AI Article Synopsis

  • A 38-year-old woman experienced lifelong involuntary urinary leakage, initially diagnosed as stress incontinence and treated with surgeries involving transobturator tape.
  • Preoperative imaging revealed a duplication of her left kidney with a poorly functioning upper pole and a dilated ureter connected to her vagina.
  • Following laparoscopic surgery to remove the upper pole and ureter, the patient's urinary incontinence markedly improved.

Article Abstract

A 38-year-old woman presented with a lifelong history of involuntary urinary leakage. The patient reported that she had been operated for her urinary leakage with the diagnosis of stress incontinence with transobturator tape two times at two different institutions. Preoperative computed tomography scan showed complete duplication of the left kidney with poorly functioning upper pole and a tortuous left dilated ureter running down and opening into the vagina. Laparoscopic left upper pole heminephrectomy and ureterectomy were performed uneventfully. Her incontinence improved immediately after surgery.

Background: Total vascular exclusion (TVE) with liver hypothermic perfusion under venovenous bypass (VVB) is usually needed to perform hepatectomy with Inferior vena cava and hepatic veins resection-reconstruction. An alternative technique is represented by liver resection under intermittent pedicular clamping, IVC total clamping and VVB, without cold perfusion and liver outflow drainage through the VVB. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The patient is a 60-year-old woman with past medical history of right hepatectomy for leiomyosarcoma 14 years previously.
