ABSTRACT
Since 2007, various urological procedures have been performed with laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS surgery), including nephrectomy, pyeloplasty, simple prostatectomy and, with the refinement of laparoscopic instrumentation, radical prostatectomy. This paper reports our initial experience in radical prostatectomy using the SILS Port from Covidiem and two lateral 5-mm trocars for triangulation. The SILS Port allows for accurate, simple insertion through a Hadson incision. The flexible port accommodates three 5-mm cannulas or two 5-mm cannulas and a 12-mm port for easier instrument exchange through a single incision. This approach decreases morbidity from bleeding, hernia and/or internal organ damage and improves cosmetic. One-port single-incision laparoscopy is part of the natural development of minimally invasive surgery. Future research is required to assess the intraoperative and postoperative benefits of LESS surgery as compared to standard laparoscopy.

Desde el año 2007 se están realizando distintos procedimientos en cirugía laparoendoscópica por puerto único (laparoendoscopic single-site surgery), incluyendo nefrectomía, pieloplastia, adenomectomía prostática y, con el perfeccionamiento del instrumental laparoscópico, prostatectomía radical. Presentamos nuestra experiencia inicial en prostatectomía radical laparoscópica utilizando el dispositivo Single-Incision Laparoscopic Surgery Port® de Covidien y 2 trocares auxiliares de 5mm colocados lateralmente para triangulación. El Single-Incision Laparoscopic Surgery Port® permite una inserción precisa y sencilla a través de una incisión de Hadson. El puerto flexible contiene 3 cánulas de 5mm o 2 cánulas de 5mm y una de 12mm para facilitar el intercambio de instrumental a través de la incisión única. Este abordaje disminuye la morbilidad por sangrado, hernias y/o lesión de los órganos internos y mejora los resultados cosméticos. El puerto único forma parte del desarrollo natural de la cirugía mínimamente invasiva. Se necesita más experiencia para determinar los beneficios intra y postoperatorios de la cirugía laparoendoscópica por puerto único en comparación con la laparoscopia convencional (AU)

OBJECTIVE: Paratesticular tumors are very rare and mostly bening. Wa aport a new case of adenomatoid tumor of epididymis METHOD: Male of 40 years old with solid lesion in epidididymis tale treated with mass exéresis RESULTS: Adenoamotid tumor of the epididymis confirmed with hystopathologic technique CONCLUSION: Adenomatoid tumor of epididymis is the most frequent paratesticular tumors and when is suspected, conservative surgery must be performed.

Objetivo: Los tumores paratesticulares son poco habituales siendo en la mayoría de los casos benignos. Aportamos un nuevo caso de tumor adenomatoide de epidídimo. Método: Varón de 40 años con masa sólida en cola epidídimo tratada mediante exéresis de la misma Resultados: Tumor adenomatoide confirmado mediante inmunohistoquímica Conclusión: El tumor adenomatoide es el más frecuente de los tumores paratesticulares y su sospecha permite realizar cirugía conservadora

La litotricia extracorpórea por ondas de choque (ESWL) es la forma de tratamiento de la litiasis urinaria más demandada en nuestro país y en el resto del mundo. Prácticamente ha sustituido a las otras formas de terapia (cirugía convencional, ureteroscopia, nefrolitectomía percutánea). Sin embargo éstas aun tienen sus indicaciones. Aunque no hay un consenso definitivo, sería deseable demarcar el terreno de cada una de las modalidades de tratamiento a fin de un mayor aprovechamiento de los potenciales de cada terapia que en muchos casos pueden ser complementarios. En este artículo se revisan los aspectos técnicos de la ESWL, las indicaciones más aceptadas en la literatura en cálculos renales y ureterales, los efectos adversos de este tratamiento y, por último, se consideran las mejoras futuras en su aplicación (AU)

Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is the most required urinary stone therapy in our country and in the rest of the world. In a way it has replaced the alternative treatments (open surgery, percutaneous nephrolithectomy, ureteroscopy). Nevertheless these therapeutic approaches have still its own indications. Although there is no a definitive agreement, it should be desirable a world-wide consensus where each therapy will have a exactly defined land with all potential of each management improved. We review ESWL technical aspects, its literature-based most accepted indications, adverse bioeffects and last, future improvements are considered.
