[Renal Pseudoaneurysm Developed after Flexible Transurethral Lithotripsy : A Case Report].

A 73-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for treatment of a 12 mm stone in the right ureteropelvic junction and pyonephrosis. A double-J ureteral stent was indwelled for right hydronephrosis and emphysematous pyelonephritis.

The Primary Result of Prospective Randomized Multicenter Trial of New Spray-Type Bio-absorbable Adhesion Barrier System (TCD-11091) Against Postoperative Adhesion Formation.

Background: Postoperative adhesions are the major cause of postoperative complications including intestinal obstruction, infertility, and chronic pelvic pain. In order to reduce postoperative adhesions, Terumo Corporation (Tokyo, Japan) has developed an adhesion barrier system (TCD-11091) which is easy to use at the treatment site in various surgical procedures including laparoscopic surgeries. We conducted a prospective randomized single-blind study in patients who underwent laparotomy with ileostomy.

Aggressive surgical treatment for T4 gastric cancer.

Surgical treatment for locally advanced gastric cancer remains controversial, and many still question the benefits of extended resection. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of combined resection of the involved organs with regard to survival in patients with gastric cancer. Between 1993 and 2000, among the 1638 patients with gastric cancer who underwent gastrectomy, 82 were found to have evidence of adjacent organ spread at laparotomy.
