LAPAROSCOPIC TRANSPERITONEAL URETEROURETEROSTOMY COMBINED WITH RETROGRADE FLEXIBLE URETEROSCOPY ASSISTANCE FOR URETERAL STRICTURE- CASE SERIES OF SEVEN PATIENTS

Most strictures of the ureters are detected and usually occur in the part of the ureter when the calculus has been trapped for a long time, after ESWL or as a complication of transureteral lithotripsy after the introduction of the holmium laser. The treatment of these strictures variesand depends on many parameters, the most important being the type of stricture, severity, length and location. In many cases, endoscopic treatment with stenting is the first choice of treatment performed retro or antegrade. In case of failure or contraindication for endoscopic treatment, ureteral reconstruction can be performed by open, laparoscopic or robotic techniques. Laparoscopic ureteroureterostomy is a preferred minimally invasive technique for the treatment of benign ureteral strictures.

Laparoscopic transperitoneal adrenalectomy in the large adrenal tumor from single center experience

Background The role of laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA) in a large adrenal tumor is controversial due to the risk of malignancy and technical difficulty. In this study, we compared the perioperative outcomes and complications of LA on large (≥ 6 cm) and (< 6 cm) adrenal tumors. Methods We retrospectively reviewed all clinical data of patients who underwent unilateral transperitoneal LA in our institution between April 2000 and June 2019. Patients were classified by tumor size into 2 groups. Patients in group 1 had tumor size < 6 cm (n = 408) and patient in group 2 had tumor size ≥ 6 cm (n = 48). Demographic data, perioperative outcomes, complications, and pathologic reports were compared between groups. Results Patients in group 2 were significant older (p = 0.04), thinner (p = 0.001) and had lower incident of hypertension (p = 0.001), with a significantly higher median operative time (75 vs 120 min), estimated blood loss (20 vs 100 ml), transfusion rate (0 vs 20.8%), conversion rate (0.25 vs 14.6%) and length of postoperative stays ( 4 vs 5.5 days) than in group 2 (all p < 0.001). Group 2 patients also had significantly higher frequency of intraoperative complication (4.7 vs 31.3%; adjust Odds Ratio [OR] = 9.67 (95% CI 4.22–22.17), p-value < 0.001) and postoperative complication (5.4 vs 31.3%; adjust OR = 5.67 (95% CI 2.48–12.97), p-value < 0.001). Only eight (1.8%) major complications occurred in this study. The most common pathology in group 2 patient was pheochromocytoma and metastasis. Conclusions Laparoscopic transperitoneal adrenalectomy in large adrenal tumor ≥ 6 cm is feasible but associated with significantly worse intraoperative complications, postoperative complications, and recovery. However, most of the complications were minor and could be managed conservatively. Careful patient selection with the expert surgeon in adrenal surgery is the key factor for successful laparoscopic surgery in a large adrenal tumor. Trial registration: This study was retrospectively registered in the Thai Clinical Trials Registry on 02/03/2020. The registration number was TCTR20200312004.

Laparoscopic resection of a large mixed epithelial-stromal tumour of the seminal vesicle: a rare entity and review of the current literature

Mixed epithelial-stromal tumours (MESTs) of the seminal vesicle (SV) are a rare neoplasm, with biological behaviour ranging from benign to malignant. Due to their rarity, there are no established guidelines for their treatment. We report a 37-year-old man with a large MEST of the SV which was successfully resected by laparoscopic transperitoneal approach. Amidst the controversy regarding the nomenclature and grading of MESTs in literature, we reclassified the previous reports of MESTs incorporating both the WHO and Reikie et al grading.

Comparative study of morbidity and mortality pre- and postoperative of laparoscopic nephrectomy for inflammatory versus tumoral cause according to the Clavien–Dindo classification: prospective study over 2 years

Background For 29 years, Laparoscopic Nephrectomy has steadily established itself as a technique for kidney excision. Patients as well as surgeons appreciate the benefits of this less invasive technique. Although the morbidity and mortality of this minimally invasive technique are relatively low, the risks it entails must be taken into account seriously. The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the intra- and postoperative morbidity and mortality factors connected to Laparoscopic Transperitoneal Nephrectomy for inflammatory kidney versus tumoral kidney according to the Clavien–Dindo classification. Methods A prospective comparative mono-centric study was carried out over a period of 24 months (January 2018–January 2020) on patients having benefited from a Laparoscopic Transperitoneal Nephrectomy for Inflammatory (Group 1) or Tumoral (Group 2) causes. Postoperative morbidity and mortality were assessed according to the Dindo–Clavien classification. Results This study included 60 patients. Group 1 consisted of 32 patients (median age: 50.4 years) and Group 2 of 28 patients (median age: 61 years). Drainage of inflammatory kidneys was done preoperatively by nephrostomy drain (11 cases) and double J probe (3 cases). The mean operating time was longer in Group 1 (234 vs 186.8 min, p = 0.1). The conversion rate was statistically significant in Group 1 (6 vs 1, p < 0.05). The rate of Grade 1 complications is very significant in Group 1: ileus (6 vs 2, p = 0.02), postoperative antibiotic therapy (26 vs 3, p = 0.001) and infection of the wall (4 vs 0, p < 0.001). The rate of severe complications (Clavien ≥ 3) was the same in the two groups. The average length of hospital stay was higher in Group1. Conclusion Our work (study) showed a higher rate of severe complications in Laparoscopic nephrectomies for inflammatory causes.
