Cadaveric surgical demonstration of middle to distal ureteral injury repairs in urologic and gynecologic surgeries.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Iatrogenic ureteral injuries can occur during any surgery but are more likely to occur during urologic and gynecologic procedures. The middle and distal ureter are especially at risk of injury during these surgeries.

Methods: The objective of this surgical educational video was to demonstrate how to repair middle to distal ureteral injuries with the following techniques: direct ureteroureterostomy, ureteroneocystotomy, vesico-psoas hitch, and Boari-Ockerblad bladder flap.

Bilateral inguinal lipoblastomas presenting as inguinal hernias.

Lipoblastomas are rare, encapsulated tumors arising from embryonic white fat. They primarily occur in infancy and early childhood and have a male predominance. Lipoblastomas are usually located on the trunk and extremities although may develop on the head and neck, mediastinum, abdomen, and retroperitoneum.
