Retrospective Study of Cystic Echinococcosis in a Recent Cohort of a Referral Center for Liver Surgery.

Background: Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a zoonosis endemic in Spain caused by the larval stage of the cestode Echinococcus granulosus and is one of the 18 neglected tropical diseases recognized by the WHO. The aim of this study was to describe the epidemiological and clinical data of CE in a surgical referral hospital.

Methods: A retrospective descriptive study of all adults' patients diagnosed with CE and followed at Vall d'Hebron University Hospital in Barcelona, Spain, between 2000 and 2015.

[Laparoscopic management of ureteroileal stenosis: Long term follow up.].

Objective: To describe the laparoscopic approach for uretero-ileal anastomosis strictures and to analyse our long term series.

Methods: A retrospective review was performed evaluating our series of patients with benign ureteroileal anastomosis strictures treated laparoscopically from 2011 to 2017. Demographics and perioperative data were obtained and analyzed.

Laparoscopic Management of Ureteroileal Anastomosis Strictures: Initial Experience.

Background: A ureteroileal anastomosis stricture (UAS) is one of the most frequent complications after radical cystectomy. Open surgical repair is the treatment of choice but is associated with morbidity.

Objective: To describe the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic management for benign secondary UAS.

[Lithiasis in complete ureteral duplication and prostate cancer: combined surgery treatment].

The diagnosis of congenital anomalies of the urogenital tract in the adult is uncommon. Complete ureteral duplication represents a congenital anomaly of the ureters, usually draining a duplex kidney, with a second orifice entering the bladder, urethra or other structures. In the majority of cases, this pathology is completely asymptomatic; sometimes it's diagnosed because of complications such as infections, hydronephrosis, lithiasis, or in the evaluation of the urinary tract.

[Percutaneous treatment of a primary renal aspergilloma in a patient with AIDS].

Primary renal aspergillosis is a very rare complication of AIDS which usually have fatal outcome (53% of mortality). The immune status of the patient and the early and correct therapeutic approach are the main factors that predict disease advancement. The new antiretroviral therapies improve the CD4 cell count and permit to treat these patients as immuno-competent.
