Cystectomy*

Objective: To determine the ovulatory response of a cystectomized ovary sonographically in the first three cycles post-op in terms of the number and diameter of pre-ovulatory follicles, development of 18 mm follicle, development of corpus luteum, and their correlation to the type of operation, use of cautery, type of ovarian pathology, and use of ovulatory drugs. Design: Prospective study Methods: Thirty (30) patients who underwent ovarian cystectomy either by laparoscopy of laparotomy from February to May 1998 were included in the study. These patients had follicular monitoring for three cycles post-op at days 14, 16 and 18. The number of pre-ovulatory follicles (/- 12 mm), the diameter (mm) of the largest follicle, onset of development of 18 mm follicle, and onset of development of corpus luteum were noted. The onset of development of 18 mm follicle was correlated to the type of operation (laparoscopy versus laparotomy), use of cautery, type of ovarian pathology (endometrial versus dermoid), and use of ovulatory drugs post-op. Statistical analysis used was student t-test. Results: The mean number of pre-ovulatory follicles (/- 12 mm) during the first three cycles was 1-2 follicles. The mean diameter of the largest follicle during the first cycle post-op was 12-16 mm and increased to 14-18 mm during the second and third cycles. The earliest 18 mm follicle was observed on day 14 of the first cycle but 75.1 percent of patients had an 18 mm follicle by day 18 of the first cycle. The type of operation, use of cautery, type of ovarian pathology, and use of ovulatory drugs post-op did not significantly alter the onset of development of an 18 mm folicle. The earliest corpus luteum was noted on day 18 of the first cycle. Conclusion: There is an adequate ovulatory response after ovarian cystectomy in the first three cycles post-op.

A technique of partial cystectomy employing for hemostasis and traction was presented in conjunction with clinic study.

Urachal carcinoma is an uncommon neoplasm associated with a poor prognosis. We have encountered two another cases of urachal adenocarcinoma recently 5 years after our first report. The common sign of urachal cancer was painless hematuria. We diagnosed the specific site of origin preoperatively by means of computerized tomography. One patient was performed partial cystectomy and another was total cystectomy with double barrel ureterocutaneostomy. A brief review of the literature of urachal adenocarcinoma was also made.

We experienced two successful cases of left to right transureteroureterostomy recently. One had left ureterocutaneostomy resulted from the failure of left ureteroneocystostomy associated with partial cystectomy in bladder tumor, who was treated with left to right transureteroureterostomy without ureteral stents. The other had recurrent bladder tumor which had been treated with partial cystectomy, irradiation and TUR, who was underwent with cutaneous transureteroureterostomy (left to right) and subsequent total cystectomy by placing ureteral stents. In both cases, no complications were seen, such as urinary leakage, progressive bilateral and/or unilateral hydronephrosis

We report a case of vesical endometriosis in a 34 year old female patient and review literature. Managements include partial cystectomy, hormonal treatment and radiation. In this case, we select the hormonal treatrnent because the vesical endometriosis was in the fixed portion of the bladder.

Endometriosis is the presence of normal endometrial tissue in an ectopic location. Its involvement of urinary tract occurs in up to 10 percent. Especially the incidence of vesical endometriosis is very rare. We report one case of vesical endometriosis that have been treated by partial cystectomy and then discussed with references to its unusual features management.
