Single Short Retention Instillation of Pirarubicin Prevents Intravesical Recurrence of Low-risk Non Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer.

Background: This study evaluated the efficacy of a single instillation of pirarubicin with a short retention time for preventing intravesical recurrence of low-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer.

Patients And Methods: We analyzed 165 patients with low-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer who underwent transurethral surgery. Single instillation of pirarubicin with 15-min retention time immediate after surgery was performed in 47 (28%) patients.

Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion as a side effect of chemotherapy for testicular cancer: A case report.

Introduction: Inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion syndrome can be a serious adverse event of cisplatin-based chemotherapy. Cisplatin had to be changed to other drugs or chemotherapy completely discontinued in earlier reported cases.

Case Presentation: Three cycles of bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin chemotherapy were planned for a 40-year-old man with a diagnosis of lymph node recurrence of testicular cancer.

[DRUG-INDUCED INTERSTITIAL LUNG DISEASE DURING COMBINED ANDROGEN BLOCKADE WITH BICALUTAMIDE AND LEUPRORELIN ACETATE FOR PROSTATE CANCER].

We report a case of drug-induced interstitial lung disease as a result of combined androgen blockade. A 75 year-old male was receiving bicalutamide and reuprorelin acetate treatment for advanced prostate cancer. Two weeks after starting therapy, the patient developed dyspnea due to interstitial lung disease.

Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia: A Report of Two Cases, One with Severe Retinopathy and One with Renal Failure.

We report here two cases of Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia (WM), one with central nervous system (CNS) symptoms and severe retinopathy and one with renal failure. In both cases, the serum IgM levels exceeded 3,000 mg/dL and monoclonal IgM-kappa was observed in the blood. At onset, Case 1, a 63-year-old female, developed CNS symptoms-namely, drowsiness and syncope.

[ENDOSCOPIC SHIELDING OF RECTOURETHRAL FISTULA AFTER LAPAROSCOPIC RADICAL PROSTATECTOMY; REPORT OF A CASE].

Rectourethral fistulais a relatively rare complication of radical prostatectomy but is extremely difficult to treat. We report a case with post-laparoscopic radical prostatectomy rectourethral fistula, treated with only endoscopic shielding.A 75-year-old man had undergone laparoscopic radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer, cT2cN0M0.

[Repair of right ureteral stenosis by traumatic injury with appendiceal interposition: a case report].

We report a repair of a right ureteral stenosis with the appendix as a ureteral substitute. A 20-year-old male suffered a traumatic injury in a motorcycle accident. He underwent an emergency operation for right hemothorax, intraabdominal hemorrhage, and bone fracture of right leg.

[A cyst arising from tunica vaginalis testis : report of a case].

A 38-year-old man presented with left intrascrotal painless mass. Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations demonstrated a cystic lesion at the upper side of left testis without enhancement. This mass gradually enlarged in size, and left high orchiectomy was planned.

Evaluation of hydronephrosis with tubeless cutaneous ureterostomy using Tc-99m MAG3 diuretic renography.

Purpose: To assess hydronephrosis of tubeless cutaneous ureterostomy using Tc-99m mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG3) diuretic renogram.

Materials And Methods: Cutaneous ureterostomy with a unilateral stomal creation was performed in 15 patients (27 renal units) with a minimum follow-up period of 6 months. Stomal obstruction was evaluated with Tc-99m MAG3 diuretic renography 3 months after the surgery.

[Clinical study of tubeless cutaneous ureterostomy].

We constructed Toyoda cutaneous ureterostomy with fixation between the anterior and posterior rectus sheath by four interrupted sutures to maintain the stability of the abdominal wall tunnel for the ureters. After the operation, the stent catheters were placed in the renal pelvis through the stoma, and exchanged every 4 weeks. The stent catheters were removed 3 months after the operation, because the stomal conditions were unstable and obstructive in the early phase after the operation.

Malignant pheochromocytoma of the urinary bladder.

A case of malignant pheochromocytoma of the urinary bladder is presented. A 54-year-old woman visited our hospital for screening and was found to have an abnormal mass in the bladder on ultrasonography. The patient was not hypertensive.
