Objective To assess the outcomes of modified spiral ileal orthotopic neobladder.Methods From January 1998 to January 2008, 32 patients (all male) underwent radical cystectomy and spiral ileal orthotopic substitution for muscle invasive bladder cancer. A segment of 40 to 45 cm ileal loop was isolated, detubularized, and reconfigured in spiral shape to form a pouch. Bilateral ureters were reimplanted by inserting the 1 cm distal segment into the pouch to form a Split-Cuff nipple.The bottom of the pouch was opened and anastomosed with the urethra (4 stitches). Results There were no perioperative deaths. The mean operative time was 281.2±48.7 min. Blood loss was 545.4±181.9 ml. Twenty cases required a blood transfusion, the mean volume of intraoprative blood transfusion was 430.8±235.9 ml. The average hospital stays were 26.8±9. 7 days. Rate of daytime continence was 93. 7% (30/32) while nighttime continence was 81.3% (26/32). Urodynamic studies were carried out in 23 cases 6 months after surgery. Neobladder capacity at first desire to urinate was 315.0± 33.4 ml(270-420 ml). The maximum neobladder capacity was 490. 3±39.7 ml(350-600 ml).The maximum flow rate (Qmax) was 16.5 ± 5.9 ml/s. Full resting pressure was 22. 5 ± 11.8 cm H2O. Peak voiding pressure was 78.3 ± 14.7 cm H2O. After mean 58. 4 months' follow up (range 22 to 132), 4 cases died of metastasis of bladder cancer. Conclusion Modified spiral ileal orthotopic neobladder is a reasonable option for treating invasive bladder cancer.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and clinical efficacy of retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RLPN) with individual operation plan in treatment of small renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Methods 98 patients with small RCC who was treated by RLPN from June 2012 to June 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 57 males and 41 females with a mean age of 52 years old (ranging 28 ~ 75 years old). 52 cases were located on the right side while 46 cases were left. The mean tumor size was 3.1 cm in diameter (ranging 0.8 ~ 4.5 cm). 87 patients (A group) were underwent standard RLPN with clamping main renal artery. 7 patients (B group) with exophytic RCC were performed without clamping renal artery, but with separating main renal artery and prepared for possible clamping. 4 patients (C group) with endophytic RCC were performed with clamping renal artery under ultrosound monitoring. The feasibility and outcomes were evaluated by surgical and oncological outcomes. Results 84 cases among A group were underwent standard RLPN successfully, with 2 cases converted to open surgery and 1 case failed to excising tumor completely and converted to laparoscopic radical nephrectomy. The amount of bleeding during operation was 30 ~ 350 ml, average 93 ml, operation time was 70 ~ 245 min, average 127 min, warm ischemia time 20 ~ 42 min, average 26 min. 6 cases among B group were performed successfully without clamping renal artery with 1 case converted to clamp renal artery for 15 min during the operation because of obvious bleeding. The amount of bleeding was 160 ~ 380 ml, average 220 ml, operation time was 85 ~ 215 min, average143 min. 4 cases of C group were all performed successfully, The amount of bleeding was 35 ~ 250 ml, average 85 ml, operation time was 110 ~ 235 min, average 175 min, warm ischemia time 25 ~ 40 min, average 28 min. With a mean follow up of 28 months (ranging 18 ~ 42 months), there was only 1 case of A group occured local recurrence and lung metastases and accepted molecular targeted therapy with Sorafenib. Conclusion RLPN with individual operation plan in treatment of small RCC is safe and effective, the long-term effect of the procedure needs further investigation.

Objective:To explore the application value and initial clinical experience of fluorescence-enhanced laparoscopy combined with indocyanine green in radical cystectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of a total of 8 patients admitted from May 2018 to August 2019 who underwent laparoscopic radical cystectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer using the fluorescent laparoscopy system.There were 6 males and 2 females; aged 58 to 71 years, with an average of 65.8 years. The preoperative pathology was urothelial carcinoma, with 2 cases in T 2a stage, 4 cases in T 2b stage, and 2 cases in T 3a stage. The patient was injected a total of 2 ml of 2.5 mg/ml of indocyanine green through a rigid cystoscope using a 18 gauge cystoscope injection needle before surgery. The PINPOINT endoscopic fluorescence camera system performed surgery in real-time. A systematic examination of the surgical area under near-infrared fluorescence was performed every 5 minutes. Observation and recording of indocyanine green combined with fluorescence laparoscopy to mark the bladder tumor area and identify the sentinel drainage. Results:Eight cases were successfully completed under the fluorescence laparoscopic system.In terms of tumor markers, cystoscopy with indocyanine green allowed 7 of the 8 patients to successfully identify the tumor area under fluorescent laparoscopy. Six of the 8 patients with sentinel lymph nodes identified by indocyanine green lymphangiography were also successful, of which 3 were positive for lymph nodes. At the same time, intravenous indocyanine green was used to observe that the blood supply to the bladder and the end of the ureter was good. The operation time was 190-310 minutes, with an average of 235 minutes; the bleeding volume was 150-380 ml, with an average of 180 ml; the postoperative hospital stay was 10-22 days, with an average of 14.5 days. Postoperative pathological staging 2 cases in T 2a stage, 3 cases in T 2b stage, 3 cases in T 3a stage, with total number of lymph nodes 8-14, average 10. The 8 cases were followed-up for 4-12 months, average 5.5 months, without indocyanine green related complications. Conclusions:Indocyanine green fluorescent laparoscopy can accurately locate and identify the bladder tumor area and pelvic lymph nodes during radical cystectomy, which can reduce positive margins and unnecessary enlarged lymph node dissection.
