To describe patient characteristics and outcomes after duodenal repair during postchemotherapy retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (PC-RPLND) and to identify treatment and management patterns.The Indiana University Testis Cancer database was used to identify all patients who underwent simultaneous partial duodenectomy and PC-RPLND from 1983 to 2013. Patient records were reviewed to describe patient...
To evaluate our experience in patients undergoing hybrid transvaginal natural orifices transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) nephrectomy and evaluate the sexual functions in the postoperative period.Prospective data of 71 patients with renal tumors who underwent hybrid NOTES radical nephrectomy in three different centers were collected from March 2010 to October 2015. Patient and surgical characteristics...
To describe the spectrum of adult presentations with hypospadias-related complications and examine the effect of childhood surgical repair on these adult presentations.A retrospective chart review over a 10-year period, from August 2004 to December 2014, demonstrated 93 adult patients who presented to a reconstructive urologist with complications related to hypospadias. Patients were divided into...
We describe the case of a 64-year-old patient with a deep venous thrombosis unusually caused by the obstruction of a severely distended atonic bladder as a result of an iatrogenic injury. Distention of the urinary bladder has previously been described to elevate pressure in the iliac veins, but has seldom been linked to the development of deep venous thrombosis. Through this case, we want to attract...
To determine the relationship between bone pain and bone metastases in newly diagnosed prostate cancer.This prospective study of bone scintigraphy enrolled 567 consecutive patients with newly diagnosed prostate cancer. The presence of all-cause bone pain, known benign bone disease, and unexplained bone pain (ie, not related to known benign bone disease) was derived from a patient questionnaire. Univariate...
To compare the effects of intraepididymal quercetin (IE-QE) with those of intraperitoneal quercetin (IP-QE) on testicular torsion/detorsion (TD)-induced ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury of the testes in an experimental rat model.Twenty-four rats were divided into 4 groups: sham (S), TD, TD treated with IP-QE, and TD treated with IE-QE. The IP-QE group received 20 mg/kg QE intraperitoneally, whereas...
We describe the imaging findings of a case of an intra-abdominal gossypiboma (retained surgical sponge) in an asymptomatic 61-year-old man who underwent an emergency nephrectomy because of a Wunderlich syndrome secondary to a renal cell carcinoma. A follow-up computed tomography was performed 4 months after the emergency surgery and showed an extraperitoneal lesion with gas bubbles and radiopaque...
A 71-year-old female presented with a large, protuberant abdominal mass, and was found to have both a left renal mass and a biopsy-proven neuroendocrine tumor of the ileocecal valve. Ultimately, right hemicolectomy revealed a well-differentiated and low-grade neuroendocrine tumor of the ileocecal valve, whereas left radical nephrectomy revealed a 23 cm × 22 cm × 15 cm renal cell carcinoma, chromophobe-type...
To determine the association between sleep quality and severity of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in men working nonstandard shifts, a population at risk of poor sleep quality.Men who presented to a single andrology clinic between July and October 2014 and worked nonstandard shifts completed the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and responded to questions regarding their work habits,...
To study brushite stone formers (BSFs) change in renal function and overall risk of progression to chronic kidney disease (CKD) over time.A retrospective review of all patients with urolithiasis on stone analysis was performed from 1995 to 2003. Stones were classified as brushite if they had at least 10% brushite composition on analysis. Patients with a minimum of 6 years of clinical follow-up were...
To determine the extent to which validated techniques for behavior change have been infused in commercially available fluid consumption applications (apps).Coders evaluated behavior change techniques represented in online descriptions for 50 fluid consumption apps and the latest version of each app.Apps incorporated a limited range of behavior change techniques (<20% of taxonomy). The number of...
Most of the developmental anomalies of inferior vena cava are asymptomatic. The retrocaval and retroiliac ureter, however, commonly present with symptoms due to ureteric obstruction. We present interesting computed tomography images of a 30-year-old male who was symptomatic for right upper ureteric obstruction and the ureter was coursing between the 2 common iliac veins that were uniting abnormally...
To asses and quantify the learning curve (LC) of the penoscrotal inversion flap vaginoplasty (PSV).We retrospectively reviewed clinical records of 69 patients who underwent PSV from January 2005 to January 2015. Two validated methods were used: a scatterplot representation and a splitting group. We selected as primary outcomes the operative time and vaginal depth. Surgical outcomes including blood...
To investigate patient perception of ejaculatory volume reduction after Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP).A total of 192 patients were included in the analysis. All patients completed 6 self-developed, nonvalidated questionnaires. The questionnaires were composed of questions involving overall satisfaction, voiding symptom change, current experience of sexual intercourse, ejaculatory...
To evaluate the safety and feasibility of single and serial instillations of MitoGel into the upper urinary tract using a preclinical swine animal model. MitoGel is a novel sustained release formulation of mitomycin C (MMC) based on RTGel, a proprietary thermosensitive hydrogel technology. MitoGel is liquid at cold temperatures and solidifies to gel state at body temperature. It is intended as a treatment...
