Introduction: Ureteral stent placement during laparoscopic pyeloplasty is a common procedure in pediatric patients. Although an apparently safe maneuver, ascending placement of the stent can lead to complex removal or repositioning reinterventions.
Objective: In this study we compare two methods for intraoperative verification of correct positioning.
Article Synopsis
- Studies question the use of laparoscopic pyeloplasty in infants due to complication rates, but meta-analyses indicate it's safe and effective.
- Laparoscopic surgery offers advantages like better vessel visualization, less invasive dissection, and smaller scars compared to open surgery.
- Experienced urologists and pediatric surgeons can rely on data to support the effectiveness and safety of using laparoscopic techniques for pyeloplasties in infants.
Introduction: In this study we used nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy in prostate tissue to provide new data on potential biomarkers of prostate cancer in patients eligible for prostate biopsy.
Material And Methods: Core needle prostate tissue samples were obtained. After acquiring all the spectra using a Bruker Avance III DRX 600 spectrometer, tissue samples were subjected to routine histology to confirm presence or absence of prostate cancer.
Introduction: Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is the most common cause of congenital hydronephrosis. Techniques such as laparoscopic pyeloplasty (LP) have gained in popularity over recent years. Although some retrospective studies have compared minimally invasive reconstructive techniques with open surgery for treatment of UPJO in infants, results remain controversial due to the small sample size in most of these studies.
