RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To discuss perioperative treatment and cardiac function changes after medicine and surgical treatment of pheochromocytoma patients with severe catecholamine cardiomyopathy. METHODS: Five pheochromocytoma patients with severe catecholamine cardiomyopathy in our hospital for the past 5 years were studied, their general characteristics, clinical manifestations, diagnosis tests summarized and the cardiac function changes before and after the treatment evaluated. RESULTS: All the 5 patients were diagnosed definitely before operation. After medication, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of the 5 patients improved and 4 patients' LVEF increased 7-10 days after operation compared with after medication, and one patient's LVEF improved after 3 months. CONCLUSION: Pheochromocytoma patients with severe catecholamine cardiomyopathy should have adequate medication, and their abnormal cardiac function would be reversed after surgical treatment.

BACKGROUND: Incidence of intraoperative vaginal perforation is generally considered to be low but varies among different procedures. Vaginal perforation could not only prolong the surgeries and aggravate surgical trauma but also result in postoperative discomfort or even a second surgery. METHOD: Vaginal perforation, vaginal epithelial perforation, vaginal wall perforation, vaginal penetration, urinary incontinence were searched in PubMed, Cochrane, Embase database to identify the qualified clinical trial and relevant literature sources were also searched. RESULTS: A total of 9223 cases of from 33 trials from literatures and 387 cases from our own trail were analyzed, which provided detailed data on intraoperative vaginal perforation. Incidence of intraoperative vaginal perforation during mid-urethral sling surgery treating stress urinary incontinence was generally low, which was 1.56%. Incidence of intraoperative vaginal perforation during transobturator (TOR) procedure was higher than that during retropubic (RPR) procedure, which were 2.11% and 0.89% respectively. Incidence of intraoperative vaginal perforation during outside-to-inside TOR procedure like TOT and MONARC was higher than that during inside-to-outside TOR procedure like TVT-O, which were 2.74% and 1.52%, respectively. Incidence of intraoperative vaginal perforation during single-incision surgery like H-type TVT-SECUR reached 1.97%, while no report on U-type TVT-SECUR surgeries. CONCLUSION: The incidence of intraoperative vaginal during mid-urethral sling procedures for female stress urinary incontinence is fairly high. Vaginal perforation was more common in trans-obturator route (TOR) than retropubic route (RPR). In TOR route, it was less frequent in inside-to-outside procedure than outside-to-inside procedure. Surgery proficiency could also have an impact on this complication.

RATIONALE: Foreign bodies related ureteral obstruction and hydronephrosis is rare and usually cause numerous problems for clinical physicians. PATIENT CONCERNS: We report a 36-year-old female who was referred to our hospital due to a 4-year history of dull pain on the left back. DIAGNOSIS: X-ray and abdominal CT revealed a foreign body around the upper part of the left ureter with ureteral obstruction and hydronephrosis. INTERVENTIONS: Laparoscopy was performed and a 3-cm sewing needle was removed successfully. OUTCOMES: After 6 months' follow-up, the patient's ureteral obstruction and hydronephrosis were significantly reduced, and the double-J ureteral stent was removed. LESSONS: This case indicated that ureteral obstruction and hydronephrosis caused by foreign bodies needed to be early diagnosed and located. Invasive therapies rather than conservative treatments are preferred to remove the FBs and relieve obstruction.
