIONS: Endovascular and laparoscopic extravascular stenting are less invasive and, thus, more attractive treatment options that have been more recently developed for the management of NCS. The results from the present study have shown that symptom and hematuria resolution must be provided before they can be considered preferred management options for patients affected by NCS. Given the limited number of patients involved, no definitive conclusion could be drawn regarding the superiority of one technique compared with the other.

PURPOSE: Endoscopic access and treatment of bleeding upper urinary tract urothelial carcinomas (UTUCS) is sometimes difficult and inefficient as resection and/or laser coagulation are often incomplete. We report two cases of successful cryoablation of bleeding UTUCs. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study evaluated an adjunctive method in using cryoablation as a hemostatic technique. Cryoprobes were inserted inside the affected calices and a standard renal cryoablation protocol was used. Track ablation was performed during the pullback of the cryoprobes to prevent tumor seeding and bleeding. RESULTS: Cryoablation of the bleeding upper urinary tract tumors allowed to efficiently resolve macrohematuria in both patients and to provide prolonged remission in one patient. CONCLUSIONS: Taking advantage of the microcirculatory stasis and the hemostatic properties of cryoablation, we achieved palliative cessation of refractory macrohematuria while sparing nephrons, without the need for renal embolization in patients with bleeding UTUCs.

Purpose: Our study aims to investigate the long-term survival and prognostic factors of patients after laparoscopic radical nephrectomy. Methods: Totally, 245 patients with renal cell carcinoma in our hospital from January 2015 to February 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. The 5-year survival status of patients with renal cell carcinoma was under analysis and further based on univariate analysis, and its influencing factors were analyzed by Cox regression. Results: The average 5-year follow-up time of 245 patients with renal cell carcinoma was (4.88 ± 0.52) years. The mortality of 1 year, 3 years and 5 years were 2.45% (5/245), 6.35% (16/245) and 9.80% (24/245), respectively. The survival rates were 97.55% (239/245), 93.06% (228/245) and 90.61% (222/245). Univariate analysis showed that age, tumor diameter, hematuria, TNM stage and postoperative recurrence may be the influencing factors of 5-year survival of patients with renal cell carcinoma (P < .05). However, the following parameters, including gender, course of disease, and other clinical complications were not related to the 5-year survival of patients with renal cell carcinoma (P > .05). the influencing factors of 5-year survival status of patients with renal cell carcinoma were age, tumor diameter, hematuria, TNM stage, and postoperative recurrence. Conclusion: The study revealed the long-term survival of patients with renal cell carcinoma may be associated with age, tumor diameter, hematuria, TNM stage and postoperative recurrence.

Background and objectives: Trials to evaluate the effect and safety of rapid and gradual urinary decompression have been published for decades. Due to inconclusive results, this study aimed to assess whether rapid bladder decompression increased complications in adults with acute urinary retention. Materials and Methods: We searched the Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Google Scholar, and PubMed databases for articles published from the database inception to 31 August 2021. Studies that compared the effects and complication rates of rapid and gradual urinary decompression in adults with acute urinary retention were included. The primary outcome was post-decompression hematuria, while the secondary outcome was circulatory collapse. Meta-analyses were conducted using random effects models. Sensitivity analyses, tests for publication bias, and trial sequential analyses were conducted. The PROSPERO registration number is CRD42021233457. Results: Overall, four articles were included in the comprehensive analysis, and 435 participants met all the eligibility criteria. In the primary meta-analysis of all four study groups, rapid urinary decompression did not increase the risk of post-decompression hematuria (RR = 0.91; 95% CI: 0.62 to 1.35; p = 0.642). The I2 statistic was 0.0% (p = 0.732), indicating no substantial heterogeneity. In the meta-analysis of randomized controlled studies, the result did not change (RR = 0.89; 95% CI: 0.31 to 2.52; p = 0.824). The Egger's test and Begg test (p = 0.339 and 0.497, respectively) indicated the absence of statistical evidence of publication bias. Leave-one-out sensitivity analysis was conducted and showed the pooled results were robust. In secondary outcome, there were no reported events of circulatory collapse in the current studies. Conclusions: The currently available data suggest that rapid urinary decompression is an effective and safe method with a complication rate similar to that of gradual decompression in an acute urinary retention population. Further large-scale randomized studies are required.

A man in his 70s presented to the emergency department with acute urinary retention following a 2-day history of gross haematuria with blood clots. He had a significant medical history of intermediate-risk prostate adenocarcinoma (grade group 2, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) 14.9 ng/mL) for which he underwent a robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP) 13 years ago. PSA nadir was achieved (<0.03 ng/mL). Three years after RARP, he had biochemical recurrence with PSA rising to 0.06 ng/mL. Salvage radiotherapy was performed with good PSA response back to nadir. Workup for gross haematuria included a flexible cystoscopy which revealed a lobulated fleshy lesion occupying the mid-penile urethra. Staging imaging showed no local recurrence at prostatectomy site or lymphadenopathy. PSA was 4.2 ng/mL. Surgical resection with primary repair of the urethra was performed. Postoperative recovery was good with PSA achieving nadir. Histology revealed an upgraded metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma, grade group 5.

OBJECTIVE: To better understand renal nutcracker syndrome (NCS) from a patients' perspective starting at presentation and followed through to diagnosis and management METHODS: This descriptive study was conducted on a national level via a self-selected online survey distributed via river sampling by a post on the Facebook Page 'Renal Nutcracker Syndrome Support Group.' RESULTS: Of the 22 responses collected, 95.5% were female and 91% self-identified as White. 43% experienced symptoms as teenagers and 62% were diagnosed as young adults. Prior to receiving a definitive diagnosis, over half of the respondents were worked up for kidney stones (57%) and ovarian cysts (48%) and saw at least 10-15 providers. Nearly 80% experienced constant pain throughout the day. Pain management included prescription oral pain relievers (38%), prescription patches (29%), and physical therapy (19%). Surgical procedures included nephrectomy with auto transplant (38%), left renal vein transposition (10%), and laparoscopic extravascular stent placement (10%). Respondents had high healthcare utilization for management of NCS. Nearly 30% were unable to work and had filed for disability. CONCLUSION: Awareness of NCS should increase among healthcare providers of all specialties to improve quality of care to those living with NCS. It is crucial to keep NCS within the differential diagnosis in patients presenting with gross hematuria and unusual abdominal and/or flank pain.

BACKGROUND: Angiography with selective angioembolization (SAE) is safe and effective in addressing bleeding in patients with renal trauma. However, there are no validated criteria to predict SAE efficacy. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate factors predictive of SAE failure after moderate- to high-grade renal trauma. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: TRAUMAFUF was a retrospective multi-institutional study including all patients who underwent upfront SAE for renal trauma in 17 French hospitals between 2005 and 2015. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: The primary outcome was SAE efficacy, defined as the absence of repeat SAE, salvage nephrectomy, and/or death for each patient. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS: Out of 1770 consecutive patients with renal trauma, 170 (9.6%) with moderate- to high-grade renal trauma underwent SAE. Overall upfront SAE was successful in 131 patients (77%) and failed in 39 patients: six patients died after the embolization, ten underwent repeat SAE, 22 underwent open nephrectomy, and one underwent open surgical exploration. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, gross hematuria (odds ratio [OR] 3.16, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.29-8.49; p=0.015), hemodynamic instability (OR 3.29, 95% CI 1.37-8.22; p=0.009), grade V trauma (OR 2.86, 95% CI 1.06-7.72; p=0.036), and urinary extravasation (OR 3.49, 95% CI 1.42-8.83; p=0.007) were predictors of SAE failure. The success rate was 64.7% (22/34) for patients with grade V trauma and 59.6% (31/52) for those with hemodynamic instability. The study was limited by its retrospective design and the lack of a control group managed with either surgery or surveillance. CONCLUSIONS: We found that gross hematuria, hemodynamic instability, grade V trauma, and urinary extravasation were significant predictors of SAE failure. However, success rates in these subgroups remained relatively high, suggesting that SAE might be appropriate for those patients as well. PATIENT SUMMARY: Selective angioembolization (SAE) is a useful alternative to nephrectomy to address bleeding in patients with renal trauma. Currently, there are no validated criteria to predict SAE efficacy. We found that gross hematuria, hemodynamic instability, grade V trauma, and urinary extravasation were significant predictors of SAE failure.

Reservoir induced bladder rupture is a rare complication of inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) revision surgery. Our aim is to review the literature and describe our experience with this complication using two case reports that involved reusing an in-situ reservoir. In each case, an episode of gross hematuria indicated that a bladder rupture had occurred. From our experience, we propose ways to possibly avoid and if necessary, manage this rare complication.

INTRODUCTION: Hematuria can be a distressing and debilitating complication of urothelial carcinoma (UC) of the kidney for patients who are not candidates for surgery or ureteroscopic ablation. We retrospectively assessed the efficacy, tolerability, and safety of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for controlling gross hematuria in this patient population. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Institutional Review Board (IRB)-approved review of the records, laboratory values, pathology, and imaging of 8 consecutive patients treated with SBRT over a 5-year period for uncontrolled gross hematuria caused by UC of the renal pelvis or calyces. RESULTS: Therapy was delivered in 3 to 5 treatments over 1 to weeks. Individual treatments lasted an average of 17.2 minutes. No patient experienced treatment-related pain, vomiting, or diarrhea. All enjoyed cessation of bleeding within a week of completing therapy. Hematuria recurred in 2 patients in 4 and 22 months. Of the patients who have not re-bled, 3 expired of metastatic disease or co-morbidities, and 3 remain alive up to 6 years posttreatment. Of patients who have survived longer than a year, creatinine has changed by -0.05 to +0.35, and estimated glomerular filtration rate has fallen by an average of 22%. No patient has required dialysis. CONCLUSIONS: SBRT appears to be an effective and well-tolerated means of palliating gross hematuria secondary to UC of the renal pelvis or calyces in patients who are unfavorable candidates for nephrectomy or ureteroscopic ablation. Treatment was associated with a moderate decline in renal function.

INTRODUCTION The advent of ureteroscopy has revolutionized the treatment many urologic diseases, including benign essential hematuria. This systematic review examines the treatment of benign essential hematuria (BEH) with ureteroscopic interventions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed a systematic review of the literature from 1977 to May 2020. We included studies that evaluated the use of ureteroscopy to diagnose or treat BEH. Demographics, follow up, findings, treatment method and success rate were extracted from each identified paper. Quality analysis was performed independently by both authors. RESULTS: Our search resulted in 587 articles. Fifteen of these studies met inclusion criteria and were included in the final analysis. No randomized controlled trials were found. All 15 studies were case series. Nine studies were graded as good, five as fair, and one as poor. Follow up ranged from 2 to 108 months. A total of 307 patients underwent ureteroscopy for suspected BEH; 223 (73%) were diagnosed with a discrete lesion, 33 (11%) with a diffuse lesion, and 44 (14%) had no lesions seen on ureteroscopy. Of those diagnosed with discrete lesions, the most common was minute venous ruptures (35%), followed by hemangiomas (26%). Ureteroscopic treatment successfully relieved the hematuria and symptoms in most patients, and was more successful in those treated for discrete lesion (115/120, 96%) than diffuse (10/19, 53%). CONCLUSIONS: Ureteroscopic treatment of BEH yields excellent outcomes. In this systematic review, 96% of patients with discrete lesions and 53% of patients with diffuse lesions had resolution of their hematuria after ureteroscopic interventions.

Background: To evaluate the indication and benefit of minimally invasive laparoscopic marsupialization (MIS) of symptomatic giant renal cysts. Materials and Methods: Sixty-four consecutive patients who underwent MIS for large renal cysts (Bosniak I; 4 × 5-16 × 12 cm) by one surgeon were included in the study. Presenting symptoms were renal pain (100%), associated with hypertension (28%), renal dysfunction (4.7%), hematuria (4.7%), ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) (7.8%), ipsilateral urolithiasis (4.7%), polycystic kidney (6.3%), adrenal cyst (1.6%), and retroperitoneal cysts (1.6%). Seven patients with peripelvic cysts and previous retroperitoneal operations were treated by a laparoscopic approach; all other patients underwent retroperitoneoscopic marsupialization. Single-port retroperitoneoscopy was performed in 4 patients. Follow-up included clinical examination, abdominal ultrasound, and computed tomography scan. Postoperative radiologic success was defined as a minimum of 50% in size reduction and no recurrence. Results: Mean patients' age was 46 (21-65) years. All procedures were successfully completed without conversion or revision. Mean operative time was 55 (40-85) minutes with a mean hospital stay of 3 days. All patients underwent uneventful postoperative recovery. Observed minor complications (transitory fever/pain) were found in 4 patients during the first postoperative month. Median follow-up was 12 months (10 months-2 years). About 98.5% of patients reported of no relevant postoperative pain. A relief from UPJO and hematuria was achieved in 100% of patients. Ten patients with known hypertensive disease (55.6%) had a significant reduction of mean blood pressure resulting in a reduction of antihypertensive medication. Ureterorenoscopic stone extractions were performed successfully afterward. No cyst recurrences were detected during the follow-up period. Conclusion: Treatment indications for symptomatic renal cysts could include not only symptoms but also associated diseases like UPJO and hypertension. Retroperitoneoscopic MIS may be curative for these cyst-associated pathologies. The feasibility, safety and efficacy of these techniques could be demonstrated.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the advantages and disadvantages of point electro-cauterization (PEC) and holmium laser cauterization (HLC) in the treatment of post-ejaculation hematuria. METHODS: From January 2015 to December 2018, 73 patients with post-ejaculation hematuria, aged 24ï¼63 (36.8 ± 4.2) years, underwent PEC (n = 35) or HLC (n = 38) after failure to respond to 3 months of conservative treatment. We compared the hospital days, total hospitalization expenses, maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax), average urinary flow rate (Qavg), Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA) score, postoperative duration of hematuria, and recurrence rate at 3 and 6 months after surgery. RESULTS: All the patients experienced first ejaculation but no post-ejaculation hematuria at 1 month after operation. The recurrence rates were lower in the PEC than in the HLC group at 3 months (5.71% vs 2.63%, P > 0.05) and 6 months postoperatively (8.57% vs 5.26%, P > 0.05). Compared with the baseline, the Qmax was decreased from (18.56 ± 2.53) ml/s to (13.68 ± 3.31) ml/s (P < 0.05) and the Qavg from (14.35 ± 2.26) ml/s to (9.69±1.84) ml/s in the PEC group at 1 month after surgery (P < 0.01), but neither showed any statistically significant difference in the HLC group. Mild to moderate anxiety was prevalent in the patients preoperatively, particularly in those without job or regular income and those with a long disease course or frequent onset, the severity of which was not correlated with age, education or marital status. The HAMA score was decreased from18.65 ± 4.33 before to 12.35 ± 3.63 after surgery in the PEC group (P < 0.01), and from 16.88 ± 2.11 to 6.87 ± 4.36 in the HLC group (P < 0.01). The mean hospital stay was significantly longer in the former than in the latter group (ï¼»5.2 + 1.3ï¼½ vs ï¼»3.4 ± 0.5ï¼½ d, P < 0.01), while the total cost markedly lower (ï¼»6.35 ± 1.20ï¼½ vs ï¼»12.72 ± 2.15ï¼½ thousand RMB ¥, P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Both PEC and HLC are safe and effective for the treatment of post-ejaculation hematuria, with no significant difference in the recurrence rate at 3 and 6 months after operation, but their long-term effect needs further follow-up studies. PEC may increase the risk of negative outcomes of the postoperative urinary flow rate, while HLC has the advantages of better relieving the patient's anxiety, sooner discharge from hospital and earlier recovery from postoperative hematuria, though with a higher total cost than the former.

A 52-year-old man presented with lower urinary tract symptoms and intermittent haematuria for the last 6 months. He had undergone totally extraperitoneal right inguinal hernia repair a decade ago. The ultrasonography and an X-ray of the pelvis suggested a large radio-opaque shadow in the bladder. However, CT revealed an encrusted intravesical extension of the migrated mesh along the right anterolateral wall. The entire intravesical part of the migrated mesh with encrustations was successfully retrieved by endourological approach using holmium laser. The patient symptomatically improved and at follow-up, cystoscopy showed a complete re-epithelisation of the bladder mucosa. The intravesical extension of migrated mesh is a rare but challenging complication following mesh hernioplasty and can be successfully managed with a complete endoscopic approach.
