Implantation of AMS 700 LGX penile prosthesis preserves penile length without the need for penile lengthening procedures.

Implantation of an inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) is a well-established definitive solution for erectile dysfunction when conservative treatments fail. Penile implants may shorten the penis. The AMS 700 LGX IPP is in common use but reports on its mechanical reliability, medium-term postsurgical patient satisfaction, and mean penile length preservation are lacking.

Time-related changes of metabolic and physicochemical profiles in patients with mechanical ileal neobladders.

Objective: To investigate metabolic disturbances, possibly leading to stone disease, in the Camey II technique for creating a urinary reservoir from an intestinal segment.

Patients, Subjects And Methods: Thirty patients with a Camey II ileal neobladder and 26 controls had metabolic investigations of blood samples, and 24-h and fasting urine samples, to assess renal function, the risk of stone formation, and bone turnover. The state of saturation with calcium oxalate, uric acid and brushite were calculated using a computer program.

Cyanoacrylic glue: a minimally invasive nonsurgical first line approach for the treatment of some urinary fistulas.

Purpose: We evaluated the adaptability and the efficacy of a cyanoacrylic glue for the conservative treatment of urinary fistulas of different etiologies using an endoscopic, percutaneous or endovaginal approach.

Materials And Methods: From May 1998 to July 2004, 13 patients with long lasting iatrogenic and/or inflammatory urinary fistulas were treated conservatively with endoscopic, percutaneous or endovaginal application of 1 to 3 cc of cyanoacrylic glue.

Results: The complication rate in this cohort of 13 patients was low.

New serosal lined antireflux ureteroileal implantation technique on a gia stapler detubularised ileal neobladder: technical considerations and results.

Objectives: To evaluate the adaptability and the possible advantages of the antireflux mechanism of the serous lined extramural tunnel for ureter re-implantation on a gastrointestinal anastomosis (GIA) Stapler detubularised ileal neobladder

Methods: From April 1998 to July 2002 43 male patients underwent radical cystectomy and the creation of a Camey II ileal neobladder using this antireflux technique. Follow-up in all cases included excretory urography or T.C.

[Ultrasonography-guided transrectal perineal drainage of retroanastomotic collections in orthotopic neobladder].

Pelvic collections are not an uncommon complication of pelvic surgery. Usually, such a complications are managed by TC-guided percutaneous drainage or even by more invasive surgical operations. Here, we describe a transperineal TRUS-guided drainage technique of pelvic urinomas occurring after a radical cystectomy (RC) for invasive Bladder Cancer (BC) in two patients, respectively 55 and 77 YOM.
