Laparoscopic pelvic organ prolapse repair by mesh interposition following radical cystectomy.

Introduction: The present study aims to introduce laparoscopic treatment by the interposition of polypropylene mesh for a pelvic organ prolapse in females following radical cystectomy for treating muscle-invasive bladder carcinoma.

Case Presentation: The patients included two women aged 77 and 79 years with symptomatic enterocele following radical cystectomy and ileal conduit urinary diversion. We performed laparoscopic sacrospinous colpopexy using polypropylene and polypropylene/ePTFE composite meshes.

[ANEURYSMAL TYPE RENAL ARTERIOVENOUS FISTULA WITH GIANT VENOUS ANEURYSM, MIMICKING RENAL CELL CARCINOMA: A CASE REPORT].

A 39-year-old man was referred to our clinic for a 7 cm tumor in the right kidney, found by simple CT scan. It was suspected as renal cell carcinoma accompanying tumor emboli in the inferior vena cava by enhanced CT scan. For further evaluation of the tumor emboli, color Doppler ultrasound and enhanced MRI was performed.

Soft coagulation in partial nephrectomy without renorrhaphy: feasibility of a new technique and early outcomes.

Objectives: To study the feasibility of a new partial nephrectomy technique using soft coagulation without renorrhaphy.

Methods: Open partial nephrectomy using soft coagulation without renorrhaphy was carried out on 39 consecutive patients with renal tumors. The renal artery was clamped in the initial 23 cases (59%), whereas 16 surgeries (41%) were carried out without clamping.
