RESUMO
Ureterocele is a cystic dilation of the distal ureter that exits into the urinary bladder. It is a rare condition in adults of which women are the most affected. Its clinical manifestations are very broad and among them the presence of a vulvar mass and symptoms of urinary obstruction stand out. We report the case of a strangulated ureterocele prolapse in a 54-year-old woman with a vulvar mass and signs of urinary obstruction. Initial management with reduction of the mass and finally decided to perform a ureteral reimplantation. Favorable evolution in medical follow-up.
RESUMO
Hyperimmunoglobulin E syndrome or Job syndrome is defined as an immune and connective tissue disorder that results in complications such as invasive infections. On the other hand, Fournier gangrene is a rapidly progressive necrotizing fasciitis that affects the perineal area, has a polymicrobial etiology, and its treatment consists of rapid and aggressive surgical debridement, antibiotic therapy, and hemodynamic support. We present the case of Fournier gangrene in an 11-year-old boy with a diagnosis of hyperimmunoglobulinemia E. who was admitted with scrotal necrosis with favorable evolution after initial medical management.
RESUMO
Los agentes antifibrinolíticos, como el ácido tranexámico, por medio de su administración endovenosa se usan en distintos procedimientos quirúrgicos para prevenir la pérdida de sangrado perioperatorio.[1] Este medicamento es un derivado sintético análogo de la lisina que bloquea los sititos de unión de la lisina en el plasminógeno, inhibiendo su conversión a plasmina e interfiriendo en la fibrinólisis.[2] La aplicación del ácido tranexámico para disminuir el riesgo de sangrado ha sido utilizado en procedimientos urológicos como la resección transuretral prostática (RTUP), prostatectomía radical y nefrolitotomía percutánea (NLP),[3] [4] [5] también se emplea para disminuir las hematurias persistentes en pacientes con poliquistosis renal y en otras hematurias macroscópicas de origen urológico.
Antifibrinolytic agents, such as tranexamic acid, by intravenous administration are used in various surgical procedures to prevent perioperative bleeding loss.[1] This drug is a synthetic lysine analog derivative that blocks the lysine binding sites on plasminogen, inhibiting its conversion to plasmin and interfering with fibrinolysis.[2] The application of tranexamic acid to reduce the risk of bleeding has been used in urological procedures such as transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), radical prostatectomy and nephrolithotomy. The application of tranexamic acid to reduce the risk of bleeding has been used in urological procedures such as transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), radical prostatectomy and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL),[3] [4] [5] it is also used to reduce persistent hematuria in patients with polycystic kidney disease and other macroscopic hematuria of urological origin.
