Background: the Mitrofanoff appendicovesicostomy provides a catheterizable submucosal tunnel between umbilicus and bladder (or neobladder). In patients with closed neck, channel is only way to access bladder. We describe our case of 17 year-old girl previous surgical closure neck who developed large clot due hematuria after cystolithotomy in an augmented bladder; Methods: unsuccessful trans-app...

We report two cases of acute bladder injury with bladder neck necrosis identified during the initial operative evaluation and within the early postprocedural period in patients with significant pelvic trauma requiring pelvic vascular embolization. To our knowledge, this is the first report of bladder neck necrosis found during the initial intraoperative surgical evaluation or early postoperativ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate sensory changes in the head and neck region associated with selective neck dissection with or without preservation of cervical root branches. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING University tertiary referral hospital and a Veterans Affairs hospital. PATIENTS Fifty-seven patients who had undergone 84 neck dissections with or without preservation of the sensory c...

OBJECTIVE Congenital connective tissue dysfunction may partly be responsible for female pelvic organ prolapse and urinary incontinence. We undertook a heritability study to determine whether mobility of the bladder neck, one of the main determinants of stress urinary incontinence, is genetically influenced. DESIGN Heritability study using a twin model and structural equation modelling. SETT...

S100A2, a member of the S100 protein family, is known to be downregulated in a number of human cancers, leading to its designation as a potential tumor suppressor gene. Here, we investigated the expression and methylation status of S100A2 in head&neck and bladder cancer. Reduced mRNA and protein expression was observed in 8 head&neck and bladder cancer cell lines. To explore the mechanism respo...

Cent Eur J Urol 2013; 66: 487 10.5173/ceju.2013.04.art26 This is an interesting evaluation of a group of extremely complicated patients, who developed non reconstructible bladder outlets either due to injury, trauma or surgical misadventure. In my personal experience, this is one of the most difficult groups of patients to reconstruct and often requires heroic measures to salvage their quality ...

Surgeons have always used their cognitive intuition for the execution of skilled tasks and real-time perception of intra-operative outcomes. We attempted to measure the overall accuracy of intra-operative surgeon perception on the functional outcome of early continence after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). A single experienced surgeon (D.I.L.) used a scoring sheet to prospectively ...

OBJECTIVE The current study investigates the effect of bladder neck (BN) preservation on postoperative continence and positive surgical margins (+SMs). PATIENTS AND METHODS 150 patients (group 1) who underwent BN-sparing endoscopic extraperitoneal radical prostatectomy (EERPE) and 90 patients treated with EERPE and BN resection (group 2) were retrospectively evaluated. RESULTS Both groups w...

To describe a transvaginal approach to vesicocervical fistula repair and techniques that may improve visualization access. Urogenital fistulas are abnormal communications between the urinary reproductive tract. Vesicocervical rare few case reports or series surgical repair. We present of 26-year-old G1P1 who presented with watery vaginal discharge following low transverse cesarean section. She ...
