RESUMO
INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Renal trauma is a common and associated complication of abdominal trauma. Although there is consensus that most high-grade injuries require surgical exploration, nonoperative management remains a viable approach. We aim to report case reports of four cases of nonoperative isolated high-grade blunt renal trauma in adults, followed by a literature review. CASE PRESENTATION: A 22-year-old female presented to the emergency room (ER) with intermittent fever and associated symptoms of renal trauma, including persistent left flank pain, nausea, and vomiting. Three weeks earlier was diagnosed with left renal trauma AAST Grade IV. She was advised to go to the hospital but was refused admission. Then she came with intermittent fever, and a second abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan showed urinoma. The patient was managed with a Double J (DJ) stent and percutaneous drainage. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Conservative management is the standard of care for hemodynamically stable patients with AAST grade I to III renal injury, regardless of the mechanism of efficiency. If perinephric fluid collection persists despite interventions such as ureteral stenting or percutaneous nephrostomy drainage, percutaneous drainage may facilitate healing and prevent or treat abscesses. CONCLUSION: Minimal invasive management DJ stent insertion and percutaneous drainage can be used as a treatment for untreated high-grade renal trauma and urinoma as its complication.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: Urinothorax and urinoma are rare complications of obstructive uropathy. They might occur due to persistent high back pressure on the renal parenchyma. Urinothorax usually arises while the obstruction exists; in contrast to our case, the child presented after being operated on. He had falsely high creatinine before the operation, which was later explained by creatinine recirculation. CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND INTERVENTION: We are reporting an uncommon case of late presentation of ruptured urinoma in a 2-month-old Kuwaiti male. It led to urinothorax/uroperitoneum that caused respiratory distress and was associated with creatinine recirculation, requiring retroperitoneal perinephric catheter insertion. The child had recovered and was discharged home. CONCLUSION: A high index of suspicion is required to diagnose urinothorax, especially in patients with a history of obstructive uropathy. Aspiration of the pleural effusion will guide you to reach the diagnosis. Creatinine recirculation is rarely described in the literature. Having a patient with urinothorax/uroperitoneum should raise the suspicion of falsely elevated creatinine levels.

Spontaneous urinoma is a rare urological complication that can occur following acute urinary obstruction. It involves a collection of urine that typically forms around the kidney as a result of rupture of the fornix. There are several causes of acute urinary stasis, including lithiasis, tumors, prostatic hypertrophy, and others. We present a unique case of an asymptomatic spontaneous urinoma discovered incidentally during the extension study of a 66-year-old woman with cervical cancer. The positive diagnosis was made through a combination of ultrasound and uro-computed tomography scan. The evolution was marked by the occurrence of a uremic encephalopathy, leading to death before any treatment.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: Open ureteral reimplantation is considered the standard surgical approach to treat distal ureteral strictures or injuries. These procedures are increasingly performed in a minimally invasive and robotic-assisted manner. Notably, no series comparing perioperative outcomes and safety of the open vs. robotic approach are available so far. METHODS: In this retrospective multi-center study, we compared data from 51 robotic ureteral reimplantations (RUR) with 79 open ureteral reimplantations (OUR). Both cohorts were comparatively assessed using different baseline characteristics and perioperative outcomes. Moreover, a multivariate logistic regression for independent predictors was performed. RESULTS: Surgery time, length of hospital stay and dwell time of bladder catheter were shorter in the robotic cohort, whereas estimated blood loss, postoperative blood transfusion rate and postoperative complications were lower than in the open cohort. In the multivariate linear regression analysis, robotic approach was an independent predictor for a shorter operation time (coefficient - 0.254, 95% confidence interval [CI] - 0.342 to - 0.166; p < 0.001), a lower estimated blood loss (coefficient - 0.390, 95% CI - 0.549 to - 0.231, p < 0.001) and a shorter length of hospital stay (coefficient - 0.455, 95% CI - 0.552 to - 0.358, p < 0.001). Moreover, robotic surgery was an independent predictor for a shorter dwell time of bladder catheter (coefficient - 0.210, 95% CI - 0.278 to - 0.142, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: RUR represents a safe alternative to OUR, with a shorter operative time, decreased blood loss and length of hospital stay. Prospective research are needed to further define the extent of the advantages of the robotic approach over open surgery.

PURPOSE: This study aimed to identify the characteristics associated with the need for urinary intervention for a blunt renal injury with collection system involvement using a computed tomography (CT) protocol for trauma. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Abdominal CT images of patients with blunt renal injuries from 2016 to 2020 were reviewed. Patients with low-grade renal trauma, non-collecting system involvement, American Association for the Surgery of Trauma grade V shattered kidney, and emergent nephrectomy were excluded. The largest perinephric mass thickness was measured in the axial view using CT, and a cutoff value was obtained using a receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis. Risk factors for further urinary intervention were analyzed. RESULTS: Among the 70 patients included in this study, those with perinephric mass thicknesses < 25 mm (n = 36) had a significantly lower rate of urinary intervention than those with perinephric mass thicknesses ≥ 25 mm (0 vs. 5; p = 0.023). There was no significant difference in the follow-up durations of the groups (19 days vs. 38 days; p = 0.198). More than 90% of the perinephric mass in the < 25 mm group resolved within a median follow-up duration of 38 days, whereas nearly half of the ≥ 25 mm group had a residual perinephric mass during a median follow-up duration of 19 days. CONCLUSION: The initial CT protocol for trauma was useful for predicting the need for further urinary interventions for collecting system injuries. A perinephric mass thickness < 25 mm is predictive of a low likelihood of requiring urinary intervention.

PURPOSE: To identify the risk factors for adverse outcomes after pediatric pyeloplasty. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective review of all children under the age of 14 years who underwent primary pyeloplasty for unilateral ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction at a single teaching hospital in Tunisia between January 1, 2013, and December 31, 2022. RESULTS: A total of 103 patients were included. Median age of patients at surgery was 27 months (interquartile range [IQR], 13-44). On ultrasound, median renal pelvic anteroposterior diameter was 3.2 cm (IQR, 2.3-4), and the median renal cortex thickness (RCT) was 2.5 mm (IQR, 2-3.5). Median differential renal function (DRF) on preoperative radionuclide renal scan was 40% (IQR, 30-46). Postoperative adverse outcomes occurred in 28 patients (27.2%). These included 19 cases of urinary tract infections (UTIs), 11 cases of UPJ restenosis, four cases of UPJ leakage, two cases of urinoma, and two cases of diversion-related complications. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed two factors significantly and independently related to postoperative negative outcomes: RCT <3 mm and DRF > 50%. CONCLUSION: Our study demonstrated that preoperative RCT on ultrasound of less than 3 mm and preoperative DRF on radionuclide renal scan of more than 50% were independent risk factors for adverse outcomes following pediatric pyeloplasty. These factors could be of interest in identifying, early on, patients who will develop postoperative negative outcomes, giving them more attention and support, and explaining the prognosis to the patient and family.

BACKGROUND: Pop-off mechanisms are potential pressure-relieving mediators in patients diagnosed with posterior urethral valves (PUV). This systematic review aimed to synthesize the existing evidence regarding the protective effect of pop-off mechanisms on renal function in children with PUV. METHODS: We conducted a systematic review of the literature that involved an extensive search in the main databases of the medical bibliography. Three independent reviewers selected the relevant articles. Methodological quality was rated using the Newcastle Ottawa Scale index. We used random meta-analyses to compare different outcomes (serum creatine, Nadir serum creatinine, and Chronic Kidney Disease) between children with PUV and pop-off mechanisms and those with PUV without pop-off mechanisms. RESULTS: 10 studies with data from 896 participants were included in this review. Seven articles reported serum creatinine values for each group and 3 of them found significant differences between groups. The random-effects meta-analysis for serum creatinine showed significant lower mean (diff = -52.88 µmol/L [95 % CI -73.65 to -32.11]) in the group of children with pop-off mechanisms, and the random-effects meta-analysis for Nadir serum creatinine showed a marginally significantly lower mean in the group of children with pop-off mechanisms (diff = -12.00 µmol/L [95 % CI -24.04 to 0.04]). The random-effect meta-analysis for Chronic Kidney Disease resulted in a significant risk reduction for the group of children with pop-off mechanisms (odds ratio = 0.48 [95 % CI 0.23 to 0.98]). CONCLUSIONS: Children with PUV and pop-off mechanisms show better renal function and lower risk of Chronic Kidney Disease than those with PUV without pop-off mechanisms suggesting these mechanisms may act as renoprotective mediators. The high heterogeneity between studies in the assessment of renal function and long-term outcomes calls for a cautious interpretation of these findings. Future studies that stratify by different types of pop-off mechanisms and use standardized metrics, such as Nadir creatinine, are needed.

Urinomas are an accumulation of urine in the perirenal or paraureteral space due to urinary tract leakage. Stimulation of an inflammatory response results in the formation of a thick wall that encapsulates the urine. Etiologies of urinomas include trauma, surgery, or spontaneous occurrence. Complications when untreated vary and include peritonitis, fibrosis, abscess formation, and septic shock. We present a 52-year-old male with a neurogenic bladder who developed a rectus urinoma from the thorax to the scrotum. This likely developed from urethral trauma from intermittent self-catheterization. The patient received antibiotic therapy and percutaneous drainage catheters were placed in the rectus and pelvis, resolving the urinoma. We conclude that patients who perform intermittent self-catheterization may be more susceptible to formation of urinomas due to improper catheter usage. The intricate fascial connections between the pelvis and abdomen make proper interventions for suspected urinary tract injury crucial in patients who self-catheterize.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Urinoma, a rare condition resulting from urine leakage due to trauma to the kidney, bladder, or urethra, is typically diagnosed using enhanced computed tomography urogram with delayed imaging. This report presents two cases of urinoma likely caused by overdistention of the renal pelvis following excessive fluid intake and the presence of a ureteral stone. CASE PRESENTATION: We present two cases of 36-year-old and 38-year-old patients who presented with flank pain. point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) played a pivotal role in identifying perinephric fluid in Morrison's space and the splenorenal space, respectively. These ultrasound findings guided further investigations, leading to definitive diagnoses via abdominal pelvic CT scans. Treatment involved prophylactic antibiotics and the successful placement of a double J stent into the renal pelvis over the wire under fluoroscopic guidance, which resulted in significant clinical improvement for both patients. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates the rare occurrence of urinoma from urolithiasis, the use of POCUS in expediting diagnosis and treatment, and the importance of interpreting sonographic images in the correct clinical setting.
RESUMO
Introduction: Iatrogenic ureteral injury is a rare but often encountered complication of abdominal and gynecological surgery. This is a case of iatrogenic ureteral injury with infected urinoma treated with one-stage laparoscopic drainage and ureterocystoneostomy. Case presentation: An 80-year-old man with rectal cancer had robot-assisted low anterior rectum resection and left lateral lymph node dissection after colostomy and preoperative chemoradiotherapy. On the 14th postoperative day, he had a fever, and a noncontrast-enhanced computed tomography scan revealed a low-density polycystic area in the left pelvic cavity. Retrograde pyelography revealed contrast medium leaking from the left lower ureter, preventing ureteral stent placement. We identified it as a delayed ureteral injury with infected urinoma and performed laparoscopic one-stage drainage and ureterocystoneostomy. Conclusion: This study reported a case of one-stage laparoscopic drainage and ureterocystoneostomy for iatrogenic ureteral injury with infected urinoma.
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Bladder rupture, or perforation, is the rupture of the urinary bladder, which is often clinically classified as intraperitoneal, extraperitoneal, or combined types. Spontaneous bladder perforation is an extremely rare event and constitutes less than 2 % of bladder ruptures. It is often associated with previous bladder manipulation, lower urinary tract obstruction, instrumentation, pelvic radiotherapy or surgery, inflammation, and malignancy. Blood work will demonstrate leukocytosis with left shift, hematuria on urinalysis, and an ascites to serum creatinine ratio of more than one, which is highly suggestive of bladder rupture. CASE PRESENTATION: A 38-year-old male patient presented with abdominal pain for 8 h and loss of consciousness lasting 4 h. The patient was acutely sick-looking with borderline blood pressure of 90/60 mmHg, pulse rate of 120, and has alcoholic breath. With a diagnosis of viscus perforation, he was operated and there was a 1 × 1 cm bladder dome perforation, which looks fresh. The ruptured edge was refreshed and repaired in two layers. The patient has recovered well, discharged and was fine on subsequent follow-ups. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Bladder rupture commonly develops after blunt abdominal trauma, of which more than 60 % is extraperitoneal. Intraperitoneal bladder rupture constitutes only a small fraction of all cases of rupture. There are only a few reports of spontaneous bladder rupture in the scientific literature. The risk of bladder rupture may be increased in the alcohol-impaired patient owing to decreased bladder filling sensation and abnormal behavioral responses. CONCLUSION: Bladder rupture is a rare diagnosis in surgical patients, and spontaneous rupture is by far a very rare finding. The diagnosis of bladder perforation is often overlooked preoperatively for the obvious reason of its rarity and non-specific presentation. Early identification and timely management decrease mortality.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Anterior lumbosacral interbody fusion (ALIF) surgery is a predominant approach used in various indications such as treating discogenic back pain, spondylolisthesis, degenerative lumbar scoliosis, intervertebral foraminal stenosis, or spondylolysis. In comparison with posterior conventional approach, ALIF surgery has several advantages: direct access to the spine without muscle dissection, reduced blood loss, decreased postoperative pain, and improved fusion rates. Rare complications following ALIF surgery need to be reported, therefore the authors present an uncommon case of a ureteral injury diagnosed early after surgery and its management. MANAGEMENT OF A URINOMA: Herein, we present a case of a 35-year-old man who presented with abnormal abdominal pains 4 days after ALIF surgery. He was diagnosed with a distal left iatrogenic ureteral fistula on a contrast enhanced CT. After the initial endoscopic approach with double J stent and urinary catheter drainage insertion had failed, the injury was finally treated with ureterovesical reimplantation. At the last follow-up, the patient did well without any clinical or biological urinary sequelae after this grade IIIb complication on the Clavien Dindo Scale. CONCLUSION: Although ureteral lesions during ALIF surgery are extremely uncommon, surgeons must be cautious when dissecting the retroperitoneal area. A methodical identification of the ureter might guarantee the security of each surgery, especially for patients who have undergone previous abdominal interventions.

Urinoma formation as the first manifestation of carcinoma prostate is uncommon and has been reported only twice in the literature. We report a case of prostatic carcinoma in an elderly man who first presented in the emergency department with left-sided abdominal pain. His radiological investigations revealed a left-sided urinoma with dilatation of the entire ureter and an enlarged prostate with areas of varied intensity especially in the peripheral zone of the left lobe. In view of raised serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) (155 ng/ml), a prostate biopsy was done, which showed features of adenocarcinoma (Gleason score 5+5). He was managed with pigtail drainage of urinoma, followed by double J stenting of the left ureter, and later underwent bilateral orchidectomy to reduce tumor burden, being metastatic disease. The stent was removed at a later date.
RESUMO
This report presents a remarkable and unusual case of extrapulmonary small cell carcinoma (EPSCC) occurring in the prostate of a 77-year-old male patient with a previous history of prostate adenocarcinoma and multiple metastases. EPSCC is a highly aggressive form of cancer that often results in unfavorable survival outcomes, posing significant challenges in terms of management due to the absence of established treatment protocols. Despite receiving standard treatment including bicalutamide and leuprorelin, the patient's condition showed no improvement. Consequently, the medical team made the decision to administer a carboplatin-etoposide chemotherapy regimen along with durvalumab, drawing upon the efficacy observed in similar treatment approaches for small cell carcinoma of the lung. This case highlights the critical need for further research and clinical trials to establish optimal treatment strategies for EPSCC affecting the prostate. By enhancing our understanding of this rare malignancy, we can potentially improve patient outcomes and develop targeted therapies tailored to its aggressive nature.
RESUMO
Posterior urethral valves (PUV) are an uncommon urologic congenital anomaly in males often discovered antenatally and more rarely after birth. PUV can lead to obstructive nephropathy and voiding dysfunction, putting patients at increased risk for irreversible renal damage and subsequent progression to end-stage renal disease. Much of the renal damage caused by PUV is proportional to the amount of time that the kidney has been experiencing retrograde pressure. Although much debate exists within the field, spontaneous decompression within the collecting system (e.g., "pop-off" valve) such as urinoma formation or spontaneous ascites has been found to relieve pressure on and thus protect the kidney, decreasing the risk of progression to advanced stages of chronic kidney disease. Despite the significant mass effect on the renal parenchyma, the pressure-relieving function of urinoma formation is a net protective factor allowing renal function to be preserved. We report a unique case of antenatal detection of PUV in a male with postnatal complicated urinoma formation secondary to forniceal rupture. Remarkably, despite significant external compression of the kidney and the development of urosepsis from infection of the urinoma with a multidrug-resistant organism that required percutaneous drainage, renal function was preserved throughout the disease course. After ablation of the PUV and drainage of the septic urinoma, the patient recovered rapidly after intervention and was ultimately discharged in stable condition.
RESUMO
Rupture of the renal collecting system is a rare event, usually occurring at the ureterovesical junction (UVJ). The most common cause is nephrolithiasis, usually directly correlated with the size of the stone. Other causes include bladder outlet obstruction, ureteropelvic junction obstruction, and extrinsic ureteral compression by a malignant pathology. The mechanism is increased pressure within the collecting system, and symptoms vary from vague mild abdominal pain to severe excruciating pain. We present a case of a 19-year-old female with obstructive uropathy and renal calyceal rupture caused by a 3 mm stone at the UVJ. Due to the small size of the stone and her hemodynamic stability, she was treated conservatively with tamsulosin and IV ceftriaxone. The following day she passed sediment in the urine and noted pain improvement. Calyceal rupture with small stones is exceedingly rare, may be missed on a CT without contrast, and should be suspected when perinephric edema or fluid is seen. This is the smallest recorded stone causing calyceal rupture to the best of our knowledge. CT with contrast is indicated for diagnosis when calyceal rupture is suspected and is suggested by extravasation of contrast. Early diagnosis and intervention, in collaboration with urologists, can help to avoid long-term complications such as acute kidney injury, urosepsis, and urinoma. Conservative management may still be considered after a calyceal rupture in patients with small, potentially passable stones. However, if there is associated obstructive uropathy, infection, or significant rupture, then stenting may be indicated. This case highlights the diagnosis of calyceal rupture in the setting of tiny stones and the efficacy of conservative therapy versus early stenting in the management of stable patients.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: To determine the role of pressure pop-off mechanisms, including vesicoureteral reflux and renal dysplasia (VURD) syndrome, in determining long-term kidney outcomes in boys with posterior urethral valves (PUV). METHODS: A systematic search was performed in December 2022. Descriptive and comparative studies with a defined pressure pop-off group were included. Assessed outcomes included end-stage renal disease (ESRD), kidney insufficiency (defined as chronic kidney disease [CKD] stage 3 + or SCr > 1.5 mg/dL), and kidney function. Pooled proportions and relative risks (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were extrapolated from available data for quantitative synthesis. Random-effects meta-analyses were performed according to the study design and techniques. The risk of bias was assessed with the QUIPS tool and GRADE quality of evidence. The systematic review was prospectively registered on PROSPERO (CRD42022372352). RESULTS: A total of 15 studies describing 185 patients with a median follow-up of 6.8 years were included. By the last follow-up, overall effect estimates demonstrate the prevalence of CKD and ESRD to be 15.2% and 4.1%, respectively. There was no significant difference in the risk of ESRD in patients with pop-off compared to no pop-off patients [RR 0.34, 95%CI 0.12, 1.10; p = 0.07]. There was a significantly reduced risk for kidney insufficiency in boys with pop-off [RR 0.57, 95%CI 0.34, 0.97; p = 0.04], but this protective effect was not re-demonstrated after excluding studies with inadequate reporting of CKD outcomes [RR 0.63, 95%CI 0.36, 1.10; p = 0.10]. Included study quality was low, with 6 studies having moderate risk and 9 having a high risk of bias. CONCLUSIONS: Pop-off mechanisms may be associated with reducing the risk of kidney insufficiency, but current certainty in the evidence is low. Further research is warranted to investigate sources of heterogeneity and long-term sequelae in pressure pop-offs.

INTRODUCTION. Chronic kidney disease is defined as the progressive, permanent and irreversible loss of renal function, one of the treatments is renal transplantation, which increases the quality of life of patients with this pathology, however, despite being one of the best therapies, it is not free of complications, especially those that occur after surgery, since they affect the proper functioning of the graft and affect its survival. OBJECTIVE. To determine the prevalence of clinical and surgical complications in immediate post-renal transplantation in order to identify the main complications that cause greater deterioration in short-term renal function. MATERIAL AND METHODS. Cross-sectional descriptive observational study, of transplanted patients under follow-up from January 2015 to December 2018 in the Renal Transplant service of the Hospital de Especialidades Carlos Andrade Marín. The sample will be the 211 cadaveric donor transplanted patients. The analyses were performed with the IBM SPSS version 25 statistical package, for which descriptive statistics were used, using tables and representing the absolute and relative values of qualitative variables, as well as measures of central tendency and variability for quantitative variables. RESULTS. We studied 193 transplanted patients of whom 49.66% had complications, of which 33. Of the clinical complications, urinary tract infection was the most prevalent with 15%, followed by acute rejection 6.7%, polyomavirus BK infections were 6.2%, acute tubular necrosis 3.16%, ending with hyperacute rejection in 1.5% and calcineurin toxicity 1.04%. Meanwhile, urological surgical complications are the most prevalent 8.8% followed by liquid collections with 6.74% and finally vascular thrombosis with 1.04%. CONCLUSIONS. The most prevalent complications are clinical vs. surgical, affecting renal function at one year with no statistically significant difference.
