Vesicovaginal fistula repair without intentional cystotomy using the laparoscopic robotic approach: a case report. (1/10)

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Fistulas inaccessible from the vagina may require abdominal repair; we sought to evaluate the robotic-assisted laparoscopic approach for this procedure. METHODS: A 41-year-old nulliparous woman presented with urinary incontinence following an abdominal hysterectomy, and office evaluation identified a vesicovaginal fistula. After discussion with the patient regarding the surgical options, the robotic approach was chosen to facilitate precise dissection, fine visualization, and suturing. A stent was placed from the bladder into the vagina, and no intentional cystotomy was made. The bladder was dissected away from the anterior vaginal wall at the fistula site, and the defects were closed independently with interposition of a fatty epiploica from the sigmoid colon. Total operative time was approximately 4 hours, and robotic time was about 2.5 hours. RESULTS: At 3 months after surgery, the patient had no recurrent symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: The robotic-assisted laparoscopic approach is a viable option for successful repair of a vesicovaginal fistula in a patient in whom a vaginal approach is not indicated.  (+info)

Long term evaluation of functional and morphological bladder alterations on alloxan-induced diabetes and aging: experimental study in rats. (2/10)

PURPOSE: to evaluate structural and functional effects of Alloxan- induced diabetes and aging on bladder of rats. METHODS: evaluations were performed in three groups: A--8 weeks of age, B--44 weeks of age, C--44 weeks of age with alloxan-induced diabetes. Muscle layer thickness, extracellular matrix fibrosis and collagen were quantified on digital images of bladder samples. Cystometric evaluations before surgical vesical denervation (SVD), included maximum cystometric capacity (MCC), maximum bladder pressure (MBP), bladder contraction frequency (VCF), duration of bladder contraction (DC), threshold pressure (TP) and bladder compliance (BC). After SVD, maximum cystometric capacity (MCC), BC and maximum urethral closing pressure (MUCP) were also measured. RESULTS: Reduced extracellular matrix fibrosis concentration and contraction strength were found in the bladders of group C. Before SVD, bladder compliance was not different between groups. Alterations were observed in MCC after SVD. CONCLUSIONS: We did not notice smooth muscle hypertrophy in Alloxan-induced diabetic rats after 44 weeks. There was alteration in the total and relative amount of fibrosis and collagen. The cystometric studies support the idea that this morphological alterations are important to determine the different bladder functional patterns found in the aging and the Alloxan-induced diabetic animals.  (+info)

Intravesical foreign bodies: review and current management strategies. (3/10)

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to evaluate the cause, diagnosis, and management of intravesical foreign bodies in patients treated at our hospital and to review and update management of intravesical foreign bodies reported in the current literature. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixteen patients had been treated for intravesical foreign bodies at Nishtar Medical College Hospital, Multan, Pakistan during a 5-year period. Records of these patients were analyzed retrospectively for etiology, presentation, diagnosis, and management. RESULTS: The age of the patients ranged from 14 to 70 years and 10 of them were men. Seven patients (43.8%) had iatrogenic intravesical foreign bodies, 5 (31.3%) had migrated foreign bodies from the adjacent organs, and 4 (25.0%) had self-introduced foreign bodies into the bladder. The objects included copper wire, carrot, lead pencil, intrauterine device, surgical gauze, pieces of Foley catheter, and teflon beak of resectoscope sheath. The most common presenting symptoms were urinary frequency and dysuria. Endoscopic retrieval was possible in 8 (50.0%) patients, and the remaining underwent open cystostomy. CONCLUSION: Intravesical foreign bodies should be included in the differential diagnosis of patients with chronic lower urinary tract problems. Radiological evaluation is necessary to determine the exact size, number, and nature of them. The most suitable method for removal of intravesical foreign bodies depends on the nature of the foreign body, age of the patient, and available expertise and equipment. Most intravesical foreign bodies can be retrieved with minimally invasive techniques.  (+info)

Ganglioneuroma in the urinary bladder of a dog. (6/10)

An 11-year-old male Labrador retriever presented with chronic oliguria. Ultrasonography findings revealed a protruding mass at the neck of the urinary bladder. A cystotomy was performed, and the mass was removed by ligation with surgical sutures. Histopathological examination revealed conspicuous foci with a variable number of ganglion cells in the tumor and abundant interwoven bundles of schwannian cells with fine fibers. The ganglion cells were positive for neuron-specific enolase and neurofilament. The schwannian cells were positive for vimentin, S-100 protein, and glial fibrillary acidic protein. Thus, according to the classification of tumor with neuronal cell differentiation, the urinary tumor was diagnosed as a ganglioneuroma.  (+info)

Unusual presentation of the urogenital myiasis caused by Luciliasericata (Diptera: Calliphoridae). (8/10)

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: The case report describes the unusual presentation of the urogenital myiasis caused by Luciliasericata in two Slovakian men. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The first patient, aged 66, who suffered from a locally advanced and inoperable urinary bladder dedifferentiated TCC with bilateral ureteral obstruction, chronic renal insufficiency and non-functioning left kidney. After surgical exploration the patient developed a malignant vesico-intestino-cutaneous fistula with stool leakage through the open wound. Because of very poor hygiene, and unsatisfactory attendance by staff, a fly deposited ova in the patient's necrotic wound. The patient died three months later of metastatic cancer disease. The second patient, a 43-year old homeless alcoholic male had gangrene of the scrotum and penis, urethro-cutaneous urinary fistula with numerous live and motile larvae on the surfaces. In both patients, some larvae were removed and sent to the lab for identification. The larvae were identified as maggots of the fly Luciliasericata. Antibiotic therapy, disinfection and debridement with sterile covering of the wound were used. RESULTS: For both patients, complex treatment of myiasis was successful and patient recovered without parasitic consequences. CONCLUSIONS: To our knowledge, this is the first report of the unusual presentation of the urogenital myiasis in Slovakian men with poor social habits and hygiene.  (+info)

Cystotomy is a surgical procedure that involves making an incision into the urinary bladder. This type of surgery may be performed for various reasons, such as to remove bladder stones, to take a biopsy of the bladder tissue, or to repair damage to the bladder.

During a cystotomy, a veterinarian or surgeon makes an incision in the bladder and then carefully inspects the interior of the organ. Any abnormalities, such as bladder stones or tumors, can be removed during the procedure. The incision is then closed with sutures or staples.

Cystotomy is typically performed under general anesthesia, and patients will need to recover in a veterinary hospital or surgical center for several days following the procedure. During recovery, they may require pain medication and antibiotics to prevent infection. It's important to follow all post-operative instructions carefully to ensure proper healing.

Urinary bladder calculi, also known as bladder stones, refer to the formation of solid mineral deposits within the urinary bladder. These calculi develop when urine becomes concentrated, allowing minerals to crystallize and stick together, forming a stone. Bladder stones can vary in size, ranging from tiny sand-like particles to larger ones that can occupy a significant portion of the bladder's volume.

Bladder stones typically form as a result of underlying urinary tract issues, such as bladder infection, enlarged prostate, nerve damage, or urinary retention. Symptoms may include lower abdominal pain, difficulty urinating, frequent urination, blood in the urine, and sudden, strong urges to urinate. If left untreated, bladder stones can lead to complications like urinary tract infections and kidney damage. Treatment usually involves surgical removal of the stones or using other minimally invasive procedures to break them up and remove the fragments.

Veterinary surgery refers to the surgical procedures performed on animals by trained veterinarians or veterinary surgeons. It involves the use of various surgical techniques and tools to diagnose, treat, or prevent diseases and injuries in animals. This can include soft tissue surgeries such as abdominal or thoracic surgeries, orthopedic surgeries for bone and joint issues, neurological surgeries, oncological surgeries for the removal of tumors, and reconstructive surgeries. Veterinary surgeons must complete extensive education and training in order to provide safe and effective surgical care for animals.
