Semi-closed-circuit vacuum-assisted mini percutaneous cystolithotomy (vamPCL) in the pediatric population: Initial experience of a novel technique in native and augmented bladders.

Introduction: Bladder stones (BS) in children are a rare condition and represent 1-5 % of all urinary tract stones. With advances in miniaturized endoscopes and intracorporeal lithotripters, percutaneous cystolithotomy has been demonstrated to be an effective, safe and quick technique, despite the longer operative time. This limitation may be overcome by a semi-closed-circuit vacuum-assisted technology (vamPCL), characterized by a continuous inflow and a suction-controlled outflow (ClearPetra®).

Background: Protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) is a rare condition featured by severe loss of proteins through the gastrointestinal tract. Rare PLE cases complicated with congenital kidney stones have been reported. This case study aimed to illustrate our experiences on the diagnosis and treatment of PLE and congenital kidney stones in a neonate.

Department of Medical Oncology, La Fe University and Polytechnic Hospital, Valencia, Spain.
Article Synopsis
- Carboplatin is an effective and safer alternative to cisplatin for treating stage I seminoma, minimizing risks like nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity.
- A case involved a 48-year-old man who experienced hematuria and acute kidney injury after receiving adjuvant carboplatin following surgery for testicular seminoma.
- The acute kidney injury resolved after conservative management and the removal of a blood clot during cystoscopy, with imaging indicating potential ureteral obstruction.
Suprapubic vesicostomy buttons: Indications, complications and bladder outcomes.

Introduction: Vesicostomy button drainage is a recognised alternative to clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) in children with urethral obstruction, sensate urethra or neurological/behavioural issues.
Aim: To report the indications, complications and long-term bladder functional outcomes in a 15-year cohort of patients with button vesicostomy.
Materials And Methods: AMT Mini one gastrostomy button was inserted via a surgical vesicostomy, or percutaneously under cystoscopic guidance.
A novel technique for atraumatic transurethral catheterisation of male rats.
Biol Open
September 2024
Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery Service, Sengkang General Hospital, Singapore 544886, Singapore.
Article Synopsis
- - Transurethral catheterisation in male rats is challenging due to their unique anatomy, particularly the urethral striated sphincter, which complicates smooth catheter insertion.
- - Researchers often resort to either using female rats or performing more invasive procedures like suprapubic bladder punctures when conducting studies that require urine collection or bladder pressure measurement.
- - The study introduces a new, less invasive method for catheterising male rats using a microscope and microsurgical tools, successfully demonstrated on six rats without causing injury, enabling future research involving male subjects.
