Laparoscopic Abdominopexy: Surgery for Vaginal Prolapse.

Objectives: We present a new surgery based on the round ligament anatomy that is called laparoscopic abdominopexy, which uses a synthetic mesh without fixation at any pelvic point. The aim of this study is to provide a step-by-step description of the laparoscopic abdominopexy technique and present the first anatomical and functional results of the procedure.

Methods: This prospective cohort study included patients with apical and anterior vaginal prolapse who were subjected to laparoscopic abdominopexy.

[Renal cell carcinoma metastases in rare anatomical locations: pituitary, thyroid and mammary glands. of our experience and report of three cases.].

Objective: Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma(RCC) may develop in different anatomical locationsand after a strict follow up within normal limits. We assessthe importance of close follow up in patients with historyof RCC through 3 clinical cases with unusual locations ofmetastatic RCC.

Methods: We present 3 cases of metastatic involvementof pituitary, thyroid and mammary glands.

[Laparoscopic ureteral reimplantation.].

Although the laparoscopic ureteral reimplantation (LUR) has a history of over 20 years, its presence in the literature is relatively sparse, almost always in the form of small case series with low statistical power, which has prevented consistent results. It has proven to be a safe and effective technique, improving the safety profile and perioperative complications compared to open ureteral reimplantation (OUR). The few long-term results suggest a similar success rate between the open and laparoscopic approaches.

Renal Tuberculosis in a 9 Months Old: Case Report and Review of the Literature.

A nine months old girl with prenatal diagnosis of bilateral hydronephrosis underwent serious studies and in view of the presumed diagnosis of right functional annulment, a right laparoscopic nephroureterectomy was performed. The anatomopatological result was suggestive of tuberculosis without previous contact with the disease. Postoperatively, the child received antituberculosis therapy (ATT) for a full 8 months (isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide and ethambutol for 2 months and isoniazid and rifampin for 6 months) and the follow-up tests revealed improvement of ureterohydronephrosis in left kidney.

[Renal angiomyolipoma in a patient with tuberous sclerosis. Case report.].

Objective: To assess the importance of management and close follow-up of patients with tuberous sclerosis that associate renal angiomyolipomas.

Methods: To report a case.

Results: A 55 years old men with tuberous sclerosis diagnosed in childhood and later finding of bilateral giant renal masses in imaging studies, with significant compromise of renal function.
