Urachal sinus: An atypical case and review of the literature.

Urachal sinus is a rare type of urachal abnormality. It happens because of blind focal dilation at the umbilical end and has increased risk of infection. We report the case of a 23-year-old female with abdominal pain and umbilical discharge.

Ureteral amyloidosis in the context of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma and systemic amyloidosis.

Ureteral amyloidosis is a rare entity and of interest to urologists, hematologists, radiologists, and pathologists because it mimics urothelial cell carcinoma clinically, endoscopically and radiologically. A pre-operative ureteroscopy or surgical biopsy is required, and it is essential to exclude systemic amyloidosis. We report a male who was diagnosed with IIIA stage lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma associating systemic amyloidosis with concomitant hematuria.

Small cell metastatic prostate cancer with ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone hypersecretion: a case report.

Small cell prostate cancer (SCPC) is a rare entity with an incidence of 0.5-2% of all prostate carcinomas. SCPC is characterized by low prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels, lack of response to androgen deprivation therapy and distal dissemination with visceral metastases at diagnosis in 70% of patients.

[Not Available].

Objective: Encrusted pyelitis in an infection caused by Corynebacterium Urealyticum. The incidence has increased, specially in immunosuppressed patients and patients with indwelling urinary catheters.

Methods: We are presenting a case of a 72 years old male with Bricker urinary derivation with an ureteral catheter.

[Multidisciplinary pelvic floor team: 5 year experience.].

Introduction: Pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) is expressed by many different symptoms that can affect pelvic floor organs. These symptoms can appear alone or associated. The involvement of different organs and the wide variety of symptoms we have to deal with, has become teamwork essential for diagnosis and treatment of PFD.

Testicular dislocation: An atypical case and review of the literature.

Traumatic dislocation of testis is a rare event. We report a case of traumatic testicular dislocation in a 27-year-old patient presenting a right inguinal lump in a context of acute alcohol abuse with transient global amnesia. There was a tender mass in the right inguinal region and right hemiscrotum.

[New position for laparoscopic pyeloplasty. Our experience].

Objectives: To share our experience performing laparoscopic pyeloplasty and our contributions to this surgery.

Methods: Between March 2004 and January 2006 we have performed 12 laparoscopic pyeloplasties in 12 patients. We modified our technique as we found difficulties during operations.

[Robotic renal surgery: pyeloplasty].

The treatment of ureteropyelic junction (UPJ) obstruction offers a perfect sketch of the parallel evolution of the availability of technology and changes in surgical proceedings. From the open Anderson-Hynes pyeloplasty, passing through percutaneous or retrograde endopyelothomy with various instruments, to the laparoscopic approach, technology and human talent have found a field for development in this reconstructive procedure. Robotic surgery is young and starts to define its role in urology surgery.
