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 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...

INTRODUCTION Pelvic fractures represent approximately 3% of all skeletal injuries. About 15% of patients with pelvic fractures have associated bladder or urethral injuries. The most common causes of pelvic fracture are motor vehicle accidents, motorcycle crashes, motor vehicles striking pedestrians, and falls. MATERIAL AND METHODS Retrospective study included the patients treated in the Emerg...

Radical prostatectomy is a common treatment for patients with prostate cancer [1]. The current surgical technique for radical prostatectomies requires dividing the urethra from the bladder in order to aid the removal of the prostate [2]. At the end of a prostatectomy, the urethra is reconnected to the bladder in a procedure known as urethrovesical anastomosis (UVA) involving suturing the urethr...

Background: Bladder exstrophy is a rare congenital malformation of the genitourinary system, with an estimated incidence approximately 1 per 50,000 live births. Clinically, patients do not have capacity to accumulate urine and continously leak. We present patient partial storing from dialated distal ureters. A case ureters 8-year-old female ectopic vesicae described. The act as reservoir where ...

Figure: Axial (A) and sagittal 2-dimensional reconstruction (B) computed tomography scans. A 28-year-old man presented to a level 1 trauma center with significant cervical spine pain after sliding into third base during a softball game. He struck his head on the thigh of the defensive player and had immediate pain in his neck and arm. He reported no loss of consciousness, no transient tetrapleg...

Since the introduction of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RALP), robotics has become increasingly more commonplace in the armamentarium of the urologic surgeon. Robotic utilization has exploded across surgical disciplines well beyond the fields of urology and prostate surgery. The literature detailing technical steps, comparison of large surgical series, and even robotically focused rando...
