ABSTRACT
Laparoscopic cutaneous ureterostomy is an alternative to definitive percutaneous nephrostomy for patients with pelvic malignancies. The surgical technique was initially described by lumbar laparoscopy, requiring a change of position in the case of a bilateral procedure. The authors describe a laparoscopic technique allowing bilateral cutaneous ureterostomy to be performed without a change of position.

Most seminal vesicle cysts have an embryological origin and are often associated with homolateral renal agenesis. The diagnosis of seminal vesicle cyst has been greatly improved by progress in medical imaging, particularly ultrasound, which reveals a retrovesical cystic image and homolateral renal agenesis. Transperineal or laparoscopic vesiculectomy is technically difficult and is associated with high morbidity. The authors report a case of laparoscopic vesiculectomy with an uneventful postoperative course.

Von Recklinghausen disease usually involves the large vessels. Involvement of the pelvic vessels has not been previously reported in the literature. The authors report the case of a man presenting with acute pelvic pain secondary to rupture of an aneurysm of the internal obturator artery, in a context of Von Recklinghausen disease.
