Objective: to describe our experience with a minimally invasive approach for persistent vesicourethral anastomotic leak (PVAL) after Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy (LRP).
Methods: from 2004 to 2011, two surgeons performed LRP in 620 patients. Ten patients had PVAL, with initially indicated conservative treatment, to no avail. These patients underwent a minimally invasive operation, consisting of an endoscopically insertion of two ureteral catheters to direct urine flow, fixed to a new urethral catheter. We maintained the ureteral catheters for seven days on average to complete resolution of urine leakage. The urethral catheter was removed after three weeks of surgery.
Results: the correction of urine leakage occurred within a range of one to three days, in all ten patients, without complications. There were no stenosis of the bladder neck and urinary incontinence on long-term follow-up.
Conclusion: the study showed that PVAL after laparoscopic radical prostatectomy can be treated endoscopically with safety and excellent results.
Objetivo: descrever nossa experiência com uma abordagem minimamente invasiva para fístula de anastomose vesicouretral persistente (FAVP) após prostatectomia radical laparoscópica (PRL).
MÉtodos: de 2004 a 2011, 620 pacientes foram submetidos à prostatectomia radical laparoscópica realizada por dois cirurgiões. Dez pacientes apresentaram FAVP e o tratamento conservador foi inicialmente indicado sem sucesso. Esses pacientes foram submetidos a uma reoperação minimamente invasiva, por via endoscópica, com inserção de dois cateteres ureterais para direcionar o fluxo urinário, fixados a um novo cateter uretral. Os cateteres ureterais foram mantidos por sete dias, em média, até a completa resolução do vazamento de urina. O cateter uretral foi removido após três semanas da cirurgia.
Resultados: a correção do vazamento de urina ocorreu dentro de um intervalo de um a três dias em todos os dez pacientes, sem complicações. Não foram observadas estenose de colo vesical ou incontinência urinária após acompanhamento em longo prazo.
ConclusÃo: o estudo mostrou que a FAVP após a prostatectomia radical laparoscópica pode ser tratada por via endoscópica com segurança e excelentes resultados.

Introduction: Blunt traumatic aortic injury (TAI) is a critical condition and a leading cause of mortality in trauma patients, often resulting from high-speed accidents. Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has developed into the preferred therapeutic approach due to its minimally invasive nature and promising outcomes. This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of TEVAR for managing TAI over a 10-year period at a Level-1 trauma center.

Endoscopic procedures, currently, are characterized by being minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic methods, which allow the management of a wide number of pathologies and in the hands of a good operator, present few complications. Both traumatic and spontaneous splenic rupture is a rare entity, mainly associated with abdominal trauma or splenomegaly due to hematological diseases, respectively. Splenic rupture secondary to endoscopic studies is a complication with a mortality close to 5%, of which only 100 cases have been reported to date, none of them in Colombia.
