Hernia after retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy, case report.

ABSTRACT: We report the first case of a previously undocumented complication after posterior retroperitoneal adrenalectomy (PRA). Extensive diagnostic procedures for persisting abdominal pain led to diagnosis of an incisional hernia (IH) approximately 2.5 years after surgery for a pheochromocytoma of the right adrenal gland. Thus, IHs need to be recognized as a potential complication after PRA, particularly if the symptoms are non-specific. The differential diagnosis of an IH after PRA includes a type of spontaneous lumbar hernia due to a pre-existing weakness of the abdominal wall however the treatment for both type of hernias is similar by mesh repair. A possible risk factor for IH after PRA might be obesity, due to different factors including difficulties in closing the fascia in depth under subcutaneous tissue.

Retroperitoneoscopic partial adrenalectomy for metachronous renal cell carcinoma metastasis to solitary adrenal gland.

Project description:Metastasectomy is a widely accepted treatment for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) metastasis, and is regarded as the most effective strategy for increasing the rate of cancer-specific survival. However, since bilateral synchronous or metachronous adrenal metastasis of RCC is extremely rare, a standard approach has yet to be established. Partial adrenalectomy may avoid lifelong hormonal supplementation and reduce the risk of Addisonian crisis. A 71-year-old man had a previous history of left nephrectomy and ipsilateral adrenalectomy for metachronous adrenal metastasis. Metachronous contralateral adrenal metastasis was detected 2 years after ipsilateral adrenalectomy, and he underwent retroperitoneoscopic partial adrenalectomy using a vessel sealing device. Although corticosteroid replacement therapy was not prophylactically performed, the patient did not exhibit any symptoms of hypocorticism. Nine months after the surgery, the patient remains well without steroid supplementation, and neither local recurrence nor metastasis has been detected. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of laparoscopic partial adrenalectomy for RCC metastasis. The vessel sealing device was highly effective and suitable for laparoscopic partial adrenalectomy.

Retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy may be superior to laparoscopic transperitoneal adrenalectomy in terms of costs and profit: a retrospective pair-matched cohort analysis.

Project description:BackgroundA direct comparison of the cost-benefit analysis of retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy (RPA) versus the minimally invasive transperitoneal access (LTA) approach is currently lacking. We hypothesized that RPA is more cost effective than LTA; promising significant savings for the healthcare system in an era of ever more limited resources.MethodsWe performed a monocentric retrospective observational cohort study based on data from our Endocrine Surgery Registry. Patients who were operated upon between 2019 and 2022 were included. After pair-matching, both cohorts (RPA vs. LTA) were compared for perioperative variables and treatment costs (process cost calculation), revenue and profit.ResultsTwo homogenous cohorts of 43 patients each (RPA vs. LTA) were identified following matching. Patient characteristics between the cohorts were comparable. In terms of both treatment-associated costs and profit, the RPA procedure was superior to LTA (costs: US$5789.99 for RPA vs. US$6617.75 for LTA, P = 0.043; profit: US$1235.59 for RPA vs. US$653.33 for LTA, P = 0.027). The duration of inpatient treatment and comorbidities significantly influenced the cost of treatment and the overall profit.ConclusionsRPA appears not only to offer benefits over LTA in terms of perioperative morbidity and length of hospital stay, but also has a superior financial cost/benefit profile.

Renal‑rotation techniques in retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy for giant pheochromocytomas: a clinical intervention study with historical controls.

Project description:BackgroundDealing with the giant pheochromocytomas (maximum diameter ≥ 6 cm) has long been a tough challenge for urologists. We introduced a new retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy method modified with renal-rotation techniques to treat giant pheochromocytomas.Methods28 diagnosed patients were prospectively recruited as the intervention group. Meanwhile, by referring to the historical records in our database, matched patients who had undergone routine retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy (RA), transperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy (TA), or open adrenalectomy (OA) for giant pheochromocytomas were selected as controls. Perioperative and follow-up data were collected for comparative assessment.ResultsAmong all the groups, the intervention group had the minimal bleeding volume (28.93 ± 25.94 ml, p < 0.05), the least intraoperative blood pressure variation (59.11 ± 25.68 mmHg, p < 0.05), the shortest operation time (115.32 ± 30.69 min, p < 0.05), the lowest postoperative ICU admission rates (7.14%, p < 0.05), and shortest drainage time length (2.57 ± 0.50 days, p < 0.05). Besides, compared with TA and OA groups, intervention group was also characterized by lower pain scores (3.21 ± 0.63, p < 0.05), less postoperative complications (p < 0.05), earlier diet initiation time (1.32 ± 0.48 postoperative days, p < 0.05) and ambulation time (2.68 ± 0.48 postoperative days, p < 0.05). Follow-up blood pressure and metanephrine and normetanephrine levels in all intervention group patients remained normal.ConclusionCompared with RA, TA, and OA, retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy with renal-rotation techniques is a more feasible, efficient, and secure surgical treatment for giant pheochromocytomas.Trial registrationThis study has been prospectively registered on the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry website (ChiCTR2200059953, date of first registration: 14/05/2022).

Laparoscopic cytoreductive nephrectomy and adrenalectomy for metachronous RCC metastases-Case report.

Project description:IntroductionWe report the case of a 69 y.o. man with a left solitary kidney presenting 3 tumoral masses and suspicion of a left adrenal nodular tumor.Presentation of case48 months previously, the patient underwent laparoscopic right radical nephrectomy and adrenalectomy for a clear cell renal carcinoma, with a tumor free adrenal gland. 3D laparoscopic transperitoneal left cytoreductive nephrectomy and left adrenalectomy were performed within 23 min warm ischemia with no need of post operatory hemodialysis. The pathology exam reported metachronous metastases on left adrenal gland and on a left multifocal tumoral solitary kidney from the contralateral clear cell renal carcinoma prior diagnosed and treated at this patient.DiscussionCytoreductive nephrectomy on a solitary kidney brings technical challenges for the laparoscopic approach, especially when the tumor presents as multifocal lesions. Contralateral metachronous metastases and adrenal involvement in case of renal carcinoma are scarcely presented in the literature.ConclusionThe "en bloc" excision of the tumoral masses optimized warm ischemia time and improved the technical approach, even if the endophytic presentation imposed difficulty.

Double direct hernia, triple indirect hernia, double Pantaloon hernia (Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh Hernia) with anomalous inferior epigastric artey: Case report.

Project description:IntroductionDouble direct and triple indirect type hernia in unilateral inguinal hernia is unique. Anomaly of pathway traversed by inferior epigastric artery is always of surgical importance. Meticulous exploration of the groin is mandatory for diagnosis of rare hernia.Case reportA 46 year old male presented with the right groin swelling. An inguinal hernia having two direct types separated by anamalous inferior epigastric artery and three indirect types of hernia were present. There was one bubonocele and two funicular types of indirect type of hernia present on the single cord. Anamalous inferior epigastric artery lying superficially at midpoint of inguinal canal was buttresed in the posterior wall to prevent its entrapping in mesh. Individual ligation of the indirect sacs and Lichtenstein repair was done. This is first kind of unique case report with the new type of hernia reported in the English literature after searching Pubmed, Medline, Google Scholar and Embase database. This new hernia, Double Pantaloon hernia, as a mark of respect and unity, is named after its State of origin, "Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh" so called as "Jammu Kashmir and Ladakh Hernia".ConclusionDouble direct and triple indirect type hernia in a unilateral inguinal hernia is unique. Presence of multiple hernia sacs in the inguinal hernia is a risk for recurrence, if not detected. Inferior epigastric artery in inguinal canal may traverse an aberrant course.

Isolated congenital inter-costal pulmonary hernia: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundIntercostal lung herniation is a rare condition that may be congenital (20%) or acquired (80%). The isolated congenital form is exceptional, with one case reported in the literature.Case presentationWe report a case of a 10-year-old French boy of Algeria origin, born with intermittent swelling of his right hemithorax. The swelling and pain gradually increased with age. A clinical examination revealed a localized swelling of his right hemithorax at the level of the midclavicular line and the fifth intercostal space. The swelling increased in size during respiratory movements and enlarged with Valsalva maneuvers. The intercostal lung hernia was treated by thoracoscopy.ConclusionsThis is the second case of isolated congenital intercostal pulmonary hernia reported in the French and English literature. It is the first to be treated by thoracoscopy. Based on this case we performed a review of the diagnosis and therapeutic aspect of pulmonary hernias.

Gastric necrosis following a hiatal hernia: A case report.

Project description:IntroductionGastric volvulus are rare. Complications can be life threatening, including necrosis and perforation. Assessment of mucosal viability is essential, and urgent surgical intervention is mandatory in case of vascular compromise.Presentation of caseAn 72-year-old female known for a paraesophageal hiatal hernia was admitted at our emergency department with acute abdominal pain. Blood count demonstrated leukocytosis and increased C-reactive protein. Abdominal computed tomography showed a mesenteroaxial gastric volvulus. Urgent upper endoscopy revealed mucosal ischemia, which prompted immediate laparotomy with partial gastrectomy, cruroplasty, and Dor fundoplication. Postoperative course was uneventful.DiscussionGastric volvulus is initially treated with nasogastric tube decompression, but definitive treatment is achieved surgically. When there is an associated hernia, closing the anatomical defect and fundoplication should be performed. Complication such as necrosis is associated with a high mortality, and requires urgent surgical repair.ConclusionGastric volvulus can be life-threatening. Urgent endoscopic or surgical assessment should be conducted to assess mucosal viability.
