Chinese Journal of Urology 2017;38(3):187-191
Objective To survey cognitive and processing mode of urethral distraction defect associated with pelvic fracture (PFUDD) in China and hope to find a reasonable treatment scheme for (PFUDD).Methods From Jan 2011 to Dem 2015,a questionnaire on surgical treatment for PFUDD was sent to 286 Chinese consultant urologists in more than 56 comprehensive hospitals throughout the China.The investigation includes the age of urologsit,the type of hospital,the number of patients treated during the last 5years,operation mode and optional time to do the surgery,the selection of operation approach,evaluation of the treatment effect were analyzed.At same time,we also investigated the methods of 260 cases about PFUDD.Results The age of the urologist were 30-55 years old.Over the past five years,229 urologists had fewer than 10 patients diagnosed each year,and only 57 had 10 patients diagnosed each year.There were many different kinds of operation method,including urethral realignment 36 (14%),direct vision internal urethrotomy 121 (46%),internal urethrotomy plus laser 57 (22%),trans-perineal urethral anastomosis 46(18%).The success rates were 58% (21/36),50% (60/121),46% (26/57),76% (35/46)respectively.70% (200/286) of specialists did an open exploration urethral realignment or cystostomy when patients were injured in 2-6 hours.28% (80/286) of specialists did urethral realignment with endoscopic surgery.About 75% (216/286) of specialists believed that the treatment of patients with posterior urethral atresia should follow the ladder principle.Minimally invasive methods at the start,including urethral dilation,direct vision internal urethrotomy was the first choice.They would prefer open surgery only after intial treatment failure.65% (186/286) of doctors believed that the overall outcome of the surgery was moderated.Conclusions Urethral distraction defect associated with pelvic fracture (PFUDD) was rare to be done.The direct vision internal urethrotomy was the first choice for most of the urologists(75%).They considered the urethroplast only after the failure of initial mini-invasive surgery.Trans-perineal urethral anastomosis had the best results.

Objective To improve the diagnosis and treatment of renal oncocytoma. Methods The clinical data of 3 cases with renal oncocytoma treated from 1999 to 2002 were retrospectively analyzed and discussed with literature reviewed. The 3 tumors’size was 7.6 cm?8.5 cm?6.8 cm,10.0 cm?11.5 cm?9.8 cm,10.0 cm?8.0 cm?6.8 cm,respectively.The clinical features were atypical.Renal oncocytoma was characterized by homogeneous attenuation with a central, margined stellate area on CT scan. Results The 3 cases underwent nephrectomy,and the resected tumors were examined by pathology.On light microscopy,there was strong eosinophilic cytoplasm with granules,the tumor cells being tubular or adenoid in pattern with no necrosis and very rare or no mitosis.Enormous mitochondria were noted on electron microscopy.The immunohistochemical staining was positive for cytokeratin and EMA,whereas it was negative for vimentin.The follow-up lasted for 16 to 30 months without recurrence or metastasis. Conclusions Renal oncocytoma is a type of benign,parenchymatous tumor,and it has no specific clinical feature.The diagnosis can be established on histopathologic,immunohistochemical and electron microscopic studies.

Objective To evaluate bulbourethral sling procedure in the treatment of post prostatectomy incontinence. Methods 5 patients with post prostatectomy incontinence underwent the bulbourethral sling procedure.Preoperatively 1 patient was completely incontinent and 4 patients required a mean of 3.5 pads per day.The mean duration of incontinence was 4.5 years. A sling tension of a mean of 500 g was used to correct incontinence. Results 4 patients have been completely dry,whereas postoperative difficulty in voiding occurred in the other patient and was corrected by subsequent transurethral bladder neck revision resulting in free passage of urine and continence. Conclusions The bulbourethral sling procedure is an effective means in the treatment of post prostatectomy incontinence.

Objective To elucidate the clinical features of nonspecific granulomatous prostatitis(NSGP). Methods From February 1994 to February 2002,26 cases of NSGP confirmed histologically were retrospectively analysed.Of them 20 cases were treated with anti-inflammatory therapy alone;4 cases with anti-inflammatory therapy plus ?-receptor blocker,and 2 cases who concomitantly had retention of urine underwent TURP. Results All the 26 patients were followed up for 6 to 42 months.The therapeutic results were satisfactory.The Qmax increased from 4.6~12.8 ml/s to 16~28 ml/s,and the hard prostate mass became soft,with reduction from 2.5 cm?3.5 cm to 0.5 cm?1.0 cm.The serum PSA decreased from 15.5~60.8 ng/ml to 1.5~10.6 ng/ml. Conclusions In clinical practice NSGP is often mistaken for prostatic carcinoma,so special attention should be paid to the differential diagnosis.The definite diagnosis depends on histopathological examination.

Objective To study the diagnostic value of 3-dimensional CT reconstruction in posterior urethral strictures or ankylurethria.Methods Thirty patients with strictures or ankylurethria of posterior urethra caused by pelvic fracture underwent helical CT scan and 3-dimensional reconstruction of the urethral canal as well as radiographic urethrography before and post open urethral reconstruction to observe the urethral anatomy,the length and position of the urethral strictures,the depth of periurethral scar.Results The mean stricture or ankylurethria length measured by radiographic urethrography was 4.0 cm (range from 1.0 cm to 7.0 cm),and the correlation coefficient of stricture or ankylurethria length was 0.92,21 (70%) patients were diagnosed accurately by radiographic urethrography.The mean stricture or ankylurethria length measured by 3-dimensional CT reconstruction was 4.3 cm (range from 1.2 cm to 7.6 cm),and the correlation coefficient of stricture or ankylurethria length was 0.96,there were 28(93%) patients diagnosed accurately by 3-dimensional CT reconstruction.The mean stricture or ankylurethria length measured by open urethral reconstruction was 4.2 cm (range from 1.5 cm to 7.5 cm).Five patients with urethrorectal fistula were also diagnosed accurately by 3-dimensional CT reconstruction rather than by radiographic urethrography.Conclusions 3-dimensional CT reconstruction of the urethral canal can accurately evaluate the urethral anatomy,the length and position of the urethral strictures,as well as the depth of periurethral scar after crush injury and provide useful information for operation that may not be provided by radiographic urethrography.3-dimensional CT reconstruction may become the most valuable means for detecting posterior urethra strictures or ankylurethria with urethrorectal fistula.

Objective This study was to discuss various operative approaches for the repair complicated posterior urethral strictures. Methods 34 patients with posterior urethral strictures and associated ure-throrectal fistulas (URFs) were reviewed. The etiology of urethral strictures and fistula was due to pelvic fracture in 26 patients, iatrogenic in 6 cases and fall injury in the remaining 2 cases. The patients were treated by using a simple perineal approach (4 patients), a transperineal inferior pubectomy approach (21 patients) and combined abdominal transpubic perineal approach (9 patients) and URF repair and anastomotic urethroplasty were performed simultaneously in all cases. Results One-stage repair was successful in four patients (100%) using a simple perineal approach, in 19 of 21 (90. 48%) using the transperineal-inferior pubectomy approach and 7 of 9 (77. 78%) using the transpubic-perineal approach. Of the 34 patients, recurrent urethral strictures developed in two cases, recurrent URFs developd in two patients. Conclusions Surgical approaches for the special complex urethral strictures should be based on the location of the URF, its etiology and length of the urethral strictures, as well as a history of previous repairs. The transperineal-inferior pubic approach may be appropriate as a first-line procedure.
