ABSTRACT

Objetivo: determinar por primera vez la prevalencia de síntomas urinarios e incontinencia urinaria y su repercusión sobre la calidad de vida y la actividad profesional de una muestra de mujeres militares. Material y Métodos: Se administró a una muestra de 50 mujeres militares profesionales, de edad media: 25,9 años, (intervalo entre 18 y 33 años), destinadas en la BA de Torrejón, la versión española del cuestionario de puntuación por síntomas urinarios «King Health Questionnaire». Resultados: El síntoma urinario más frecuente fue la frecuencia miccional aumentada (o polaquiuria), referido por el 60% de las encuestadas, seguido de la nicturia, presente en un 48% de las mujeres de la muestra. Un 30% de las encuestadas no refirieron ningún tipo de alteración urinaria, y un 28% infecciones urinarias. La incontinencia urinaria en sus diversos tipos, presente en un 28% de los casos. La incontinencia de esfuerzo estuvo presente en el 24% y la urgencia incontinencia en el 20%. Un 23 % de las encuestadas refirieron que los síntomas urinarios afectaban a su vida general y un 11% a su actividad física. La frecuencia miccional fue la que mostró más diferencias significativas respecto a la repercusión sobre la calidad de vida, seguida de la incontinencia de esfuerzo, urgencia-incontinencia e infección urinaria. Conclusiones: a pesar de la baja repercusión sobre su calidad de vida y desarrollo de sus actividades profesionales de los síntomas urinarios, se observa una alta prevalencia de síntomas urinarios e incontinencia urinaria en la muestra de mujeres estudiada, a pesar de tratarse de una población joven y con buen estado de salud (AU)


Objective: to determine for the first time the prevalence of urinary symptoms and urinary incontinence and their impact on the quality of life and professional activity of a sample of military women. Material and Methods: the Spanish version of the “King’s Health Questionnaire” for urinary symptoms was administered to a sample of 50 military women, average age 25.9 years (interval between 18 and 33 years) in the Torrejón Air Force Base. Results: the most common urinary symptom was the increased urinary frequency, indicated by 60 % of the interviewed subjects, followed by nocturia, present in 48 % of the sample. No urinary alteration was reported by 30 % of the subjects and 28 % reported urinary infections. Urinary incontinence in its different presentations was present in 28 % of the cases. Effort related incontinence was present in 24 % and urge incontinence in 20%. Among the interviewed personnel 23 % reported that the urinary symptoms had an impact on their life quality and 11 % on their physical activity. Urinary frequency was the parameter that showed the most significant differences on the quality of life, followed by the effort-related incontinence, urge incontinence and urinary infection. Conclusions: In spite of the low repercussion of the urinary symptoms on their life quality and professional activities, a high prevalence of urinary symptoms and incontinence is observed in the studied sample of military women, even though this is a young and healthy population (AU)

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: To study the incidence and characteristic of the bilateral tumours of testicle. MATERIAL AND METHODS: It was carried out a retrospective study on a database of testiculars tumours 98 tried in our service among the years 1979 and 2004. RESULTS: We registered 4 cases of bilateral tumours (4,1%) in the series. The interval of appearance of the second tumor oscillated between 14 months and 4 and a half years (being the medium of 47 months). In three cases the initial tumour was an embryonic Carcinoma and in one a tumour of Lydia. In two cases the second tumour was of the same type histological (embryonic Ca and tumour of Leydig), while in the other two cases of embryonic Ca, the second tumour was a seminoma and a teratocarcinoma. Regarding the histology of the first tumour, it was observed that only 3 of the 27 embryonic Ca (11%) of our series, they experienced a second neoplasia in front of 1 of the 2 tumours of Leydig (50%). CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of bilateral tumours in our series was of 4,1%. In our series the risk of the second tumour seems to be higher in patients with Leyding tumours, therefore the lesser number of tumours do not allow us to know significantly conclusions.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: To study the characteristics and evolution of the epidermoid penis tumours. MATERIAL AND METHODS: It was carried out a retrospective study on the epidermoid penis tumours treated in our center between 1981 and 2005. RESULTS: 16 tumours penis epidermoides were diagnosed. The average age of the patients was of 71.7 years (interval between 54 and 90 years). In 80% of the cases they are diagnosed in advanced stadiums (T3 and T4). The most habitual presentation forms are the ulcerous lesions (53%) and papilar (33%). The average diameter of the lesion was 2.3 cm, and the most frequent localization the glands (53%) and balano prepucial (33%). They were carried out 7 local scissions, 8 partial penectomies, one total penectomy, and an local scission pluslocal treatment with 5-fluoracile. With a follow-up of 24 months 5 relapses took place, mainly in patients subjected to local excision of the lesion (p = 0.06 log-rank test). CONCLUSIONS: The epidermoid carcinoma of the penis is a tumoral lesion characteristic of advanced ages that is diagnosed later and treated in not very aggressive way. Therefore it is frequent the advanced stadiums and the tumour relapses.

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: Estudiar la incidencia y características de los tumores bilaterales de testículo. Material y métodos: Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo sobre una base de datos de tumores 98 testiculares tratados en nuestro servicio entre los años 1979 y 2004. Resultados. Se registraron 4 casos de tumores bilaterales (un 4,1%) en la serie. El intervalo de aparición del segundo tumor osciló entre 14 meses y 4 años y medio (siendo la mediana de 47 meses). En tres casos el tumor inicial fue un Carcinoma embrionario y en uno un tumor de Leydig. En dos casos el segundo tumor fue del mismo tipo histológico (Ca embrionario y tumor de Leydig), mientras que en los otros dos casos de Ca embrionario, el segundo tumor fue un seminoma y un teratocarcinoma. Respecto a la histología del primer tumor, se observó que sólo 3 de los 27 Ca embrionarios (11%) de nuestra serie, experimentaron una segunda neoplasia frente a 1 de los 2 tumores de Leydig (50%). Conclusiones. La incidencia de tumores bilaterales en nuestra serie fue del 4,1%, en nuestra serie el riesgo de aparición de un segundo tumor parece ser mas elevado en pacientes con tumores de Leydig aunque el pequeño número de caso no son permite extraer conclusiones significativas

ABSTRACT

Objetivos. Estudiar las características y evolución de los tumores epidermoides de pene. Material y métodos. Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo sobre los tumores epidermoides de pene tratados en nuestro centro entre 1981 y 2005. Resultados. Se diagnosticaron 16 tumores epidermoides de pene. La edad media de los pacientes fue de 71,7 años (intervalo entre 54 y 90 años). En el 80% de los casos se diagnostican en estadios avanzados (T3 y T4). Las formas de presentación más habituales son las lesiones ulcerosas (53%) y papilares (33%), siendo el diámetro medio de la lesión de 2,3 cm, y la localización más frecuente el glande (53%) y el surco balano prepucial (33%). Se realizaron 7 escisiones locales, 8 penectomías parciales, una penectomía total, y una escisión más tratamiento local con 5-fluoracilo. Con una media de seguimiento de 24 meses se produjeron 5 recidivas, principalmente en pacientes sometidos a escisión local de la lesión (p = 0,06 test de log-rank). Conclusiones. El carcinoma epidermoide de pene es una lesión tumoral propia de edades avanzadas que se diagnostica tardíamente y se trata de manera poco agresiva, por lo que son frecuentes los estadios avanzados y las recidivas

ABSTRACT

El carcinoma de células renales representa un 2,5-3% de todos los cánceres, siendo más frecuente en pacientes mayores de 50 años. Tiende a extenderse intravascularmente, produciendo trombosis tumoral en la vena cava inferior en un 4-10% y en la vena renal en el 20-49%. Dado que el tratamiento más efectivo es la resección quirúrgica, es prioritario conocer con exactitud la extensión cefálica de la trombosis tumoral en la vena cava para poder programar la estrategia quirúrgica, lo cual se logra con un estudio radiológico adecuado. La trombosis de vena cava en pacientes con carcinoma renal, puede ser detectado por tomografía axial computarizada y por ecografía abdominal, la resonancia magnética con el software adecuado permite definir con exactitud la extensión cefálica del trombo en la vena cava. Presentamos el caso de un paciente con carcinoma renal y trombosis tumoral secundaria de la vena renal y vena cava, que fue perfectamente definida con el estudio ecográfico abdominal realizado en primera opción, permitiendo diseñar la estrategia terapéutica y el tratamiento quirúrgico con éxito sin emplear la circulación extracorpórea (AU)


The renal cells carcinoma represents 2.5-3-5 of all cancers, being the usual presentation in patients over 50 years. The tendency is the intravascular extension, producing in the patient a tumour thrombosis of the lower cava vein in the 4- 10% cases and the renal vein in the 20-49%. Because its greater effectiveness the surgical resection is the lection, so it makes a priority to know precisely the cephalic extension of the tumour thrombosis in the cava vein to program the surgical procedure, with the help of an adequate radiological study. The thrombosis of the cava vein in the patients with a renal carcinoma may be detected by computer tomography and abdominal echography, the nuclear resonance magnetic tomography with the proper software allows to define exactly the cephalic extension of the cava vein thrombus. A patient with a renal carcinoma and secondary tumour thrombosis for the renal and the cava veins is the case presented. The thrombosis was quite well detected with the abdominal echography, which was the first diagnostic option, allowing us to design the strategy for the treatment and so the surgical planning, without needing to use extracorporeal blood flow (AU)

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Testicular tumors are frequent in young adults, coinciding with incorporation to military service. The present study evaluates the tumor characteristics, time course and results obtained with the treatments used in our center for this type of neoplasms. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective longitudinal study was conducted in a cohort of 98 patients with an average age of 28.6 years, subjected to orchiectomy for testicular tumors in our center between 1979 and 2004. Data were collected relating to patient age, tumor characteristics, the outcome of treatment, and the course of the disease. RESULTS: The right testicle was affected in 61% (with significant differences versus the left side). The most common histological type corresponded to non-seminomatous germ cell tumors (NSGCTs) (65.3%), followed by pure seminomas (27.6%) and non-germinal cell tumors (NGCs) (7.1%). NSGCT was diagnosed at a significantly younger average age (23.2 years) than the other two tumor types. Stage I was the most frequent presentation (58%). Seminomas presented in stage I significantly more often (80%) than the others tumors. The data collected over the 25-year study period showed no significant variations in tumor characteristics. The log-rank test showed a significant difference in terms of patient survival according to the tumor cell line (p = 0.000) and stage (p = 0.000), except between stages I and II, where no significant differences were observed in terms of survival. CONCLUSIONS: Non-seminomatous germ cell tumors (NSGCTs) are the most frequent testicular tumors in young adults. Most neoplasms are diagnosed in early stages, the prognosis being better in the case of seminomas and tumor stages I and II (AU)

ABSTRACT

A case of scrotum leiomyosarcoma is presented in a 87 year-old patient. It debuts as a painless lesion in left hemiescrotum, of one year of evolution. Bony metastasis were observed in the moment of the diagnosis. We carried out a literature revision proving the rarity of this lesion type (only 27 cases have been described), and that, contrary to another leiomiosarcomas type, their aggressive evolution is not habitual in this localization.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: The Bladder neck cerclage diminishes the risk of bleeding after transvesical prostatectomy, but it increases the risk of suffering postoperative bladder neck sclerosis. Our objective is to value the effectiveness and therapeutic security of the temporary bladder neck cerclage after transvesical prostatectomy. MATERIAL AND METHODS: It was carried out a prospective and longitudinal study in a cohort of 25 age patients mean age 68,5 years (standard deviation, 2,6 years), subjected to transvesical prostatectomy (Freyer) with bladder neck cerclage using polipropilene number 1 suture, that was retired at the 24 hours of the surgery. To value the hemostatic utility of bladder neck cerclage, it was measured the hematocrit and hemoglobin concentration at the 24 hours of the intervention. To evaluate the appearance of obstructive sequels, the maximum urinary flow was measured three months after the surgery. RESULTS: It was observed a mean hematocrit at the 24 hours of surgery of 7,3%, and a mean decrease of the hemoglobin at the 24 hours of the surgery of 2,7 gr/dl. In any cases the postoperative hemoglobin concentration was inferior to 8 mg/dl, therefore, it was not necessary transfusion. The uroflowmetry carried out at 3 months of surgery showed that 24 of the 25 intervened patients presented a maximum flow superior to 15 ml/sg. CONCLUSIONS: The temporary bladder neck cerclage is a good hemostatic technique. The precocious cercalge retreat avoids the late sequels (bladder neck sclerosos), that originates the permanent cerclage.

ABSTRACT

La Gran Guerra cambió por completo los conceptos de asistencia médico-quirúrgica de urgencia en la campaña del norte de África, aconsejando que se practicara lo más cercana posible al frente. Se idearon formaciones quirúrgicas móviles que acompañaban a las tropas como el hospital quirúrgico de montaña inspirado en la ambulancia quirúrgica automóvil de Marcille, el auto Chir de Prousts y Gosset o el hospital quirúrgico móvil de Plisson usados por belgas y franceses en la I Guerra Mundial. La idea hasta entonces en nuestros territorios del norte de África era instalar hospitales fijos en las grandes ciudades, hasta donde los heridos debían ser transportados en lentos convoyes que circulaban por malas carreteras y bajo el acoso del enemigo. Esto hacía que los heridos llegasen en muy malas condiciones y que por tanto los resultados fueran funestos. Esta modificación de la doctrina sanitaria fue vital en el comienzo del uso de los aviones sanitarios para el transporte de los heridos graves a los hospitales de retaguardia con urgencia y rapidez. En este trabajo se realiza una descripción de la ubicación de los primeros aeródromos de nuestras posesiones norteafricanas, un estudio de los primeros aparatos, personal encargado de su pilotaje y cuidados así como un relato en cifras de las primeras aeroevacuaciones (AU)


The Great War completely changed the concepts of emergency medical care in the North African campaign, with the recommendation to provide the medical care as near as posible to the front line. Mobile surgical formations were designed which followed the units, as the mountain surgical hospital, inspired in the Marcille´s automobile surgical ambulance, Proust and Gosset´s or Plisson´s mobile surgical hospital used by Belgians and French in the World War I. Until then the concept in our North African territories was to establish fixed hospitals in the big cities, to which the wounded had to be transported in slow convoys that travelled on bad roads and under the harassment of the enemy. This usually caused the wounded to arrive in seriuly deteriorated conditions and therefore the outcome was often disastrous. This modification of the medical support doctrine was vital in the beginning of the use of the medical planes for the evacuation of the severly wounded to the rear hospitals with urgency and rapidity. In this article a description of the location of the first aerodromes in our North African possessions is made, as well as a study of the first aircrafts, flying and maintenance personnel and an account in numbers of the first air evacuations (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción: El cerclaje del cuello vesical disminuye el riesgo de sangrado tras adenomectomía prostática, pero aumenta el riesgo de padecer esclerosis cervical postoperatoria. Nuestro objetivo es valorar la eficacia y seguridad terapéutica del cerclaje temporal del cuello vesical tras adenomectomía prostática. Material y métodos: Se realizó un estudio longitudinal perspectivo en una cohorte de 25 pacientes de edad media 68,5 años (desviación típica, 2,6 años), sometidos adenomectomía prostática transvesical tipo Freyer con cerclaje cervical temporal utilizando polipropileno del número 1 que se retiró a las 24 horas de la cirugía. Para valorar la utilidad hemostática del cerclaje se midió el descenso del hematocrito y la concentración de hemoglobina a las 24 horas de la intervención. Para evaluar la aparición de secuelas obstructivas se midió el flujo miccional máximo a los tres meses de la cirugía. Resultados: Se observó una disminución media del valor hematocrito a las 24 horas de la cirugía del 7,3%, y una disminución media de la hemoglobina a las 24 horas de la cirugía de 2,7 gr./dl. En ninguno de los casos la concentración de hemoglobina postoperatoria fue inferior a 8 mg/dl, por lo que no se precisó transfusión. Los resultados obtenidos en la medición de la flujometría realizada a los 3 meses de esta mostró que 24 de los 25 pacientes intervenidos presentaron a los 3 meses un flujo máximo superior a 15 ml/sg. Conclusiones: El cerclaje vesical temporal es una buena técnica hemostática. La retirada precoz del cerclaje evita las secuelas tardías (esclerosis de cuello vesical) que origina el cerclaje permanente

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: Estudiar las características de los pacientes con neoplasia testicular pertenecientes al contingente de reemplazo del Servicio Militar Obligatorio, comparándolas con los pacientes no pertenecientes a ese grupo. Material y métodos: Se realizó un estudio longitudinal retrospectivo de los pacientes intervenidos en el Servicio de Urología del Hospital Central de la Defensa entre los años 1979 y 2004. Los pacientes se clasificaron en dos grupos: menores de 21 años intervenidos hasta el año 1999 y resto de pacientes. El análisis estadístico se realizo mediante la prueba de la chi-cuadrado. Resultados: No se observaron d iferencias estadísticamentes ignificativas entre ambos grupos de pacientes respecto a los síntomas iniciales de presentación de la neoplasia, el tiempo de demora hasta la cirugía y el estadío tumoral. Si se observaron diferencias significativas en relación al tipo histológico de neoplasia testicular. En los pacientes pertenecientes al contingente de reemplazo fuefon más frecuentesl as neoplasiasg erminales no seminomatosasC. onclusiones: La única diferencia significativa de los pacientes de reemplazo con neoplasia testicular respecto a otro tipo de pacientes fue el tipo de neoplasia testicular. Esta diferencia guarda relación con la menor edad de estos paciente


Objectives: To study the testicular neoplastic patients features into those included in the obligatory enlistment for military service replacement troops, comparing with the patients not belonging to such group. Methods: a retrospective longitudinal study was done within the list of patients operated at the Servicio de Urología from the Hospital Central de la Defensa, between years 1979 and 2004. Patients were classified into a couple of groups: those intervented -less than 21 years old -and fue Test of fuero. Squared -was selected for statistics. Results: significance was not observed in the statistics -concerning to the initially symptoms of neoplasia -between both groups of patients, and during the waiting time for surgery and tumour stage too. Significative differences were observed into the groups in the tumour histology of fue testicular neoplasia. Patients belonging to the replacement contingent presented a higher frequence of non seminomatous germinal neoplasia. Conclusions: The unique significative difference in the patients of replacement with testicular neoplasia respect the other patients was the type of neoplasia. Such difference is related to the younger age of them

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: The testicular tumors are frequent in the young adult, coinciding with the incorporation to the Military Service. The objective of our work is to evaluate the tumoral characteristic, its evolution with the time and the result of the treatments used in our center for this type of tumors. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We carried out a retrospective longitudinal study in a cohort of 98 patients with an average age of 28.6 years, subjected to orchiectomy for testicular tumor in our center between 1979 to 2004. In the study, we collected data referred to the age of the patients, the tumoral characteristic, the outcome of the treatment and the evolution of the tumor. RESULTS: In 61% of the cases, the affected testicle was the right (significant differences). The most common histologyc type was the non seminomatous germ cell tumors (NSGCT) (65.3%). Followed by the pure seminomas (27.6%), and non germinal cell tumors (NGC) (7.1%). The NSGCT was diagnosed to a average age (23.2 years) significantly smaller that the other two types. The stage I was the most frequent (58%). The seminomas presented a stage I in a significantly bigger frequency (80%) that the others tumors. The data picked up during the 25 years didn't show a significant variation regarding the tumoral characteristic. The survival análisis indicated that the tumoral characteristic with better pronostic regarding the probability of tumoral recurrences were the seminomas and the tumoral stages I and II. CONCLUSIONS: The non seminomatous germ cell tumors (NSGCT) are the most frequent testicular tumors in young adults. Most of the tumors are diagnosed in initial stages, and their pronostic is better in the case of the seminomas and in the stages I and II.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: The Extracorporeal shock waves lithotripsy (ESWL) is fundamental in the treatment of lithiasis. However, there are evidences that it can produce renal damage. The objective of our study is to determine the degree of affectation of the glomerular and tubular function after ESWL, and the influence of the lithiasis location on the type of renal damage. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A prospective longitudinal study was carried out in 14 patients with normal renal function subjected to ESWL. We determined the basal level, and the levels at the 24 hours, at the 4th and the 10th day post ESWL of: microalbuminuria (MA) (that values the glomerular function), and N-acetyl glucosamide (NAG) and alanine aminopeptidase (AAP), (that value the tubular function). RESULTS: The basal levels of of MA, NAG and AAP didn't show significant differences in connection with the localization of the stones. A significant increase was observed of the three parameters only 24 hours post ESWL. No significant differences were observed between the variation of the microalbuminuria levels, AAP and NAG and the treatment in relation to the localization of the stones. CONCLUSIONS: It exists a glomerular and tubular damage after ESWL. This damage is not related with the pelvic or calicial location of the stones. In patient with previous normal renal function, the renal damage recovers at the 4th day post ESWL.

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: Las neoplasias testiculares son frecuentes en el adulto joven, coincidiendo con la incorporación al Servicio Militar. El objetivo de nuestro trabajo es evaluar las características tumores, su evolución con el tiempo y el resultado de los tratamientos empleados en nuestro centro para este tipo de tumores. Material y métodos: Se realizó un estudio longitudinal retrospectivo en una cohorte de 98 pacientes de edad media 28,6 años, sometidos a orquiectomía por neoplasia testicular en nuestro centro entre los años 1979 a 2004. En el estudio se recogieron los datos referentes a la edad de los pacientes, las características tumorales, el tratamiento realizado y la evolución de la neoplasia. Resultados: En un 61% de los casos, el testículo afectado fue el derecho (diferencias significativas). El tipo histológico más común fueron los tumores germinales no seminomatosos (TGNS) (65,3%) de los casos seguidos de los seminomas puros (27,6%), y de tumores no germinales (TNG) (7,1%). Los TGNS se diagnosticaron a una edad media (23,2 años) significativamente menor que los otros dos tipos. El estadio I fue el más frecuente (58%). Los seminomas presentaron un estadio I con una mayor frecuencia significativamente mayor (80%) que el resto de los tumores. Los datos recogidos durante los 25 años no mostraron una variación significativa respecto a las características tumorales. El análisis de supervivencia indicó que las características tumorales con mejor pronóstico respecto a la probabilidad de recurrencias tumorales fueron los seminomas y los estadios tumorales I y II. Conclusiones: Los tumores germinales no seminomatosos (TGNS) son los más frecuentes en adultos jóvenes. La mayoría de los tumores se diagnostican en estadios iniciales, y su pronóstico es más favorable en el caso de los seminomas y los estadios I y II (AU)


Objetives: The testicular tumors are frequent in the young adult, coinciding with the incorporation to the Military Service. The objective of our work is to evaluate the tumoral characteristic, its evolution with the time and the result of the treatments used in our center for this type of tumors. Material and methods: We carried out a retrospective longitudinal study in a cohort of 98 patients with an average age of 28,6 years, subjected to orchiectomy for testicular tumor in our center between 1979 to 2004. In the study, we collected data referred to the age of the patients, the tumoral characteristic, the outcome of the treatment and the evolution of the tumor. Results: In 61% of the cases, the affected testicle was the right (significant differences). The most common histologyc type was the non seminomatous germ cell tumors (NSGCT) (65,3%). Followed by the pure seminomas (27,6%), and non germinal cell tumors (NGC) (7,1%). The NSGCT was diagnosed to a average age (23,2 years) significantly smaller that the other two types. The stage I was the most frequent (58%). The seminomas presented a stage I in a significantly bigger frequency (80%) that the others tumors. The data picked up during the 25 years didn’t show a significant variation regarding the tumoral characteristic. The survival análisis indicated that the tumoral characteristic with better pronostic regarding the probability of tumoral recurrences were the seminomas and the tumoral stages I and II. Conclusions: The non seminomatous germ cell tumors (NSGCT) are the most frequent testicular tumors in young adults. Most of the tumors are diagnosed in initial stages, and their pronostic is better in the case of the seminomas and in the stages I and II (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La litroticia por ondas de choque (LEOC) es fundamental en el tratamiento de las litiasis. Sin embargo, existen evidencias de que puede producir daño renal. El objetivo de nuestro estudio es determinar el grado de afectación de la función glomerular y tubular tras LEOC, y si influye la localización litiásica en el tipo de daño renal. Material y métodos. Se realizó un estudio longitudinal prospectivo en 14 pacientes con función renal normal sometidos a LEOC. Se determinó el nivel basal, y a las 24 horas, al 4º y al 10º día post LEOC, de microalbuminuria (MA) (que valora la función glomerular), y de N-acetil glucosamida (NAG) y la alanina aminopeptidasa (AAP) (que valoran la función tubular).Resultados: Los niveles de basales de MA, NAG y AAP no mostraron diferencias significativas en relación con la localización de los cálculos. Se observó un aumento significativo de los tres parámetros sólo a las 24 horas post LEOC. No se observaron diferencias significativas en la variación de los niveles de microalbuminuria, AAP y NAG con el tratamiento en relación a la localización de los cálculos. Conclusiones: Existe un daño glomerular y tubular tras LEO. Este daño es independiente de la localización pélvica ocalicial del cálculo. En pacientes con función renal normal previa, el daño renal se recupera al 4º día post LEOC (AU)

ABSTRACT

La fibrosis retroperitoneal idiopática (FRI), retroperitonitis esclerosante o enfermedad de Ormond constituye una rara entidad clínica, con una incidencia aproximada de 1/200.000 habitantes, caracterizada por la presencia de una placa fibrosa localizada sobre la columna lumbar baja, que puede llegar a englobar a uno o ambos uréteres y producir un fracaso renal progresivo por compresión externa sobre la vía urinaria. Presentamos un paciente que fue diagnosticado de una fibrosis retroperitoneal idiopática. El interés del caso clínico radica en el tratamiento quirúrgico que realizamos en este paciente, intraperitonización del uréter derecho así como la plicatura peritoneal anterior que aíslan al uréter del proceso fibrótico e impide que pueda ser nuevamente atrapado (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción. El riñón pélvico (RP) es una entidad rara, con un intervalo de incidencia en las autopsias de 1:2.000-1:3 .000, que puede crear dificultades para los pacientes que precisan cirugía aortoilíaca. Como cada vez es más frecuente encontrar pacientes renales trasplantados con enfermedad vascular oclusiva, al igual que los que portan ectopia renal, es deseable establecer un tratamiento estratégico para afrontar el desafío de dicha situación. Caso clínico. Describimos el caso de un paciente joven, con isquemia crónica grado II b de miembros inferiores, portador de un riñón pélvico congénito (RPC) detectado de forma casual; la urografía intravenosa comprobó la presencia en el promontorio izquierdo de imágenes de cálices y pelvis renal con uréter corto, y la arteriografía, el nacimiento de la arteria renal en la arteria ilíaca interna ipsilateral. El paciente se trató con una derivación aortobifemoral, mediante la técnica del doble pinzamiento, lo que permitió que el RP se perfundiera por la circulación colateral. Discusión. Se hace una revisión de la anatomía y embriología del RP, y de las alternativas para protegerle en la cirugía aortoilíaca. Conclusión. En la enfermedad oclusiva aortoilíaca, consideramos que la derivación aortobifemoral, junto con la técnica adecuada de preservación del RP, es una opción quirúrgica válida, porque es sencilla, segura y fácil de realizar (AU)
