RESUMO
Background: Ureteroiliac fistula is a rare cause of gross hematuria and lateralizing flank pain. Risk factors include previous pelvic surgery, pelvic radiotherapy, or chronic ureteral stentings. Diagnosis is challenging and requires arteriography and ureteroscopy. Management ranges from open surgery to minimally invasive means such as the use of an endovascular stent. Case Report: A 62-year-old man with postradical cystoprostatectomy and cutaneous ureterostomy presented an intermittent gross hematuria with anemia that required blood transfusions. Some CT arteriographies were performed but none of them could identify the bleeding origin. Therefore, a flexible ureteroscopy was performed that showed a left ureteroiliac fistula. Subsequently, an endovascular stent was placed in the left common iliac without complications. Conclusion: The ureteroiliac fistula is a life-threatening condition. CT arteriography or ureteroscopy might help in the diagnosis but the sensitivity is â¼64%. Arteriography with endovascular stenting is a viable and safe option. However, because of its rarity, long-term durable benefits still need to be documented.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: Penile cancer is not very frequent. To control the disease oncologically, we must perform inguinal lymphadenectomy in cases of high-risk histology, poor prognosis and palpable lymph nodes. The open inguinal lymphadenectomy has a high rate of morbidity. Consequently, this systematic review intends to summarize the published literature regarding the oncologic and post-surgery outcomes in video-endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy (VEIL). METHODS: A literature search has conducted through Pubmed, EMBASE and Cochrane library for English and Spanish articles. RESULTS: Our literature search identified 12 articles. In total, 161 patients have been subjected to 226 VEIL. Their average age was 55.66 years. In the case of open inguinal lymphadenectomy, 90 patients have been subjected to 106 operations. The rate of cutaneous complications was 6% for VEIL and 55.6% for open lymphadenectomy. The rate of lymphatic complications was very similar in both types of lymphadenectomy. The average number of lymph nodes obtained was 9.12 for VEIL and 7.02 lymph nodes for the open approach. CONCLUSION: Video-endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy contributes to less morbidity with a lower- rate of cutaneous complications and less severity. Furthermore, VEIL gives lower hospital stay without changing in initial oncologic outcomes. Although we need longer series to stablish the oncologic long-term results.
OBJETIVO: El cáncer de pene es una entidad poco frecuente. Para realizar un buen control oncológico, se recomienda la realización de linfadenectomía inguinal en casos de factores de riesgo de mal pronóstico, grado histológico alto o ganglios palpables o positivos. La linfadenectomía inguinal abierta presenta una alta tasa de morbilidad, por lo que en esta revisión se pretende resumir la literatura publicada en cuanto a los resultados oncológicos y postquirúrgicos en la linfadenectomía inguinal videoendoscópica (VEIL).MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Se realiza revisión sistemática de la literatura obtenida en "Pubmed", "EMBASE" y Cochrane library para artículos en inglés y español. RESULTADOS: Se han analizado un total de 12 artículos, que globalmente incluyen a 161 pacientes con 226 VEIL y una edad media de 55,66 años y 90 pacientes a los que se les ha realizado 106 linfadenectomías abiertas. En el caso del VEIL se han presentado 6% de complicaciones cutáneas y del 55,6% en el caso de la vía abierta. En cuanto a las complicaciones linfáticas, no hay diferencias significativas. La media de ganglios extraídos en el caso de VEIL de 9,12 ganglios y de 7,09 ganglios en abordaje abierto. CCONCLUSIONES: La linfadenectomía inguinal videoendoscópica aporta una menor morbilidad, con una menor tasa de complicaciones cutáneas, y de menor gravedad. Asimismo, aporta menor estancia hospitalaria, sin afectación de los resultados oncológicos iniciales. Aunque se necesitan series con mayor tiempo de seguimiento para valoración de resultados oncológicos a largo plazo.

Los pacientes con cáncer de próstata de bajo riesgo e intermedio constituyen el grupo más frecuentemente diagnosticado en la actualidad. En aquellos con una esperanza de vida inferior a 10 años es muy probable que cualquier tratamiento sea innecesario por lo que la observación debe ser la aproximación más apropiada. En los pacientes en los que esté indicada alguna forma de terapia activa es necesario llevar a cabo un balance entre los riesgos de morir o desarrollar metástasis por la enfermedad y los efectos adversos de los tratamientos radicales comúnmente aceptados, como la prostatectomía radical y la radioterapia externa o intersticial. La significativa incidencia de morbilidad asociada, fundamentalmente disfunción eréctil e incontinencia urinaria, de alto impacto en la calidad de vida, exige esta aproximación en el ámbito de decisiones compartidas con los pacientes. El riesgo de sobretratamiento en este grupo de pacientes ha dado lugar a la introducción de abordajes más conservadores como el seguimiento activo y la terapia focal. El primero, trata de demorar los tratamientos radicales en tanto no existan criterios de agresividad suficiente por parte del tumor o el paciente los solicite. El segundo, que está llamado a ocupar un lugar entre el seguimiento activo y los tratamientos radicales, consiste en llevar a cabo una ablación parcial de la próstata para evitar los efectos adversos de los tratamientos radicales, tratando de lograr un control oncológico lo más similar posible al obtenido con estos
Patients with low and intermediate risk prostate cancer are the most frequently diagnosed group currently. In those with a life expectancy inferior to 10 years it is highly likely that treatment is not necessary so that observation must be the most appropriate approach. In patients in whom active therapy, in any of its forms, is indicated, it is necessary to balance between risk of dying or developing metastases from the disease and adverse effects of commonly accepted radical treatments, such as radical prostatectomy and external beam or interstitial radiotherapy. The significant incidence of associated morbidity, mainly erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence, with high impact on quality of life, demands this approach in the field of decisions shared with patients. The risk of overtreatment in this group of patients has generated the introduction of more conservative approaches such as active surveillance and focal therapy. The first one tries to differ radical treatments as far as there are not enough aggressiveness criteria on the tumor or the patient requests them. The second, called to have a place between active surveillance and radical treatments, involves the performance of a partial ablation of the prostate to avoid the adverse effects of radical treatments, trying to achieve the closest oncological control to the radical options. We perform a review of the therapeutic options and their results in this type of patients

BACKGROUND: Today laparoscopic approach is essential, but learning is usually expensive and very limited. Homemade and low equipment costs are required. We undertook this study to quantify how many hours of training are necessary for a surgeon without laparoscopic experience in order to acquire the abilities to carry out procedures as a staff member with laparoscopic experience. METHODS: A low-cost laparoscopic trainer was constructed. Four exercises of increasing difficulty have been developed. Five residents without laparoscopic experience and four experts developed the study. A satisfaction questionnaire was completed. Data were analyzed comparing the average times for the accomplishment of each exercise between groups. RESULTS: Data showed that the more difficult an exercise is, the more training is required. The average time needed to acquire similar skills as experts was almost 7 h of training spread over 4 months. The level of confidence for approaching a laparoscopic procedure for residents after completing the training was increased by 70%. CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic training is essential in the formation of all surgeons and a reason why this low-cost and easily accessible method could become a basic tool for learning the first steps of the laparoscopic procedure.

BACKGROUND: Fournier's gangrene is a necrotising fasciitis that usually affects the external genitalia and perineal area and may extend to the abdomen, lower limbs and chest. It hasa high fatality rate and must be treated aggressively within a few hours of being diagnosed. It is believed that debilitating diseases such as diabetes mellitus or obesity are conducive to its appearance. A perianal abscess is the most common trigger. OBJECTIVE: To conduct a thorough descriptive analysis of risk factors and predisposing conditions for Fournier's gangrene based on our institution's experience over the past 12 years and reveal the mortality rate for those factors as well as the average number of reoperations performed. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This observational retrospective study examines 20 patients, according to clinical inclusion criteria, who were diagnosed with Fournier's gangrene, and treated in J.M. Morales Meseguer Hospital between 1997 and 2008. RESULTS: The vast majority of patients reviewed were males, with an average age of 61 years. All patients had a significant history of organic pathology, particularly diabetes mellitus. The average hospital stay was 25.7 days. 2 patients died, and the overall mortality rate was 10%. CONCLUSIONS: Fournier's gangrene is an entity that can be lethal and it is favoured by several debilitating factors. It is triggered by a urogenital or perirectal disease that has not been treated properly. Because of its poor prognosis, early diagnosis and an appropriate early and aggressive multidisciplinary intervention are essential for proper recovery.

Introducción: La gangrena de Fournier es una fascitis necrosante que afecta habitualmente a la zona genital externa y perineal, con eventual extensión al abdomen, los miembros inferiores e incluso el tórax, con alta letalidad, que debe tratarse de manera agresiva en las primeras horas tras el diagnóstico. Se considera que enfermedades debilitantes como la diabetes mellitus u la obesidad favorecen su aparición. El factor desencadenante más frecuente es el absceso perianal. Objetivo: Realizar un profundo análisis descriptivo sobre los factores de riesgo y las afecciones predisponentes de la gangrena de Fournier durante toda la historia de nuestro centro, durante los últimos 12 años, así como revelar la tasa de mortalidad de éstos y el número medio de reintervenciones realizadas. Material y métodos: El estudio realizado analiza, de manera observacional y retrospectiva, a 20 pacientes diagnosticados de gangrena de Fournier, según criterios de inclusión clínicos, en el Hospital General Universitario J.M. Morales Meseguer entre 1997 y 2008. Resultados: La gran mayoría de los pacientes revisados eran varones, con una edad media de 61 años. Todos tenían una importante afección orgánica de base; destacaba la diabetes mellitus. La estancia media hospitalaria fue de 25,7 días. Fallecieron 2 pacientes y la mortalidad global fue del 10%. Conclusiones: La gangrena de Fournier es una entidad que puede ser letal, que está favorecida por distintos factores debilitantes, cuya causa desencadenante es una enfermedad perirrectal o urogenital que no ha sido tratada correctamente. Debido a su pronóstico grave, un diagnóstico temprano y una intervención multidisciplinaria adecuada, temprana y agresiva son esenciales para una buena evolución (AU)

OBJECTIVE: To report one case of metastatic prostatic carcinoma with a gaudy presentation as a lump which resulted to be a cutaneous metastasis. METHODS: We describe the debut in a patient, who thanks to the pathologic analysis of a lesion mimicking a lipoma, which was reported as adenocarcinoma, was worked up for prostatic adenocarcinoma and diagnosis was reached. We performed a bibliographic review using an electronic bibliographic search in PubMed (MEDLINE) using the terms "Prostatic Neoplasm" (MesH) AND "Neoplasm Metastasis" (MesH) AND "cutaneous" (free text). Most publications are case reports reviewing the probable dissemination way and localization. RESULTS: Positive immunohistochemical staining for PSA confirmed the origin of the metastasis, although PSA value did not offer doubts due to its value over 1100 ng/ml. Regarding the bibliographic search we obtained more than 26 papers, and selected only 8 that were adjusted to the objectives of our work. Cutaneous metastasis of prostatic origin appear in less than 0.3% of the cases, because bone, lymph node, and visceral disease are more frequent. Cases appearing during the evolution of the disease and metastasis after laparoscopic procedures are described. CONCLUSIONS: Cutaneous metastases of prostatic adenocarcinoma are very rare, but even rarer is it being the debut of the disease.

OBJECTIVE: Renal hydatidosis is caused by Echinococcus granulosus and is extremely rare, accounting for 3-4% of the cases of hydatidosis, being the third site after liver and lungs. It generally remains asymptomatic for years and the most frequent symptoms are pain, feeling of flank heaviness, and dysuria. In front of a compatible clinical picture, we studied the diagnostic, therapeutic, and follow-up schemes reviewing the literature. METHODS: We performed an electronic bibliographic search in PubMed (MEDLINE) which MESH terms "Echinococcosis" [MeSH] AND "urinary tract" [MeSH] and bibliographic citations. We perform a review on epidemiology, vital cycle of the parasite and management of patients with hydatidosis. Most published papers correspond to case reports from different localisations, although we found some reviews. RESULTS: We found a total of 137 papers, we selected 23 of them because they were related; five were reviews, but we only include 10 of them in our references. Although most were case reports, the reviews analyse the cycle of the Echinococcus and its various host sites (organs) in the human host. The human being may become an intermediary host through contact with the definitive host (dogs) or by taking contaminated water or vegetables. CONCLUSIONS: Thanks to the combination of history, imaging tests and serology we get close to the diagnosis in up to 80%. In many cases conservative surgery is possible, but after suspicion we should always sterilise with albendazole before surgical treatment, and monitor serum titles of anti-Echinococcus antibodies.

OBJETIVO: Presentar un caso llamativo por la forma de presentación de un carcinoma de próstata metastátizado con la aparición de un bultoma que correspondía a una metástasis cutánea.MÉTODOS: Describimos la forma de debút de un paciente que gracias al análisis de la lesión que informó de un adenocarcinoma, que aparentaba un Lipoma, se investigó la posibilidad de ser un adenoca de próstata y se estableció el diagnóstico.Se ha realizado una revisión de la literatura mediante una búsqueda bibliográfica electrónica en PubMed (MEDLINE) utilizando los términos Prostatic Neoplasm(MesH) AND Neoplasm Metastasis (MesH) AND cutaneous(texto libre). La gran mayoría de las publicaciones corresponden a aportación de casos nuevos con revisión de la probable vía de diseminación y la localización.RESULTADOS: La tinción inmunohistoquímica con PSA positiva fue la que confirmó el origen de la Metástasis, aunque el valor del PSA no ofrecía dudas por valor superior a 1100 ng/ml. En relación con la búsqueda obtenemos mas de 26 trabajos, seleccionando para nuestra trabajo sólo 8 ya que se ajustan al objetivo del mismo. La aparición de metástasis cutáneas con origen prostático es inferior al 0,3%, ya que es mas frecuente la afectación ósea, en ganglios y visceras. Se describen casos en la evolución de la enfermedad y metástasis tras procedimientos laparoscópicos.CONCLUSIONES: La metástasis cutánea de una adenocarcinoma de próstata es muy rara, pero más aún que ésta sea el debut de la enfermedad (AU)

OBJETIVO: La hidatidosis renal está causado por Echinococcus granulosus y es extremadamente infrecuente, constituyendo el 3-4% de los casos de hidatidosis, siendo la tercera localización tras el hígado y pulmones. Habitualmente permanece asintomático durante años y los síntomas más comunes son dolor, sensación de pesadez en flanco y disuria. Ante la aparición de un cuadro compatible, estudiamos la pauta diagnóstica, terapéutica y de seguimiento revisando la literatura.MÉTODOS: Realizamos una búsqueda bibliográfica electrónica PubMed (MEDLINE) con términos MESH Equinococcosis[MeSH] AND Urinary Tract[MeSH] y de citas bibliográficas. Hacemos una revisión de la epidemiología, el ciclo vital del parásito y del manejo del paciente afecto de Hidatidosis. La gran mayoría de las publicaciones corresponden a aportación de casos con diferentes localizaciones, aunque encontramos algunas revisiones.RESULTADOS: Encontramos un total de 137 trabajos de los cuales, seleccionamos veintitres por estar relacionados; cinco correspondían a revisiones, referenciamos en el texto sólo diez. Aunque la mayoría son aportación de casos, las revisiones analizan el ciclo del Echinococcus y los diferentes lugares de asentamiento (órganos) en el huésped hombre. El hombre puede llegar a ser huésped intermedio a través de contacto con huésped definitivo (perros...) o por ingesta de agua contaminada o vegetales.CONCLUSIONES: Gracias a la combinación de anamnesis, estudios de imagen y serología nos aproximamos al diagnóstico hasta en un 80%. En muchos casos es posible la cirugía conservadora pero tras la sospecha debemos siempre esterilizar con Albendazol antes del tratamiento quirúrgico y tras el tratamiento monitorizar mediante serología la titulación de Anticuerpos anti-echinococcus(AU)

OBJECTIVES: The presence of intravesical foreign bodies is exceptional; it is not a common emergency. Most foreign bodies have a sexual-erotic origin, although we cannot forget others such as elements left by the surgeon in the surgical field. We performed a bibliographic review on the topic. METHODS: We performed a PubMed (MEDLINE) electronic bibliographic search with the mesh terms "foreign-body migration" [MESH] AND "Urinary Bladder" [MESH] and bibliographic citations. We performed a bibliographic review establishing a classification depending on the origin and diagnosis, as well as treatment. Most publications are case reports. We described the most frequent presentation which was the same than we have in our Center. RESULTS: We found a total of 122 works, nine of which were reviews; we selected 20 works. Although most are case reports, the reviews establish a classification depending on the origin: so, they refer to those foreign bodies directly introduced into the bladder: 1. By the patient: hairpins, safety pins, pencils, copper wires, hairs; 2. Accidentally: bullets; 3. Iatrogenic: fragments of bladder or ureteral catheters, staples, sutures. Foreign bodies migrated from other places: urological, gynecological, gastrointestinal, or vascular origin. We established a diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm. CONCLUSIONS: Bladder foreign bodies are not as frequent as it is believed. Most are found incidentally. Lower urinary tract symptoms are the most frequent, as the antecedent of manipulation by the patient or others in the genital-urologic sphere. The treatment of choice is extraction using the least invasive and most simple method for the patient.

OBJETIVO: La presencia de cuerpos extraños intravesicales aparecen excepcionalmente, no siendo una urgencia habitual. La mayoría de cuerpos extraños son de origen erótico-sexual aunque no podemos olvidar otros como el abandono en el campo quirúrgico de algún elemento utilizado. A propósito de ello, revisamos la literatura. MÉTODOS: Realizamos una búsqueda bibliográfica electrónica PubMed (MEDLINE) con términos MESH «Foreign-Body Migration» [MeSH] AND «Urinary Bladder» [MeSH] y de citas bibliográficas. Hacemos una revisión de la literatura estableciendo una clasificación atendiendo al origen y diagnóstico así como tratamiento. La gran mayoría de las publicaciones corresponden a aportación de casos nuevos. Describimos la forma de presentación más habitual que coincidía con el que tuvimos en nuestro Centro. RESULTADOS: Encontramos un total de 122 trabajos de los cuales nueve correspondían a una revisión; seleccionamos en total 20. Aunque la mayoría son aportación de casos, las revisiones, establece una clasificación en función del origen: así, hacen referencia a los introducidos directamente a la vejiga: -por la propia persona: horquillas, imperdibles, lápices, hilos de cobre, pelos; -accidentales: balas; -iatrógenos: fragmentos de sonda o catéteres, grapas, suturas. Migrados desde otros lugares:de origen urológicos, ginecológico, digestivo, vascular. Estableceremos un algoritmo diagnóstico y terapéutico. CONCLUSIONES: Los cuerpos extraños dentro de la vejiga no son tan infrecuentes como se cree. El hallazgo casual es lo más frecuentes. Los síntomas urinarios son los mas frecuentes y el antecedente de manipulación propia o de otros en esa esfera genito urológica y el tratamiento es la extracción utilizando el menos cruento y mas sencillo para el paciente (AU)
