RESUMO
【Objective】 To explore the feasibility of en-bloc resection of bladder tumors by flexible cystoscope combined with laparoscopic instruments through urethra and to provide reference for the clinical application of this technique. 【Methods】 Self-designed and processed transurethral single-hole PORT and Olympus electronic cystoscope were used as observation mirror; Φ1.8 mm soft grasper, tissue scissors, electric hook, and ultrasonic scalpel were used as instruments; the porcine bladder was used as a model.The PORT was placed through the urethra, and the cystoscope was inserted to observe the inner wall of the bladder and the condition of the mucosa.After the lesion site was identified in the bladder cavity, the soft grasper was inserted to pull the mucosa to be removed, which was then fixed with tension at the target position to maintain a satisfactory feild of view.The surgeon held the cystoscope in the left hand, and operated the laparoscopic instruments into the bladder cavity through the PORT with the right hand.Observing with the cystoscope and lifting and pulling the mucosa with the grasper, the surgeon simulated the cutting and pushing actions to realize the en-bloc resection of the lesioned mucosa. 【Results】 The mucosa at 4 different locations were successfully resected on 2 in vitro porcine bladder models. 【Conclusion】 The in vitro experiments show that the combination of flexible electronic cystoscope and laparoscopic instruments achieves synergistic effects in en-bloc resection of bladder tumor by transurethral single-hole laparoscope without additional iatrogenic bladder injury caused by percutaneous bladder incision.This method is feasible in the treatment of bladder tumors, and has the potential of clinical application after further optimization.
RESUMO
Objective:To explore the clinical outcome of early endoscopic realignment with flexible cystoscope for pelvic fracture urethral injury.Methods:We retrospectively collected and analyzed the clinical data of patients with pelvic fracture urethral injuries in ER of Beijing Jishuitan Hospital from March 2018 to June 2022.Seventy-six male patients with PFUI were reviewed and 60 patients were included due to the integrity of data collected. The patients were divided into early endoscopic realignment (EER) group and suprapubic cystostomy (SC) group according to the acute management. There were 33 patients and 27 patients in EER group and SC group, respectively. The age of the patients were (42.2±13.8)years and (44.1±15.0) years in EER group and SC group, respectively. The causes of the injuries were car accident, falling and crush, the percentage of the patients were 60.6%(20 cases), 33.3%(11 cases), 6.1%(2 cases) and 55.6%(15 cases), 44.4%(12 cases), 0 in EER group and SC group, respectively. The difference between two groups was statistically insignificant. The procedure of EER began with a cystostomy guided by B ultrasound, then an antegrade cystoscopy was performed through the cystostomy while negociating the bladder neck to the proximal side of injured urethra. A ureteral stent was inserted into the broken urethra and retrieved by a forceps through retrograde urethroscopy with another flexible cystoscope. We inserted a guidewire into the ureteral stent before removing it and placed a 16F urethral catheter along the guidewire. We analyzed the difference between two groups including the incidence, the length and the management of urethral stricture and the complexity of urethroplasty if needed. The simple urethroplasty was defined as performing anastomosis after dissection of the bulbar urethral and removing the scar tissue, while the procedure was defined as complex urethroplasty if ancillary procedures, such as separating the corporal bodies and partial pubectomy, was needed.Results:The EER group and SC group had 33 patients and 27 patients, respectively. The mean operation time of EER was (24.5±7.0)minutes and there was no intra-operative complications. Postoperatively, 4 cases of bleeding and 2 cases of UTI were found, which were successfully treated by conservative managements. Twenty-eight out of 33 patients(84.8%) in EER group developed urethral stricture and the mean length of it was (3.10±1.20)cm. However, all patients in SC group developed urethral stricture (100.0%) with the mean stricture length of (3.83±1.18)cm. The difference between two groups in term of the length of stricture was statistically significant ( P=0.026). 24 patients(85.7%) in EER group were treated by urethroplsty, 2 patients(7.1%) with endoscopic urethrotomy and 2 patients (7.1%) with dilation. All were treated with urethroplasty but 2 patients with endoscopic in SC group. In EER group, 8 strictures (33.3%)finished with simple urethroplasty and 16 strictures (66.7%) with complex urethroplasty.While in SC group, 6 strictures(24.0%) completed with simple urethroplasty and 19 strictures (76.0%)with complex urethroplasty. The complexity of urethroplasty performed in EER group was not statistically significant when compared with it in SC group( P=0.538). Conclusions:The procedure of EER with flexible cystoscope is reliable and safe. Most patients with formed urethral stricture after PFUI would be treated with urethroplasty. EER can reduce the urethral stricture formation and may decrease the need of the ancillary procedures during the urethroplasties if needed.

Objective To evaluate the clnical value of percutaneous nephrolithotomy combined with flexible cystoscope in the treatment of complicated renal calculi.Methods Data of 53 cases of complex renal calculi treated with single channel percutaneous nephrolithotomy combined with flexible cystoscope from July 2011 to September 2013 were analyzed retrospectively.There were 31 males and 22 females.Their age ranged from 26 to 74 years with a mean age of 49 years.Thirty-two cases were located on the left side,19 cases right,2 cases bilateral,21 cases of staghorn calculi and 32 cases of multiple stones.All the stones were filled in 2 or more calyces,with 7 cases in upper ureteral stones at the same time and 2 cases in solitary kidney.The longest diameter of stones was between 2.5 cm to 4.6 cm,with an average of 3.7 cm.There were 39 cases with hydronephrosis and the separation of the collection system was 2.0-5.1 cm with an average of 3.8cm.The period which patients suffered from stones was from 1 month to 6 years.Fourteen cases underwent ESWL and 6 cases underwent open operation before percutaneous nephrolithotomy.All patients underwent single channel percutaneous nephrolithotomy under the guidance of color Doppler ultrasound,and the channel of puncture was expanded to 24 F.Results Fifty-three cases (55 sides) were performed successfully in one-stage sugery and the operation time was between 85 to 170 min,with an average of 119 min.Thestone clearance rate was 89％ (49/55) and postoperative hemoglobin decreased 3.9-9.2 g/L with an average of 6.1 g/L.The hospitalization time was 8 to 12 days with an average of 9.2 days.Two cases had hemorrhage of about 500 ml after surgery and the renal hemorrhage stopped after clamping of renal fistula without blood transfusion.Two patients suffered from fever on surgery day and 1 patient on one day after surgery,and the body temperature returned to normal level after anti-infection treatment for 2 or 3 days.No renal perforation,fluid pneumothorax or damaged surrounding organs occurred.6 patients had residual stones,among which 2 were treated by two-stage operation and 4 were treated with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy.Conclusion Percutaneous nephrolithotomy combined with flexible cystoscope has little trauma and high stone clearance rate in the treatment of complex renal calculi with high clinical value.
RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a novel continuous irrigation sheath for flexible cystoscope in improving the vision and patient compliance of flexible cystoscopy under hematuria. Methods A total of 32 male patients, who received flexible cystoscopy for hematuria in our hospital, were evenly randomized into two groups. Patients in group A received flexible cystoscopy with the help of the novel continuous irrigation sheath; while patients in group B received traditional flexible cystoscopy. The vision score of flexible cystoscopy and visual analog pain score were recorded in the two groups. Results The flexible cystoscopy was smoothly conducted in the two groups. The operation time in group A was significantly shorter than that ingroup B ([7.50 ± 1.59] min vs [9.81 ± 2.56] min, P0.05). Conclusion The novel continuous irrigation sheath can effectively improve the vision of flexible cystoscopy without increasing discomfort to patients.
RESUMO
Objective To access the feasibility of ueing "flexible Uitrasonic cystoscopy (FUCS)" (Uitrasonic bronchoscope Olympus BF-UC260F-OL8 as a subslitute) for staging of bladder cancet Methods From Jun 2010 to Nov. 2010,36 patierrts with piiimary bladder urotheiial carcinoma were examined by "FUCS" before operation and were rttaged by "FUCS" findings. All patients rectived IVP and enhanced pdvc CT Non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer patierrts rem-ved TURBT, and the tumor base was routinely bopied for pathology Pathological results, traditional imaging eraliiaiton, and "FUCS" evaluation were compared. Visual analog scores (VAS) were also compared between patierrts reccing "FUCS" and rcmime cystoscopy. Results Compared with conventional cyrtoscopy, the VAS of patients receiving intraoperative "FUCS" was significantly tower (1 3 ± 0. 5 vs 4. 3 ± 0. 9, P<0. 01). Of the 36 patierrts, 28 were diagrosed as non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (Ta + T1) and 8 were diagrosed as muscle-invasive bladder career (T2 + T3). Based on the postoperative pathologic results, "FUCS" had a 100% accuracy in diagnoeing norem Uselelinvaeive and muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Conclution "FUCS" is painless and feasible in clinical practice; it can display the depth of bladder wall invaded by tumor, and can be used for preoperative staging of primary bladder tumor.
RESUMO
Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of flexible cystoscope conducted holmium laser lithotripsy via percutaneous nephrostomy in the treatment of upper urinary tract calculi.Methods The flexible cystoscope conducted holmium laser lithotripsy via percutaneous nephrostomy was performed on 26 patients from Jul 2005 to Jan 2007. Among these patients, 8 had bilateral renal calculi and ureteral calculi, 5 had multiple renal calculi, 4 had renal calyx calculi and 9 had ureteral calculi. The average diameter of the calculus was 2.2 cm (range from 1.0-3.2 cm). Four patients had mild hydronephrosis, others had moderate or severe hydronephrosis. Insufficient renal function was noted in 13 cases. The procedure was performed via a single tract through the middle calyx under the ultrasonic guidance in all cases.Results Twenty-two cases achieved stone free at primary procedure, secondary procedure was needed in 4 cases. A 18 F tract was used in 18 cases and 24 F tract was used in the left 8 cases. The average operation time was 72 min, stone-free rate was 96.2%(25/26),and there was no blood transfusion. One patient had fever after the procedure and recovered 2 days after the administration of antibiotics. No other complication was recorded. In an average 11 month follow-up in 22 patients, hydronephrosis reduction was significant observed by ultrasound scan. No calculus relapse was found.Conclusions Flexible cystoscope conducted holmium laser lithotripsy via percutaneous nephrostomy is an effective and minimally invasive technique for the treatment of upper urinary tract calculus. It has the advantages in dealing with the calyx and ureteral calculus located in the proximal or middle segment as well.
