REPEATED SCLEROTHERAPY SUCCESSFULLY TREATS A CHILD WITH IDIOPATHIC CHYLURIA: A CASE REPORT.

We describe a clinical course of idiopathic chyluria in a previously healthy 8-year-old Thai boy, with a 1-year history of cloudy white urine undergoing antibiotic treatment. The patient was investigated for the causes but they all proved negative. Cystoscopy and retrograde pyelography demonstrated a renolymphatic fistula of the right kidney.

Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy: perioperative outcomes and morbidity of 559 consecutive cases in Siriraj Hospital, Thailand.

Objective: To evaluate perioperative outcomes and morbidity of laparoscopic radical prostatectomy in Siriraj Hospital during a 5-year experience.

Material And Method: Five hundred fifty nine patients who underwent laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) by seven surgeons at Siriraj Hospital between September 2004 and September 2009 were included in the study. Data of perioperative results and postoperative parameters were retrospectively evaluated.

Laparo-endoscopic single site (LESS) robotic radical prostatectomy in an Asian man with prostate cancer: an initial case report.

Objective: To report the feasibility of laparo-endoscopic single site (LESS) robotic radical prostatectomy performed in Asian man.

Material And Method: A 71 year-old man with adenocarcinoma of prostate presented at Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Bangkok. Prostate-specific antigen level was 16.

Comparative outcome between transverse island flap onlay and tubularized incised plate for primary hypospadias repair.

Objective: To compare the outcome of transverse island flap (TVIF) onlay with tubularized incised plate urethroplasty (TIP) in primary hypospadias repair.

Patients And Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 76 consecutive patients who underwent TVIF onlay (n = 42) and TIP (n = 36) between January 1997 and April 2006. The success rate and complications were compared according to the surgical technique and the severity of the defect (meatal position prior to surgery).

Retroperitoneoscopic nephrectomy in dialysis dependent patients and comparison with open surgery.

Objective: To evaluate the surgical outcomes and morbidity of retroperitoneoscopic nephrectomy compared with open nephrectomy for dialysis dependent patients.

Material And Method: Between November 2002 and August 2007, 14 hemo or peritoneal dialysis patients underwent nephrectomy or nephroureterectomy at Siriraj Hospital. Of the 14 patients, seven were treated with retroperitoneoscopic nephrectomy and seven with open nephrectomy.

Outcomes of surgical treatment for upper urinary tract transitional cell carcinoma: comparison of retroperitoneoscopic and open nephroureterectomy.

Objectives: To determine the surgical and oncologic outcomes in patients who underwent retroperitoneoscopic nephroureterectomy (RNU) in comparison to standard open nephroureterectomy (ONU) for upper urinary tract transitional cell carcinoma (TCC).

Patients And Methods: From April 2001 to January 2007, 60 total nephroureterectomy were performed for upper tract TCC at Siriraj Hospital. Of the 60 patients, thirty-one were treated with RNU and open bladder cuff excision, and twenty-nine with ONU.

Intravesical knotting of a feeding tube used as a urinary catheter.

Urethral catheterization is a common procedure among pediatric patients. Intravesical knotting of a polyethylene feeding tube used as a urethral catheter is rare. This report described such a complication in an infant who had urethral catheterization with 5 Fr feeding tube.

Surgical reconstruction of exstrophy-epispadias complex: analysis of 13 patients.

Background: Because exstrophy-epispadias complex is uncommon and satisfactory surgical reconstruction outcomes are difficult to achieve, the surgical repairs by one surgeon (PS) were analysed over a 14-year period.

Methods: Retrospective analysis was performed on 13 patients with the complex who underwent surgery between January 1986 to August 2000. Cosmesis and continence were evaluated.
