RESUMO
Localized ureteral amyloidosis is a rare disease clinically and radiographically similar to ureteral carcinoma. We reported a 56-year-old man with painless gross hematuria. CT and Magnetic resonance urography (MRU) examinations showed tumor signs and ureteral amyloidosis was diagnosed by ureteral biopsy. Laparoscopic partial ureterectomy combined with boari flap was performed and the patient's renal function was preserved. There was no local recurrence and distant metastasis during the 1-year follow-up.
RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of robotic-assisted laparoscopic Boari flap ureteroplasty for ureteral strictures after kidney transplantation.Methods The clinical data of 2 patients with ureteral stricture after kidney transplantation in our department from May 2017 to September 2017 were retrospectively analyzed.All 2 cases were male.Case 1 was 73 years old and the transplanted kidney was located in the left iliac fossa.The patient was hospitalized due to still recurrent fever with longterm retention of nephrostomy tube because of hydronephrosis with repeated urinary tract infection after calculi surgery.Case 2 was 62 years old and the transplanted kidney was located in the right iliac fossa.The patient was hospitalized due to hydronephrosis and ureteral calculi after calculi surgery.All 2 cases were treated by robotic-assisted laparoscopic Boari flap ureteroplasty.The operative and postoperative complications were recorded and the postoperative examination data were collected.Results The operation time of the 2 cases were 165min and 189min,and the bleeding amount were 50ml and 100ml respectively.No urinary leakage,renal colic,high fever and other complications occurred.In case 1,nephrostomy tube was removed 8d after operation.The urinary catheters were removed 14d after operation in the 2 cases.The postoperative hospital day was 9d and 6d respectively.CT examination was performed 3 months after surgery.Compared with preoperative,case 1 had no significant change in hydronephrosis and the hydronephrosis of case 2 obviously relieved.In case 1,double J tube was removed in 3 months after operation.In case 2,double J tube was replaced in 3 months after operation and was removed after 3 months.2 patients were followed up to 18 months and 14 months after operation,respectively.Nohydronephrosis aggravated.Conclusions Robotic-assisted laparoscopic Boari flap ureteroplasty is a safe and effective treatment for ureteral strictures after kidney transplantation.It has the advantages of small trauma,quick recovery,exact effect and few complications.
RESUMO
Objective: To report a case of distal ureterectomy with robotic-assisted laparoscopic reimplantation using a Boari flap technique. Material and Methods: We report a 55 year old man with a diagnosis of distal ureteral urothelial carcinoma without multifocality. Results: A radical distal ureterectomy and robotic-assisted laparoscopic vesicoureteral reimplantation using a Boari flap technique was performed with the da Vinci S-HD surgical system. The operative time was 210 minutes, the estimated blood loss was 200 mL. The hospital stay was 48 hours, without perioperative complications. The histopathological study showed a high grade non-muscle invasive urothelial carcinoma of the distal ureter (pT1NxMx) with negative margins. Conclusions: The distal radical ureterectomy with Boari replacement is feasible and more precise with robotic assistance. Its oncological role must be demostrated with a larger number of cases.
Objetivo: Comunicar un caso de tumor ureteral distal tratado con ureterectomía radical y neoimplante vesicoureteral con técnica de Flap Boari asistida por robot. Material y Métodos: Paciente hombre de 55 años, con diagnóstico de carcinoma urotelial de uréter distal sin compromiso multifocal. Resultados: Se realizó ureterectomía distal radical y neoimplante vesicoureteral con Flap Boari asistido por Robot da Vinci S-HD. El tiempo operatorio fue de 210 minutos, con un sangrado estimado de 200 ml. La estadía hospitalaria fue de 48 horas, sin complicaciones perioperatorias. El estudio histológico mostró un carcinoma urotelial de alto grado con infiltración de la lámina propia (pT1NxMx) y márgenes quirúrgicos negativos. Conclusiones: La ureterectomía radical distal con reconstrucción tipo Boari es técnicamente factible y más precisa con la asistencia robótica. Su rol oncológico requiere de validación con mayor número de casos.
