Objective To explore the surgical skills and clinical value of transperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephrectomy.Methods Laparoscopic radical nephrectomy was performed on 70 patients with renal cancers through the transperitoneal approach. After the lateral peritoneum was dissected, the vessels in the renal pedicle was controlled and the nephrectomy was carried out. Results The transperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephrectomy was completed in all the 70 patients without conversion to open surgery. The operation time was 90-230 min with a mean of 130 min. No patient received blood transfusion intra- and postoperation. No severe complications occurred in this series. The hospital stay was 4-8 d with a mean of 6.2 d. The patients were followed up for 2-78 months (mean, 47); no recurrence of renal tumor was found during this period. Conclusions Transperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephrectomy shows high clinical value owing to its advantages in minimal injury, safety, feasibility, and quick postoperative recovery.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of laparoscopic nephrectomy. Methods Laparoscopic nephrectomy was used in 26 cases (transperitoneal approach in 19 cases and retroperitoneal approach in 6 cases), including 8 cases of radical resection of renal cancer, 7 cases of total resection of kidney and ureter (2 cases of carcinoma of renal pelvis and 5 cases of carcinoma of ureter ), 6 cases of non-functioning or atrophic kidney and 5 cases of living donor nephrectomy. Results All the operations were accomplished successfully. The operative time was 120 min ～ 250 min (mean, 190 min) and the intraoperative blood loss was 50 ml ～ 200 ml (mean, 130 ml). No blood transfusion was needed and no operative complications occurred. Follow-up for a mean of 16 months in 8 cases of renal cancer and 20 months in 7 cases of total resection of kidney and ureter revealed no recurrence or metastasis except for 1 case of local recurrence of ureteral carcinoma. Conclusions The laparoscopic nephrectomy has the advantages of minimal invasion, less blood loss and rapid recovery.

Objective To investigate the clinical application of robot-assisted laparosocopic ureterolithotomy.Methods The clinical data of 28 cases(15 males and 13 females),aged 42(18～72),of laparosocopic ureterolithotomy with AESOP system(computer Motion,USA) was analyzed.Of the 28 cases,18 patients had upper ureter stones and 10 had middle ureter stones.Results All procedures were completely performed by robot assisted laparosocopic ureterolithotomy.The operative time was ranged from 35 to 150 min(averaged 50 min) and the intraoperative blood loss was ranged from 20 to 50 ml(averaged 30ml).The postoperative hospital time was 3 to 5 days and no ureter stricture or recurrent calculus was found during the follow-up period(2～13 months).Conclusion The ZEUS AESOP system has the characteristics of high intelligence and humanization.The robot-assisted laparoscopic ureterolithotomy is effective,safe and precise.

Objective To discuss the surgical treatment of contracted bladder caused by ketamine abuse. Methods Twenty-five ketamine male abusers were included in this study.The ages were from 19 to 28 years old and mean age was 24 years old.AIl of them had abused ketamine history for 0.7 tO 4.0 years,and presented with severe lower urinary tract symptoms.including severe frequency,urgency,urge incontinence,and painful haematuria.Urine cultures were negative.Hepatic function and renal function were normal.B ultrasound examination of 23 cases demonstrated the presence of bilateral hydronephrosis,the separation of renal pelvic was(1.8±0.7)cm.B ultrasound examination of 22 cases demonstrated residual urine was 45-1 50 ml,mean 80 m1.Twenty-three IVU investigations demonstrated the presence of bilateral hydronephrosis with calyces renales minores cycloidal expansion and bladder contraction.All the patients took the urodynamies with bladder capacity was (89±34)ml,end filling detrusor pressure was(48±26)cm H2O,Qmax was(7.8±2.3)ml/s,residual urine volume was(82±47)m1.All patients had cystoscopies and random biopsies performed showed ulcerative cystitis only.All patients were required to withdraw the narcotics and the experimental medicines were given without symptoms alleviated.Sigmoid cystoplasty was performed in all the 25 patients. Results The mean follow up was 18 months(rang 6 to 36).Compared with that before operation, bladder capacity increased to (375 ±53)ml, end filling detrusor pressure reduced to( 13 ±9)cm H2O, Qmax increased to(17.6±5.8)ml/s, residual urine volume reduced to(20±10)ml.Compared with the preoperative, there were statistically significant differences.There was no complained of urinary incontinence, enuresis, frequency, urgency.Urine routine examination was normal.IVU showed the vesicoureteral reflux disappeared in all patients, and calyces renales no expansion or calyces renales minores light degree expansion.B ultrasound examination that the separation of renal collecting was(1.0 ±0.5)cm. Conclusions Sigmoidcystoplasty could increase bladder capacity and compliance, lower the intravesieal pressure.It could improve the patients' quality of life.

Objective To explore the causes,management and prevention of major blood vessel injury during urological laparoscopic surgery.Methods Six cases of major blood vessel injuries happened in 1700 laparoscopic surgeries from January 2007 to July 2011.All of the cases were males.Patient age was (53 ± 14) years.There were 4 extraperitoneal and 2 transperitoneal procedures including 3 adrenalectomies,1 radical cystectomy,1 radical prostatectomy and 1 radical nephrectomy.There were lacerations in 3 cases of vena cava,2 cases of external iliac vein and one case of renal vein.The length of laceration was (0.68 ±0.29) cm and blood lost was (114 ++ 79) ml.Results Five of the patients were managed with laparoscopic techniques by suction compressing bleeding sites,dissecting related vessels,adding extra trocar and repairing laceration by suturing in four cases and clipping bleeding site in one case.The bleeding control management lasted (21.0 ± 5.6) min.One laparoscopic adrenalectomty for the treatment of pheochromocytoma converted to open surgery because of increasing blood pressure.All the patients were followed up for (4 ± 2) months.No more related complication occurred.Conclusions Lymph node dissection,local adhesion and energy source are the main causes for blood vascular injuries.This kind of injuries may occur at any stages during a laparoscopic surgery and laparoscopic repairing is safe and feasible.

Objective To compare health related quality of life (HRQOL) between modified and traditional cutaneous ureterostomy, and explore the reasons for these differences, in order to provide the basis of HRQOL for the choice of cutaneous ureterostomy. Methods A total of 53 patients underwent cutaneous ureterostomy were selected, and the patients were divided into traditional cutaneous ureterostomy group (traditional group, 21 cases) and modified cutaneous ureterostomy group (modified group, 32 cases) according to the surgery method. The patients were evaluated by functional assessment of cancer therapy-bladder (FACT-BL), and the HRQOL was compared between 2 groups. Results There were no statistical differences in HRQOL score at 1, 3, 6 and 9 months after surgery between 2 groups (P>0.05). The HRQOL score at 12 months after surgery was significantly higher in modified group than that in traditional group:(141.5 ± 10.4) scores vs. (123.1 ± 5.2) scores, and there was statistical difference (P<0.01). There were no statistical differences in the scores of physiology status, society/family status, emotional state and functional assessment of cancer therapy-general (FACT-G) at 12 months after surgery between 2 group (P>0.05). But the scores of functional status and bladder cancer special scale (BSS), total score of FACT-BL in modified group were significantly higher than those in traditional group:(26.0 ± 2.5) scores vs. (23.8 ± 3.5) scores, (46.7 ± 6.2) scores vs. (34.8 ± 5.5) scores, (143.9 ± 15.7) scores vs. (117.5 ± 8.1) scores, and there were statistical differences (P<0.01). Conclusions The HRQOL at 12 months after surgery in modified cutaneous ureterostomy is better than that in traditional cutaneous ureterostomy. Therefore, if the patient's physical condition permits, priority should be given to modified cutaneous ureterostomy to reduce the complications and improve the quality of life.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of holographic image navigation in urological laparoscopic and robotic surgery.Methods The data of patients were reviewed retrospectively for whom accepted holographic image navigation laparoscopic and robotic surgery from Jan.2019 to Dec.2019 in Beijing United Family Hospital and other 18 medical centers,including 78 cases of renal tumor,2 cases of bladder cancer,2 cases of adrenal gland tumor,1 cases of renal cyst,1 case of prostate cancer,1 case of sweat gland carcinoma with lymph node metastasis,1 case of pelvic metastasis after radical cystectomy.All the patients underwent operations.In the laparoscopic surgery group,there were 27 cases of partial nephrectomy,1 case of radical prostatectomy,2 cases of radical cystectomy and 2 cases of adrenalectomy.In the da Vinci robotic surgery group of 54 cases,there were 51 cases of partial nephrectomy,1 case of retroperitoneal lymph node dissection,1 case of retroperitoneal bilateral renal cyst deroofing and 1 case of resection of pelvic metastasis.There were 41 partial nephrectomy patients with available clinical data for statistic,with a median age of 53.5 years (range 24-76),including 26 males and 15 females.The median R.E.N.A.L score was 7.8 (range 4-11).Before the operation,the engineers established the holographic image based on the contrast CT images and reports.The surgeon applied the holographic image for preoperative planning.During the operation,the navigation was achieved by real time fusing holographic images with the laparoscopic surgery images in the screen.Results All the procedures had been complete uneventfully.The holographic images helped surgeon in understanding the visual three-dimension structure and relation of vessels supplying tumor or resection tissue,lymph nodes and nerves.By manipulating the holographic images extracorporeally,the fused image guide surgeons about location vessel,lymph node and other important structure and then facilitate the delicate dissection.For the 41 cases with available clinical data including 23 cases of robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy and 18 cases of laparoscopic nephrectomy,the median operation time was 140 (range 50-225) min,the median warm ischemia time was 23 (range 14-60) min,the median blood loss was 80(range 5-1 200) ml.In the robotic surgery group,the median operation time was 140 (range 50-215)min,the median warm i schemia time was 21 (range 17-40)min,the median blood loss was 150(range 30-1 200)ml.In the laparoscopic surgery group,the median operation time was 160(range 80-225)min,the median warm ischemia time was 25 (range 14-60)min,the median blood loss was 50 (range 5-1 200) ml.All the patients had no adjacent organ injury during operation.There were 2 cases with Clavien Ⅱ complications.One required transfusion and the other one suffered hematoma post-operation.However,the tumors were located in the renal hilus for these 2 cases and the R.E.N.A.L scores were both 11.Conclusions Holographic image navigation can help location and recognize important anatomic structures during the surgical procedures..This technique will reduce the tissue injury,decrease the complications and improve the success rate of surgery.
