To investigate the accuracy of micturitional urethral pressure profilometry (MUPP) for diagnosis, grading, and localization of bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) in men with obstructive lower urinary tract symptoms.This prospective study included adult men with voiding symptoms qualifying for urodynamics (UDS). Patients with urethral stricture, urinary-tract infection, and inflammatory diseases of the...
To determine the safety and efficacy of silodosin in the management of acute urinary retention (AUR) related to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).From January 2011 to May 2012, 60 men over 50 years of age with AUR were equally randomized to either silodosin 8 mg once daily or placebo for 3 days followed by trial without catheter (TWOC). If the patient re-experienced urinary retention or if postvoid...
To present our simplified technical modification of double-T continent cutaneous diversion (CCD) using Yang-Monti tubes. During 2008–2011, 8 adult patients underwent CCD; 4 had classical exstrophy, 2 bladder cancer, 1 recurrent vaginal cancer post-radiotherapy, and 1 prostate cancer with post-simple retropubic prostatectomy urethral stricture with incontinence. For reconstruction, a 45- to 50-cm...
A middle-age man presented with acute urinary retention and a history of passage of urine and stones through a fistula at the root of the penis of 7 years' duration. Computed tomography of the soft tissue penis revealed multiple calculi in the urethra. After an initial suprapubic cystostomy, he underwent Johanson's Stage I urethroplasty with excision of the fistulous tract and retrieval of the urethral...
End-to-end anastomotic urethroplasty (EEA) for traumatic bulbar urethral stricture has excellent long-term success rate. We encountered a patient with obliterative bulbar stricture and persistent phlegmon in perineum resulting from straddle injury. Phlegmon-excision and EEA was performed, which ended up in recurrence. Thorough excision of recurrent nodules & scar with stage-I urethroplasty was...
To evaluate the association between diabetic cystopathy (DC) and neuropathy (autonomic and peripheral) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) presenting with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).Men with DM who presented with bothersome LUTS were enrolled from January 2008 to June 2009. Their demographic and clinical profiles were noted. Multichannel urodynamic studies were performed using the Solar...
To evaluate the role of nitrofurantoin (NFT) prophylaxis in a prospective randomized control study. Urosepsis is an important complication after percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL). Risk increases by around 4 times with larger stones and hydronephrosis (HDN).Patients with stones ≥2.5 cm and/or HDN and sterile urine undergoing PNL were randomized into 2 groups. Standard perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis...
We present the first clinical report of Surgicel granuloma after laparoscopic nephron-sparing surgery and present the characteristics of this radiological image mimicking local recurrence. A 47-year-old man underwent laparoscopic nephron-sparing surgery for left renal interpolar incidentaloma; Surgicel bolsters were used for hemostasis. Histological examination revealed conventional clear-cell renal...
To present our initial results of a novel technique of intracorporeal laparoscopic tailoring of megaureter (MGU) and nonrefluxing reimplantation.Three young male patients presented with flank pain (3) and recurrent urinary tract infection (2). Investigations revealed refluxing MGU in 2 and obstructing MGU in 1. Laparoscopic tailoring and reimplantation was planned. Ureteral mobilization was carried...
To investigate the role of tamsulosin as an adjunct to management of upper ureteric stones (UUS) with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (SWL).In this prospective, randomized, open label study, patients with single UUS (for SWL) were randomly assigned into 2 groups based on whether they received 0.4 mg tamsulosin (group A and B, respectively) during treatment. Repeat SWL was performed at week 1,...
To evaluate the role of tamsulosin in the clearance of fragments after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) to treat renal calculi.In this open-label prospective randomized study conducted at our institute from 2006 to 2007, 139 patients with normal renal function and a single radiopaque renal calculus, 5-20 mm, undergoing ESWL were enrolled. All patients underwent ESWL every 3 weeks until...
Double inferior vena cava is a rare congenital anomaly. Recognition of such venous anomalies is important in the evaluation and surgical treatment of retroperitoneal disease. Newer radiological modalities such as three-dimensional reconstruction of spiral computed tomography help to define such anomalies and avoid significant morbidity during surgical exploration. We present a case of renal cell carcinoma...
Reconstructive surgery for salvage of giant hydronephrosis is associated with unique challenges. We introduce the surgical technique of laparoscopic ureterocalicostomy for giant hydronephrosis. A transperitoneal five-port access was created and, after reflecting the colon, the lower pole of the hydronephrotic sac was excised. A wide, spatulated end-to-end ureterocaliceal anastomosis was performed...
