Impact of kidney disease on perioperative outcomes of endoscopic BPH surgery: a propensity score matched analysis from the NSQIP database.

Introduction: To assess the impact of kidney function in patients with BPH undergoing surgery prior to Transurethral resection of prostate (TURP), Laser enucleation of the prostate (LEP), and Laser Vaporization of the prostate (LVP) on operative and post-operative outcomes using the ACS-NSQIP database.

Methods: The ACS-NSQIP database was reviewed for patients that underwent TURP, LEP and LVP for treatment of patients with BPH between the years of 2008 and 2021. Demographics, comorbidities, bleeding disorders, operative time, and surgical procedure performed were collected for comparison between Kidney function groups: G1, normal/high function; G2-G3, mild/moderate kidney disease; and G4-G5, severe kidney disease.

Gastric Outlet Obstruction as a presentation of Metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Bladder: A case report and review of the literature.

Introduction: Gastric outlet obstruction presents with a range of symptoms which include abdominal pain, early satiety, weight loss and vomiting caused obstruction secondary to tumors from outside the gastrointestinal tract or due to motility disorders. Bladder cancer is rarely associated with Gastric outlet obstruction. It usually presents with painless hematuria and urinary symptoms.

Florid Cystitis Glandularis with Intestinal Metaplasia in the Prostatic Urethra: a case report and review of the literature.

Introduction: Cystitis glandularis is a proliferative disease of the bladder epithelium usually presenting in the setting of chronic inflammation, characterized by the formation of glands in the bladder mucosa and submucosa. Intestinal metaplasia is a described process in cystitis glandularis characterized by the presence of intestinal cells and mucin production which is rare as compared to cystitis glandularis.

Case Presentation: We present a case of cystitis glandularis with intestinal metaplasia located in the bladder and concomitantly in the prostatic urethra.

Adrenal Cavernous Hemangioma: A Rarely Perceived Pathology-Case Illustration and Review of Literature.

Cavernous hemangiomas are endothelial tumors that rarely affect the adrenal glands. Most of these tumors remain silent and are incidentally found on abdominal imaging. Hardly ever, these tumors are endocrinologically functional.

Adrenal Cystic Lymphangioma: An Unexpected Pathological Finding in a Constellation of Uncontrolled Hypertension and Hypercalcemia.

Adrenal cysts are rarely observed lesions. Adrenal cystic lymphangiomas are asymptomatic benign lesions of the lymphatic vessels with the vast majority occurring in women. We herein present a rare case of a middle-aged gentleman with labile blood pressure associated with an incidental finding of an adrenal mass of 4 x 3 x 3 cm.

A yellow-colored lipomatous lesion of the bladder: An unorthodox finding seen upon investigation for microscopic hematuria.

Bladder lesions are almost always malignant where only 5% turn out to be benign. Among the benign lesions, bladder lipomas are rarely reported in the literature. Typically, they are incidentally discovered, after endoscopic resection, during an investigation for hematuria or other urinary tract symptoms.

Symphysis Pubis Osteomyelitis: An Uncommon Complication after Robotic Assisted Radical Prostatectomy-Case Description with Literature Review.

Prostate cancer is the most common solid cancer among American men. Although there are various modalities for treatment, including radical prostatectomy among many others, the former is, nevertheless, not without any accompanied complications. Other than the well-known surgical complications such as erectile dysfunction, urinary incontinence, and voiding dysfunction, osteomyelitis of the symphysis pubis is not a well-understood complication, with various hypotheses explaining its pathogenesis.
