Project description:Patients with deranged renal functions have a number of associated factors which can impair healing of wound and increase postoperative morbidity. This study was conducted to assess the problems while managing ectopic pelvic kidney calculi using laparoscopic approach for percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in chronic kidney disease patients.Patients with calculi in ectopic kidney with increased serum creatinine level secondary to obstruction were included in the study. Initially, obstruction was relieved. Patients later underwent laparoscopic-assisted PCNL. Patients were monitored postoperatively.Three patients with large renal calculi in ectopic pelvic kidney had presented in 2 years. Laparoscopic-assisted PCNL was done to remove the stone. Patients had persistent urine leak post-operatively. Mean duration for removal of nephrostomy tube and drain removal were 4.67 days and 6.67 days, respectively. These patients also had paralytic ileus for prolonged duration.Although laparoscopic assisted PCNL is an option in the management of patients with stone disease in ectopic pelvic kidney, prolonged time for healing of tract may increase postoperative morbidity in these patients with impaired renal function.

Project description:Renal Ectopia is a rare developmental anomaly, leading to failure of mature kidney to reach its normal location within the renal fossa. Most ectopic kidneys are asymphtomatic and gets diagnosed as incidental finding on radiography or at surgery. The incidence of RCC in ectopic kidney are very uncommon, presenting with atypical symptoms causes a diagnostic as well as therapeutic dilemma in front of urologists. We present a case of 65 years old gentleman, having complaints of hematuria having heterogeneously enhancing SOL in left pelvic ectopic kidney.

Project description:BackgroundAcquired perineal hernia is a rare complication following extensive pelvic surgery. Radiotherapy is also a predisposing factor. Perineal hernia can cause chronic perineal pain, bowel obstruction, urinary disorders and a cosmetically disfiguring defect. The treatment of perineal hernia is surgical, usually consisting of mesh repair via an abdominal or perineal approach.Case presentationWe present a case report and a surgical video of a 42-year-old woman with history of a squamous cell carcinoma. This patient had 3 recurrences since the diagnosis and a symptomatic perineal hernia. Complete regression of the recurrent malignancy allowed us to treat the perineal hernia. We performed laparoscopic repair with prosthetic mesh in this patient who had undergone multiple surgeries and radiotherapy, while preserving the omental flap that was used to reconstruct the posterior part of the vagina.ConclusionThere is no consensus concerning the preferred surgical approach, perineal or laparoscopic, as no study has demonstrated the superiority of either of these approaches. Laparoscopic repair for an acquired perineal hernia is safe and feasible. However, further studies including randomized trials are required to precisely evaluate the best surgical approach and type of mesh.

Project description:IntroductionPatient age and hospital volume have been shown to affect perioperative outcomes after pediatric pyeloplasty. However, there are few multicenter studies that focus on outcomes at teaching hospitals, where many of the operations are performed.ObjectiveThe goal was to determine if surgical approach, age, case volume, or other factors influence perioperative outcomes in a large contemporary cohort.Study designUsing the clinical database/resource manager (CDB/RM) of the University Health-System Consortium (UHC), children who underwent open, laparoscopic, or robotic pyeloplasty from 2011 to 2014 were identified at 102 academic institutions. Surgery type, age, race, gender, insurance type, geographic region, comorbidities, surgeon volume, and hospital volume were measured. Multivariable mixed-effects logistic regression analysis was used to analyze independent variables associated with complication rates, length of stay (LOS), readmission rates, and ICU admission.ResultsA total of 2219 patients were identified. Complication rates were 2.1%, 2.2%, and 3% after open, laparoscopic, and robotic pyeloplasty, respectively. Approximately 12% of patients had underlying comorbidities. Comorbidities were associated with 3.1 times increased odds for complication (p = 0.001) and a 35% longer length of stay (p < 0.001). Age, gender, insurance type, and hospital volume had no effect on complication rates. A trend was seen towards a lower rate of complications with higher surgeon volume (p = 0.08). The mean LOS was 2.0 days in the open pyeloplasty group, 2.4 days in the laparoscopic group and 1.8 days in the robotic group. Patients who underwent robotic surgery had an estimated LOS 11% shorter than those after open surgery (p = 0.03) (Table). Patients aged 5 years and under who had robotic surgery had an estimated LOS 14% shorter than those after open surgery (p = 0.06). ICU admission and hospital readmission were not associated with any variables.DiscussionThe study is limited by the accuracy of the data submitted by the hospitals and is subject to coding error. Complication rates remain low in all three approaches, validating their safety. Patients, including younger patients, had shorter lengths of stay after robotic surgery. The statistically significant differences between approaches were small so clinically there may not be a difference.ConclusionsThis large multicenter analysis demonstrates that patient comorbidity had the greatest impact upon complication rates and length of stay. Previous work showed that the benefits of laparoscopy were limited to older children. However, this large multicenter study suggests that these benefits now extend to young children with the application of robotics.

Project description:The aim of this case report was to evaluate the results of isthmusectomy and pyeloplasty of horseshoe kidney with the da Vinci robotic-assisted laparoscopy system.This case presented 1 patient with left back pain, associated with lower abdominal pain, and then she underwent the isthmusectomy and dismembered pyeloplasty using robotic-assisted laparoscopy simultaneously. The operation was performed by a transperitoneal approach using 5 ports.We cut the renal isthmus by means of bipolar scissors and then closed the renal parenchyma with 3-0 absorbed stitches. The total operation time was 123?min including simultaneous dismembered pyeloplasty. Blood loss was <50?mL. There were no complications either during or after the procedure. The oral nutrition and mobilization were included on the second day after surgery. The peritoneal drainage was removed on the eighth day. Long-term follow-up after treatment showed good results.The da Vinci robotic-assisted laparoscopy is an alternative to open surgery and laparoscopy, particularly in the correction of congenital defects of the urinary tract. Furthermore, the da Vinci robotic-assisted laparoscopy technique in isthmusectomy and pyeloplasty is safe for patient as shown by our results.

Project description:IntroductionParagonimiasis, lung fluke disease caused by infection with Paragonimus species, is a food-borne parasitic zoonosis. The overriding symptoms of Paragonimus westermani infection include chronic cough, shortness of breath, and pleuritic pain. Extrapulmonary paragonimiasis caused by aberrant parasitic migration is known to occur in a variety of sites such as the brain, abdominal wall, and intraperitoneal cavity. Ectopic paragonimiasis is an uncommon disease that presents with a few clinical manifestations, which makes it difficult to diagnose and treat.Case presentationA 47-year-old man with an unremarkable medical and surgical history presented with a peritoneal lesion that was discovered incidentally on abdominal computed tomography during routine health screening. The patient did not exhibit any associated symptoms such as abdominal pain. The radiologic diagnosis was a gastric duplication cyst and we performed laparoscopic excision of the peritoneal mass. Histopathological examination revealed paragonimiasis, and the result of the skin test for paragonimiasis was positive. The patient was treated with praziquantel.Clinical discussionThe diagnosis of ectopic peritoneal paragonimiasis remains challenging due to inexperience, misdiagnosis, and its rarity. Clinicians should bear in mind that an intra-abdominal mass may be related to a parasitic infection. The detection of the ova of Paragonimus parasites in sputum and biopsy specimens may be difficult due to an insufficient amount.ConclusionClinicians need to thoroughly take the patient's history and clinically suspect parasitic infections. Laparoscopic resection of this rare mass is safe, feasible, and allows for rapid recovery.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Ectopic insulinoma is a rare entity that is difficult to diagnose before surgery. This article reports two cases of ectopic insulinoma. CASE PRESENTATION:Two patients manifested recurrent hypoglycemia with a typical Whipple triad. In terms of the qualitative diagnosis, the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) suggested a diagnosis of hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia. However, preoperative imaging did not show a significant mass in the pancreas. In one patient, preoperative abdominal enhanced volume perfusion computed tomography (CT), somatostatin receptor imaging and 99mTc-HYNIC-TOC SPECT/CT revealed a mass with a rich blood supply anterior to the duodenum. In the other patient, preoperative enhanced CT, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and 68Ga-Exendin-4 PET/CT showed a mass above the spleen. After surgical removal of the tumor, both patients received a confirmed diagnosis of neuroendocrine tumors by postoperative pathology. The symptoms of hypoglycemia were relieved after surgery, and the blood glucose level was significantly increased. CONCLUSION:Ectopic insulinoma is difficult to locate before surgery. 68Ga-Exendin-4 PET/CT has a high diagnostic value. Surgical removal of the lesion is main treatment.

Project description:IntroductionCongenital diaphragmatic eventration is characterized by the elevation of the diaphragm, causing a protrusion of the intraabdominal viscera into the affected hemithorax and resulting in respiratory distress. Diaphragmatic eventration with an intrathoracic ectopic kidney is a very rare disorder with the incidence of 0.25% of all ectopias.Presentation of caseA 16-day-old male presented with chief complaint of respiratory distress. His plain chest X-ray showed intestinal gases in the right diaphragm and elevation of the right diaphragm. Intraoperative findings revealed elevation of the right diaphragmatic dome and visceral displacement, including the ileum, transverse colon, and right lobe of the liver. Subsequently, hemidiaphragm plication was conducted. Two weeks after surgery, the patient suffered from respiratory distress again. Computed tomography (CT) scanning revealed right diaphragmatic elevation and an ectopic kidney inside the right hemithorax. During the second operation, there were no longer elevation of the right diaphragmatic dome nor any other organ displacement. Moreover, we decided to let the intrathoracic kidney remain in place. The outcome was good during the postoperative period and six months after surgery.DiscussionEventration of diaphragm with an intrathoracic ectopic kidney should be considered as a differential diagnosis in neonate patients with respiratory distress accompanied by a thoracic mass.ConclusionCongenital diaphragmatic eventration with an intrathoracic ectopic kidney is a very rare disorder, requiring a personalized surgical repair to achieve a good outcome. CT scanning may help confirm the diagnosis, particularly to define the dome elevation and the intrathoracic organ precisely.

Project description:We investigated factors that affect the surgical outcomes of robotic pyeloplasty by comparing the surgical results of pediatric and adult patients with ureteropelvic junction stricture (UPJO). We retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent robotic pyeloplasty for UPJO between January 2013 and February 2022. The patients were categorized into two groups: the pediatric (≤18 years) and adult (>18 years) groups. The perioperative and postoperative outcomes and surgical complications were comparatively analyzed. Prognostic factors for predicting surgical failure were analyzed with multivariable logistic regression analysis. The pediatric group showed longer total operation and console times. The mean pain score was lower in the pediatric group than in the adult group on days 1 and 2 after surgery. The average amount of morphine used in the pediatric group was lower during postoperative days 0-2. No differences in the length of hospital stay, incidence of surgical failure, and incidence of urolithiasis requiring treatment after robotic pyeloplasty were observed between the groups. The only factor that predicted surgical failure was a history of urolithiasis before surgery. The results showed that age did not affect the surgical outcome.
