Long Term Follow Up

A case of bilateral, upper urinary tract infection caused by haemolytic E coli in a female Birman cat is presented. Ultrasonographic examination of the kidneys documented changes in size, outline, echogenicity and architecture. Ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration of fluid from the renal pelvis was used to make the diagnosis. Fluid was submitted for culture and sensitivity and based on the results, antimicrobial therapy was initiated. The treatment was monitored over a 406-day follow-up period. Despite extensive treatment with specific antibiotics and supportive therapy, recurrence of urinary tract infection occurred.

Objective: Large congenital bladder diverticula (LCBD), congenital bladder diverticula (CBD) larger than 2 cm diameter, is a rare anomaly. The aim of this study was to report long-term surgical and clinical outcomes of children with LCBD. Methods: Medical charts of all children who were diagnosed with LCBD at our institution between April 2005 and December 2017, with at least 2 year follow-up were retrospectively reviewed. Patients’ demographics, symptoms, operative technique, diverticulum size and localization, surgical outcomes and complications were recorded. Results: Fourteen patients with 18 LCBD, all male and age between 7 and 240 months (mean age: 53.5 months) were included in the study. Urinary tract infection was the main complaint in 10. Vesicoureteral reflux was detected in eight patients. Diverticula were 2–5.5 cm (mean 3.3 cm) in size. All diverticulectomies were performed transvesically and ureteroneocystostomy was added in 12 patients, 5 of whom were bilateral. No postoperative infection or recurrent reflux were observed. The median follow-up period was 4.5 years (2–12 years). Conclusion: Treatment of LCBD is mostly surgical and transvesical approach for diverticulectomy was found to be a safe and effective surgical procedure in long term follow-up.

Forgotten Ureteral Stent

Introduction Forgotten indwelling ureteral stents can cause significant urological complications. Only few cases are reported after kindney transplantation. Materials and Methods We present a case of a 39-year-old woman, transplanted in 1993 and referred to our Transplant Center 8 years later, because of a serious urinary tract infection with renal function impairment. Abdominal CT scan showed pyelonephritis and hydronephrosis in the transplanted kidney and the presence of a calcific ureteral stent, which had been forgotten in situ for 8 years. The stent was removed, but it was impossibile to replace it with a new stent both retrogradely and anterogradely, because of a tight obstruction of the mid ureter. So a uretero-ureteral anastomosis with up urinary tract was performed. Results No intra- or post-operative complications occurred. At 9 years’ follow-up, the patient shows an optimal renal function, with no urinary tract infection. Discussion A forgotten ureteral stent in a trasplanted kidney can cause a lot of complications and can lead to graft loss. The prosthesis may cause an irreversibile ureteral damage, so, as in our experience, forgetting a ureteral stent can result in a complex surgery.

Complication Rates

Case series summary Medical records were reviewed for cats that underwent a perineal urethrostomy performed in dorsal recumbency for the treatment of urethral obstruction. Information, including signalment, reason for presentation, number of previous obstructions, surgery time, and perioperative and postoperative complications, were collected through a review of medical records and owner follow-up. The objective was to evaluate short- and long-term complications in cats that underwent perineal urethrostomy performed in dorsal recumbency for treatment of urethral obstruction. Relevance and novel information No major or life-threatening complications, such as urethral stricture, re-obstruction, euthanasia due to lower urinary signs or chronic urinary tract infection, were reported. Short-term complications were limited to dysuria in 2/12 (16.7%) cats. Long-term follow-up was available for nine cats. The most common long-term complication seen in this population of cats was a single recurrence of urinary tract infection in 3/9 (33.3%) cats that resolved after a short course of empirical antibiotic therapy. Performing perineal urethrostomy in dorsal recumbency is safe and may have advantages to ventral recumbency due to improved visualization, allowing for more efficient dissection and improved accuracy in tissue apposition during closure. We believe this has been a major contributor to our reported reduced major postoperative complication rate.
