Transperitoneal laparoscopic pyeloplasty in children: does upper urinary tract anomalies affect surgical outcomes?

ABSTRACT Objective To assess the feasibility and outcomes of laparoscopic pyeloplasty in children with complex ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) and compare to children with iso-lated UPJO without associated urinary tract abnormalities. Material and Methods Medical records of 82 consecutive children submitted to transperi-toneal laparoscopic pyeloplasty in a 12-year period were reviewed. Eleven cases were con-sidered complex, consisting of atypical anatomy including horseshoe kidneys in 6 patients, pelvic kidneys in 3 patients, and a duplex collecting system in 2 patients. Patients were di-vided into 2 groups: normal anatomy (group 1) and complex cases (group 2). Demographics, perioperative data, outcomes and complications were recorded and analyzed. Results Mean age was 8.9 years (0.5-17.9) for group 1 and 5.9 years (0.5-17.2) for group 2, p=0.08. The median operative time was 200 minutes (180-230) for group 1 and 203 minutes (120-300) for group 2, p=0.15. Major complications (Clavien ≥3) were 4 (5.6%) in group 1 and 1 (6.3%) in group 2, p=0.52. No deaths or early postoperative complications such as: urinoma or urinary leakage or bleeding, occurred. The success rate for radiologic improvement and flank pain improvement was comparable between the two groups. Re-garding hydronephrosis, significant improvement was present in 62 patients (93.4%) of group 1 and 10 cases (90.9%) of group 2, p=0.99. The median hospital stay was 4 days (IQR 3-4) for group 1 and 4.8 days (IQR 3-6) for group 2, p=0.27. Conclusions Transperitoneal laparoscopic pyeloplasty is feasible and effective for the management of UPJO associated with renal or urinary tract anomalies.

New head-mounted display system applied to endoscopic management of upper urinary tract carcinomas

Purpose We tested a new head-mounted display (HMD) system for surgery on the upper urinary tract. Surgical Technique Four women and one man with abnormal findings in the renal pelvis on computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging underwent surgery using this new system. A high definition HMD (Sony, Tokyo, Japan) is connected to a flexible ureteroscope (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan) and the images from the ureteroscope are delivered simultaneously to various participants wearing HMDs. Furthermore, various information in addition to that available through the endoscope, such as the narrow band image, the fluoroscope, input from a video camera mounted on the lead surgeon’s HMD and the vital monitors can be viewed on each HMD. Results Median operative duration and anesthesia time were 53 and 111 minutes, respectively. The ureteroscopic procedures were successfully performed in all cases. There were no notable negative outcomes or incidents (Clavien-Dindo grade ≥1). Conclusion The HMD system offers simultaneous, high-quality magnified imagery in front of the eyes, regardless of head position, to those participating in the endoscopic procedures. This affordable display system also provides various forms of information related to examinations and operations while allowing direct vision and navigated vision. .

Validación de la escala de riesgo quirúrgica en pacientes operados por los servicios de cirugía general, urología y trasplante hepático / Validation of the surgical risk scale in patients who underwent surgery at the departaments of general surgery, urology and liver transplantation

Objetivo: Aplicar la escala de Riesgo quirúrgico (ERQ) a procedimientos de cirugía general y urología y comparar su capacidad predictiva de complicaciones en relación a otras escalas utilizadas en el hospital. Material y métodos: Estudio prospectivo de 1191 procedimientos quirúrgicos primarios con anestesia general realizados por el Servicio de Trasplante Hepático, cirugía general y urología del Hospital Garrahan durante el periodo comprendido entre 1 de Julio al 30 de Noviembre del 2011. Los resultados quirúrgicos fueron evaluados en relación al nivel de riesgo quirúrgico medido por el ERQ, la escala de riesgo anestésico (ASA) y la escala Fraire –Prieto-Boglione. Resultados: Del total de procedimientos 898 (75%) fueron realizados por cirugía general, 225 (19%) urología y 68 (6%) trasplante hepático. La tasa global de complicaciones posquirúrgicas tempranas reportadas fue de un 9% (n: 108), siendo graves solo el 3% (37) con una mortalidad quirúrgica del 0, 4% (5). La ERQ presentó capacidad de discriminación para el desarrollo de complicaciones posquirúrgicas graves con un área bajo la curva de 0, 83 (IC 0, 76-0, 90). La asociación de desarrollo de complicaciones quirúrgicas graves (STROC = 3) se incrementa en procedimientos de complejidad superior a ERQ > 5 con RR de 4, 3 (IC 2, 1- 8, 7), ERQ>6 con RR9, 3 (IC 4, 4-19, 5) y ERQ> 7 con RR 37(IC 26, 3-52, 1). Conclusión: ERQ es un instrumento útil y perfectible para objetivar la complejidad quirúrgica en relación al riesgo y que utilizada con la escala de Clavien para medir las complicaciones posquirúrgicas constituyen un punto de partida para iniciar procesos de mejora continua en cirugía pediátrica. El desarrollo de modelos matemáticos de predicción del riesgo posquirúrgico requiere de estudios multicéntricos que incluya variables del paciente, acto quirúrgico, equipo y centro dado el escaso número de complicaciones y mortalidad que tiene la cirugía pediátrica.

Laparoscopic ureteropyeloanastomosis in the treatment of duplex system

PURPOSE: Duplex system is one of the most common anomalies of upper urinary tract. Anatomical and clinical presentation determine its treatment. Usually, the upper moiety has a poor function and requires resection, but when it is not significantly impaired, preservation is recommended. Laparoscopic reconstruction with upper pole preservation is presented as an alternative treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Four female patients with duplex system, one presenting with recurrent urinary tract infection and the others with urinary incontinence associated to infrasphincteric ectopic ureter, were treated. Surgical procedure envolved a laparoscopic ureteropyeloanastomosis of the upper pole ureter to the pelvis of the lower moiety, with prior insertion of a double J stent. RESULTS: Surgical time varied from 120 to 150 minutes, with minimal blood loss in all cases. Follow-up varied from 15 to 30 months, with resolution of the clinical symptoms and preservation of the upper moiety function. CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic ureteropyeloanatomosis is a feasible and safe minimally invasive option in the treatment of duplex system.

Prolapso uretral em cães: relato de casos / Urethral prolapse in the male dog: cases report / Prolapso uretral en perros: relato de casos

Anomalias da uretra canina são de baixa incidência, e podem ter causas congênitas ou adquiridas. O prolapso uretral em cães é uma afecção de fisiopatologia ainda não completamente elucidada. Acomete animais machos e jovens, sendo frequentemente observada em raças braquicefálicas, e seu diagnóstico é fundamentado pela visualização da mucosa uretral protrusa. Apesar da possibilidade de redução do prolapso através de manobras cirúrgicas menos traumáticas, o tratamento mais efetivo para esta afecção é a técnica de ressecção e anastomose do prolapso uretral. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo relatar a ocorrência de dois casos clínicos de prolapso uretral em cães assistidos no Setor de Cirurgia de Pequenos Animais do Hospital da Universidade Federal da Bahia, e avaliar a técnica utilizada como procedimento para a resolução do prolapso. Os resultados revelaram que a referida técnica é de fácil execução e eficácia comprovada, não sendo observadas recidivas em nenhum dos dois casos estudados.

Abnormalities of the canine urethra have low incidence, and may have congenital or acquired causes. Urethral prolapse in the male dog can be described as an unknown physiopathological affection. It has been observed in males and young animals, frequently in braquicefalic breeds, and its diagnosis is based on the visualization of the prolapsed urethral mucosa. Despite the possibility of reduction by the use of less traumatic surgical techniques, the most effective treatment for this affection is the technique of resection and anastomosis of the urethral prolapse. The aim of this paper was to report the occurrence of two urethral prolapse clinical cases in dogs, from Small Animal Surgery Sector of the Veterinary Hospital (Institution), and to analyze the technique applied as a procedure to resolute the prolapse. The results revealed that the referred technique has easy execution and prove efficacy, without recurrence in both studied cases.

Change in urinary symptoms and quality of life in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia after transurethral resection of prostate.

The aim of this study was to determine the improvement in symptoms and quality of life in men with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) after transurethral resection of prostate (TURP). Fifty consecutive patients fit for undergoing TURP for BPH were included in this study. All patients were assessed prior to definitive surgical treatment using standardized questionnaires of international prostate symptom score (IPSS) which includes single disease-specific quality of life (QOL) score. Follow up of these patients was done at three months with same questionnaires. Data was analyzed using the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) for Windows. The mean age and duration of symptom was 68.3 years and 26.7 months respectively. The average volume of prostate was 46.1 cm3. Preoperative IPSS and QOL score were 23.4 and 5.2 respectively; 56.6% of the score was contributed by obstructive symptoms. At three months follow up, the mean IPSS reduced down to 7.9 and QOL score improved to 1.5. The average change in IPSS and QOL score were 15.6 and 3.6; these changes were statistically significant and correlated with preoperative symptom severity. Most of the patients presented with severe symptom associated with decreased QOL. After TURP, there was significant improvement in IPSS and QOL scores. The improvement was graded as good out come and strongly related to preoperative symptom severity.

Descripción de una técnica mínimamente invasiva, sencilla y de bajo costo para la resolución de estenosis de la vía urinaria superior: experiencia inicial / Minimally invasive and low cost approach for the treatment of upper urinary tract stenosis: surgical techniques and initial experience

El avance de las técnicas mínimamente invasivas y la aparición de nuevos dispositivos han llegado a resolver muchas de las patologías urológicas actuales, sin embargo, estas técnicas no siempre son simples de realizar y suelen asociarse a un aumento en los costos de insumos y equipos, limitando su uso. En el presente trabajo describimos nuestra experiencia inicial en el manejo de estenosis de la vía urinaria superior utilizando una técnica endoscópica con papilótomo y precut (instrumental gastroenterológico para ERCP) bajo visión fluoroscópica. Se presentan tres casos clínicos, dos de ellos con estenosis del cuello del cáliz superior (CCS) izquierdo y uno con una estenosis pieloureteral derecha recidivada luego de una pieloplastía laparoscópica. En los tres pacientes se logró abrir las zonas estenóticas obteniendoimágenes fluoroscópicas satisfactorias. No hubo complicaciones durante la cirugía ni en el postoperatorio.El alta se dio entre las 24 y 72 hrs posprocedimiento. La técnica empleada permite corregir estenosis de la vía urinaria superior, con equipos e insumos que se encuentran disponibles en la mayoría de los centros públicos y privados del país, de manera sencilla, económica, segura y mínimamente invasiva. Si bien los resultados iniciales obtenidos son muy alentadores, se debe tener presente que las estenosis de la vía urinaria tienden a recidivar, por lo que el éxito a largo plazo y el porcentaje de reestenosis es aún desconocido.

Minimally invasive techniques (MIT) are both difficult to perform and costly in terms of equipment and supplies. The latter has limited the expansion of MIT. Herein, we describe a technique for management of upper tract urinary estenosis with the deploy of endoscopic retrograde colangiopancreatoscopy equipment (ERCP) and radiologic assistance. Three cases were treated with the technique. Two cases with superior calyx estenosis and 1 case with recidivated ureteropelvic stenosis. All three patients were solved with the proposed technique with adequate radiographic results verified at the end of the procedure. There were no perioperative complications and patients were discharged between 24 and 72 hours after the procedure. The technique offers a safe, reliable and low cost approach for the urinary tract stenosis. Follow-up is mandatory.

The Management of Upper Urinary Tract Obstruction in Resource-Poor Settings

Objective: The management of upper urinary tract obstruction in the absence of modern facilities presents a major challenge to Urologic practice in developing countries. The aim of this study was to describe the etiology; presentation and treatment of upper urinary tract obstruction at the Jos University Teaching Hospital; Nigeria. Patients and Methods : This is a prospective analysis of 37 consecutive patients (18 males; 19 females) with a mean age of 35.5 years (range 3-55) who were managed for upper urinary tract obstruction at our department between January 2001 and December 2005. Two of them presented with a second pathology; so that we treated 39 pathologies in total. Flank pain was the most common clinical feature; being present in 35 patients (94.6). Other clinical features were gross hematuria in 12 (32.4); an enlarged kidney in 5 (13.5); renal impairment in 4 (10.8) and hypertension in 3 (8.1) patients. Diagnostic work-up consisted of plain radiography; abdominal ultrasound scan; intravenous urography and retrograde pyelography. Renal pelvic stones were the leading cause of obstruction (13 patients; 35.1); while congenital pelvi-ureteric junction (PUJ) obstruction was found in 7 (18.9) and ureteric stricture and vesical schistosomiasis in 4 (10.8) and 3 (8.1) patients; respectively. Two patients had bilateral obstruction from two different causes.Results: Twenty-nine open surgical procedures were carried out. They consisted of pyelolithotomy (n=12); pyeloplasty (n=6); ureteroureterostomy (n=4); ureteroneocystostomy (n=3); nephrectomy (n=2) and ureterolithotomy (n=2). Eight patients were treated non-surgically. Two patients are awaiting definitive surgical treatment. A total of 4 (13.8) complications following 29 operative procedures were encountered: two cases of migration of double-J ureteric stents ; one case of prolonged urine leakage and another case of wound infection. Conclusion : Upper urinary tract obstruction is not uncommon in our environment. In the absence of modern facilities; open surgery remains our main option of treatment; and it is relatively safe

A Disfunção do trato urinário inferior após histerectomia radical por câncer do colo do útero / The Dysfunction of the lower urinary tract after radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer

A histerectomia radical para tratamento do câncer de colo do útero pode determinar morbidade significativa do trato urinário. Contudo, o aumento da sobrevida e a menor mortalidade, além da diminuição significativa das fístulas ureterais, tornaram mais evidentes as complicações tardias pós-histerectomias radicais, principalmente as disfunções uretro-vesicais. Essas alterações são geralmente conseqüencia da interrupção intra-operatória das vias nervosas para a bexiga e uretra, com destaque para os ramos dos plexos pélvico e hipogástrico. Por outro lado, o desenvolvimento da urodinâmica permitiu maior compreensão dessas mudanças funcionais do trato urinário inferior, que podem assumir espectro variado. Dessa maneira, observam-se alterações no armazenamento urinário, como perda da sensibilidade, aumento ou diminuição da capacidade cistométrica máxima e complacência, instabilidade do detrusor e incontinência urinária de esforço. Além disso, as alterações no esvaziamento vesical tendem a ser mais pronunciadas, com fluxos e pressões de micção diminuídas, o que determina elevados resíduos pós-miccionais e maior risco de infecção urinária. O seguimento das pacientes submetidas à histerectomia radical deve ser realizado por meio de método objetivo, como o estudo urodinâmico, para tentar identificar precocemente os efeitos deletérios da cirurgia sobre o trato urinário inferior, objetivando aplicação de terapia apropriada

Lower urinary tract reconstruction following radical cystectomy using ileal neobladder with studor technique; 3 years experience

Between April 1997 and March 2000, 29 men underwent lower urinary tract reconstruction by means of the ileal neobladder of Studor with a modification. All operations were done after radical cystectomy for bladder carcinoma. The median age was 48.5 years. There was 2 perioperative deaths with an operative mortality rate of [6.8%]. The early complication rate for issues indirectly related to the neobladder was [13.7%] compared to a [34.4%] directly neobladder-related complication rate. Neobladder-related late complications have been acceptable including urinary retention [11.1%], metabolic acidosis [7.4%]. Through March 2000, [11.1%] of the patients died of metabolic disease and [3.7%] of unrelated medical problem. Eight patients [29.6%] suffered pelvic recurrence. Diurnal continence was achieved in 85.2%, while the nocturnal continence rate was 48.1%. Two patients [7.4%] required intermittent catheterization because of inability to void. The median neobladder capacity was 447 ml. The upper tract remained stable in [59.2%] of the patients, improved in [11.1%]. Dilatation either unilateral or bilateral occured in [29.6%] of the patients; however, the renal function remained good in [18.1%] and impaired in [11.1%]
