3.Treatment of Stress Urinary Incontinence with Laparoscopic Bladder Neck Suspension using Extracorporeal Needle Compared with Laparoscopic Bladder Neck Suspension and Raz`s Operations.
Korean Journal of Urology 1997;38(5):506-512
PURPOSE: Laparoscopic bladder neck suspension is an effective treatment for genuine stress urinary incontinence. To decrease the operating time, associated morbidity and hospital stay, we introduced laparoscopic bladder neck suspension using extracorporeal needle. We assessed the feasibility of this new technique, and compared with simple laparoscopic bladder neck suspension and transvaginal Raz procedure. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eleven patients underwent a laparoscopic bladder neck suspension using extracorporeal needle were compared with 16 patients underwent simple laparoscopic bladder neck suspension and 66 patients treated with transvaginal Raz procedure for genuine stress urinary incontinence. All patients were assessed for their age, duration of symptom, operative time, length of hospital stay, postoperative residual urine volume, complications, and success rate. RESULTS: The result of present method was cure in 82% and improvement in 18% of patients. The overall success rate of three methods were similar. Average duration of postoperative admission was 3.4 days and average residual urine volume at discharge was 12.1 ml (simple laparoscopic Burch procedure: 5.1 days and 22.1 ml; Raz procedure: 7.7 days and 37.5 ml). Operative time of laparoscopic bladder neck suspension using extracorporeal needle was shorter than the simple laparoscopic bladder neck suspension and transvaginal Raz procedure (55 vs. 125 and 102 minutes). CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic bladder neck suspension using extracorporeal needle is a good technique for treatment of genuine stress urinary incontinence. However, additional long term follow-up study will be required.

Retropsoas space below the level of kidney has been suggested as a portion of inferior extensions of perirenal and anterior and posterior pararenal spaces. With this being true, the space may play an important role in disease extension. A study was performed to verify the existence of retropsoas peritoneal recess by means of identifying the extension of bowel loops into this space. Abdominal CT scans of 146 cases evaluated retrospectively revealed extension of 5 small bowel and 7 large bowel loops (6 descending and 1 ascending colons)(n=12/8.2%) into the retropsoas space verifying its existence. Since pathologic collection within the retropsoas space might be falsely inter preted as a retroperitoneal pathology and percutaneous uroradiologic intervention could result in intraperitoneal injury or contamination without the knowledge on the existence of this space, observation of this space is essential in CT scans.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the accuracy of CT using water as an oral contrast material in a prone position in determining the depth of tumor invasion in gastric cancer patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty three patients(19 male, 14 female) with surgically confirmed gastric cancer were studied. We performed CT in a prone position after ingestion of 1 liter of pure water. CT findings were classified into 4 groups by the morphologic appearances of infiltrates in the perigastric fat plane :normal perigastric fat(SO), fine mottled densities(S1), irregular aggregated or linear densities(S2) and direct extension and invasion of tumor into contiguous structures(S3). Also we prospectively compared the CT staging with pathologic T staging according to the TNM systems. RESULTS: The overall accuracy of CT staging in determining the pathologic T factor was 69.6%. As we regarded T1 and T2 lesions as one group on CT, the accuracy of CT staging was increased to 80.2% because of a limitation of CT for distinguishing T1 from T2 lesions. CONCLUSION: Prone position CT using water as an oral contrast agent is quite accurate in determining the T staging of gastric carcinoma.

The cryopathic hemolytic anemia is an autoimmune hemolytic anemia induced by cold antibody. Authors report a case of cryopathic hemolytic anemia confirmed by immunohematologic examination. A 22-year-old man was admitted at Kyung Hee Medical Center in March, 1994, with a past history of Kleinerfelter's syndrome and complained jaundice as well as dizziness. Direct antiglobulin test using polyvalent and anti-C3d monovalent antisera was positive, but was negative against anti-IgG, anti-IgA, and anti-IgM monovalent antisera. Cold agglutinin titer was as high as 1:1024 at 4 degrees C and anti-I specificity was confirmed by using cord bloods. The patient was not improved despite transfusion of washed red cells and administration of prednisolone, and on 16th day of hospitalization he manifested sudden episode of headache and loss of conscioussness, soon followed by death.

BACKGROUND: Cold blood cardioplegic solution has been used to protect myocardium during open heart surgery with the hypothesis stating that it provides more oxygen supply to myocardium compared to crystalloid caridoplegic solution. We repeatedly infused cold blood cardioplegic solution to achieve myocardial protection. We biopsied a small portion of papillary muscle of patients with mitral valve replacement or double valve replacement during aortic cross-clamp time and evaluated the method of myocardial protection through the observation of changes in ultrastructure. We then analysed the relationship between changes in ultrasructure and peak postoperative CK-MB value and SGOT value. MATERIAL AND METHOD: We report observation on changes of myocardial ultrastructure, postoperative CK-MB and SGOT, and electrocardiogram in 31 patients who underwent cardiac operation. There were 11 males and 20 females, and they ranging in age from 28 to 69 years (mean score was 2.08+/-0.560, it was 2.37+/-0.558 at 40 minutes, and it was 2.36+/-0.523 at 70minutes. Mitochondrial score increased significant at 40 minutes. Mean value of postoperative peak CK-MB and SGOT were 37.3+/-17.061IU, 144.5+/-125.5IU respectively. We were not able to find any new Q were in EKG after the operation. There was no significant relationship between myocardium mitochondrial score and mean value of postoperative peak CK-MB and SGOT. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, with this study the cold blood cardioplegic solution was incomplete in preserving ultrastructure of myocardium even with satisfactory results in serum enzyme and EKG evaluation.
