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.

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 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.

Radical cystectomy for bladder cancer was preformed in total of 68 consecutive patients (53 males and 15 females) at Binh Dan hospital from August 2001 to August 2003. Histopathological examination revealed that the tumor grade was 1 in 19 patients (2 with positive node), grade 2 in 20 patients (10 positive node) and grade 3 in 28 patients (15 positive node). The pathological stage was pT1 in 2 patients (no positive node), pT2 in 50 patients (17 positive node), pT3 in 15 patients (12 positive node) and pT4 in 1 patient (positive node). Among 68 patients underwent radical cystectomy, 35 patients had cultaneous ureterostomy, 26 patients had a Carmey II plasty with ileal-conduct uriary diversion, 5 patients with urinary diversion of Kock plasty and 2 patients had a Bricker operation
