Indication and characteristics of lapasoscopy tranperitoneal ureterolithotomy

Background: Most abdominal surgery can be done by laparoscopic method. For urologic surgery, laparoscopic surgery is used to cut the kidney, prostate, seminal vesicles and get urinary stones, including the ureter stones.\r\n', u'Objectives: Contribute to improving treatment effects ureter stones by lapasoscopy tranperitoneal ureterolithotomy\r\n', u'Subjects and method: Laparoscopic transperitoneal ureterolithotomy was attempted in 90 patients (50 men and 34 women) with an age range of 22 \ufffd?75 years (mean 43.60+ 11.97 years). Learn characteristics of ureteral calculi (X-ray, ultrasound, urinary map vein) and surgical methods.\r\n', u'Results:The results showed that: Most ureterolith at L3 vertebral level (55.6%) and L4 (40.0%). The stone size ranged from 8 to 22mm (mean 13.87+ 3.25mm) and an average width 4 to 12mm (mean 6.96 + 1.82mm). Most cases of ureteral calculi with the situation fluid in the kidney level 2 (76.7%). The stone has impacted in the upper and mid ureter. Two 10-mm and one 5mm trocars were used. Most cases of stage 2 nasal. The mean operative time was 57.22 + 15.51 minutes (30-90 minutes). \r\n', u'Conclusion: The authors conclude that laparoscopic ureterolithotomy by the transperitoneal approach is a safe and reliable minimally invasive procedure. For large, hard, long-standing and impacted ureteric calculi, one laparoscopicureterolithotomy is an initial therapy\r\n', u'

Treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy by endoscopic surgery in Viet Tiep hospital

The authors report a retrospective study of 212 resections for benign prostatic hypertrophy during 3 years (1998-2000), yielding a mean weight of 30 grams. The mortality rate was 0%. There was only one abundant bleeding case (0.4%). There were 5 cases of dysuria (2.3%) and 2 cases (0.9%) of incontinence. The experience of surgeons and the improvements in equipment appeared to be two essential factors of the primary results of endoscopic resection for benign prostatic hypertrophy at Viet Tiep hospital.
