Experiência do Hospital Haroldo Juaçaba com reconstrução utilizando retalhos miocutâneos em cirurgia para tratamentodo câncer de pênis locorregionalmente avançado / Experience of Reconstruction Using Myocutaneous Flaps in Surgery for Penile Cancer locoregionally Advanced Treatment at Haroldo Juaçaba Hospital / Miocutáneos em Cirugía para Tratamiento del Cáncer de Pene loco regionalmente Avanzado

Introdução: O Brasil é um país que apresenta uma alta incidência em câncer de pênis. Geralmente o diagnósticodessa afecção é feito no curso inicial da doença, porém 1/3 dos pacientes se apresentam com doença local ou regionalavançada. Em casos onde ocorrem ressecções extensas com grande perda de substância, pode ser necessária a utilização de retalhos músculo cutâneos. Objetivo: Identificar quais os tipos de retalhos mais utilizados e as principais complicações na reconstrução de defeitos complexos pós-cirurgia para câncer de pênis locorregionalmente avançado em um centro de referência brasileiro. Método: Estudo retrospectivo, observacional e descritivo. População de 243 pacientes atendidos com diagnóstico de câncer de pênis no Hospital Haroldo Juaçaba, entre janeiro de 2000 e setembro de 2010. Amostrade 35 pacientes que necessitaram de reconstrução com retalho muscular. Resultados: O retalho utilizando o músculo reto abdominal foi o mais usado (57,2%), seguido pelo fáscia lata (31,4%) e grácilis (11,4%). As complicações precoces mais comuns foram infecção de sítio cirúrgico (37,1%) e deiscência parcial do retalho (37,1%). As complicações tardiasmais comuns foram linfedema crônico (32,3%) e edema de bolsa escrotal (29,4%). Conclusão: O retalho miocutâneo do músculo reto abdominal foi o mais utilizado e mostrou-se seguro. Essa e as demais técnicas utilizadas resultaram em expressivas taxas de morbidade, porém sem comprometer a viabilidade do retalho

Complications rates of non-oncologic urologic procedures in population-based data: a comparison to published series

PUSPOSE: Published single institutional case series are often performed by one or more surgeons with considerable expertise in specific procedures. The reported incidence of complications in these series may not accurately reflect community-based practice. We sought to compare complication and mortality rates following urologic procedures derived from population-based data to those of published single-institutional case series. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In-hospital mortality and complications of common urologic procedures (percutaneous nephrostomy, ureteropelvic junction obstruction repair, ureteroneocystostomy, urethral repair, artificial urethral sphincter implantation, urethral suspension, transurethral resection of the prostate, and penile prosthesis implantation) reported in the U.S.’s National Inpatient Sample of the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project were identified. Rates were then compared to those of published single-institution series using statistical analysis. RESULTS: For 7 of the 8 procedures examined, there was no significant difference in rates of complication or mortality between published studies and our population-based data. However, for percutaneous nephrostomy, two published single-center series had significantly lower mortality rates (p < 0.001). The overall rate of complications in the population-based data was higher than published single or select multi-institutional data for percutaneous nephrostomy performed for urinary obstruction (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: If one assumes that administrative data does not suffer from under reporting of complications then for some common urological procedures, complication rates between population-based data and published case series seem comparable. Endorsement of mandatory collection of clinical outcomes is likely the best way to appropriately counsel patients about the risks of these common urologic procedures.

A Moditied Island Flap Technique For Repair of Severe Hypospadias / 中国医师杂志

Objective To present a moified technique of island flap (Duckett+Perovic's method)for repair of severe hypospadias.Methods Between January 1996 and May 2002,26 cases of severe hypospadias were repairs using Perovic's method in a lonely or using Duckett's method plus Perovic's method.In all patients,we employed island flaps in one stage.Suprapubic diversion was used for drainage,and 10F or 12F tube was inserted to the proximal end of new urethra.Ceftriaxone was used after the operation on all of patients for one week.Urethral tubes were removed at 6 or 8 days postoperation and the suprapubic tubes at 10 or 12 days postoperation.Results One stage healing was successfully achieved in 23 patients.Three patients suffered from fistula,of them were healed through re-operation at six months later.After the operation,normal function was recovered and perfect appearance was achieved.Conclusion The result of repair turned out to be satisfactory and we believe that the technique is a good alternative for severe hypospadias.
