Perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) is a rare mesenchymal tumor, mostly benign, and malignant is rare. In this paper, we report a 71-year-old male patient with left renal tumor and a 59-year-old patient with right renal tumor who underwent laparoscopic partial nephrectomy and laparoscopic radical total right nephrectomy, respectively. Postoperative pathology showed benign PEComa and malignant PEComa, respectively. Two years and 10 months of follow-up were given to the benign patient and the malignant patient after surgery, and both patients were in good general condition with no tumor recurrence or metastasis.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of stone composition prediction method based on dual-source stone energy spectrum CT for uric acid stones.Methods:The clinical data of 204 patients with urinary stones, 159 males and 45 females, admitted to Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital from July 2020 to July 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The average age was (50.7±14.3) years. There were 187 cases of upper urinary tract (kidney, ureter) stones and 17 cases of lower urinary tract (bladder, urethra) stones. All patients underwent preoperative dual-source stone energy spectroscopy CT, measuring CT values at 150 kV and 100 kV, respectively, and the calculated dual energy ratio (Ratio) was used to predict stone composition. Of the 204 cases in this group, 33 cases underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy and 171 cases underwent ureteroscopic lithotripsy. Postoperative stone specimens were analyzed for stone composition by infrared spectroscopy. Subject work characteristic (ROC) curves were used to analyze the efficacy of preoperative dual-source stone energy spectrum CT to predict uric acid stones.Results:In 204 patients, preoperative CT predicted 28 cases of uric acid stones and 176 cases of non-uric acid stones, including 136 cases of calcium oxalate stones, 38 cases of hydroxyapatite, and 2 cases of cystine stones. Postoperative IR spectral analysis detected 26 cases of uric acid stones and 178 cases of non-uric acid stones, including 129 cases of calcium oxalate stones, 47 cases of hydroxyapatite, and 2 cases of cystine stones. Compared with the preoperative CT results, there were 2 false positives and no false negatives in the classification of uric acid stones. The ROC curve showed that the sensitivity of the CT value for predicting uric acid stones at 100 kV was 96.2%, the specificity was 99.5%, and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.995, with the best prediction value of 620 HU.The sensitivity of the CT value for predicting uric acid stones at 150 kV was 96.2%, specificity was 85.5%, AUC was 0.916, and the best predictive value was 597.5 HU. The sensitivity of using Ratio values for predicting uric acid stones was 100.0%, specificity was 97.9%, AUC was 0.996, and the best predictive value was 1.14. The CT values for uric acid stones at 100 kV and 150 kV were (558.58±77.07) HU and (521.12±83.54) HU, CT values for calcium oxalate stones were (1 335.26±301.82) HU and (878.21±200.21) HU, CT values for hydroxyapatite were (1 104.09±203.61) HU and (710.38±178.44) HU, respectively.The CT values of cystine stones were (684.5±67.18) HU and (573.5±67.10) HU, respectively, and the differences between uric acid stones and other components were statistically significant ( P<0.01). The Ratio values of uric acid stones, calcium oxalate stones, hydroxyapatite, and cystine stones were 1.08±0.06, 1.52±0.08, 1.62±0.40, and 1.19±0.02, respectively, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.01) when comparing uric acid stones with other components. Conclusion:The CT and Ratio values of dual-source stone energy spectrum CT can effectively distinguish uric acid stones from other types of stones, and the accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of this method for predicting uric acid stones are high.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and feasibility of urethroplasty using inner prepuce graft combined with Orandi flap for the treatment of the obliterated penile urethral atresic stricture.Methods:From January 2016 to September 2019, the clinical data of 18 obliterated penile urethral stricture cases were analyzed retrospectively. All the patients were treated using inner prepuce flap combined with Orandi Flap. The average age of the patients was 62.1 years old (range 20-81 years old). Ten cases had suprapubic cystostomy before operation. The maximum flow rate was 1.6-6.2 ml/s, with an average of 4.2ml/s. The intubation general anesthesia and lithotomy position was used. The foreskin of penis was incised longitudinally. The urethra was exposed and the segment of stricture was opened longitudinally. The range of stricture length was measured with soft ruler, ranging from 2.0 to 7.5 cm, with an average of 5.0cm. After the fibrotic tissue was completely removed, the dorsal inner prepuce was incised with needed length and width for harvesting a free skin flap in order to transplant and reconstruct the dorsal urethral. The Orandi flap was used to cover the ventral urethra, and a F14-16 silicone catheter was retained. The length range of the inner prepuce graft was 2.0-7.5 cm, with an average of 5.1cm; the width was 1.2-1.8 cm, with an average of 1.4cm. The length of Orandi flap was 2.2-7.7 cm, with an average of 6.0cm; the width was 1.0-1.5 cm, with an average of 1.3 cm. The catheter was removed 3-4 weeks after operation. The patients were then followed up after 3, 6 and 12 months postoperatively and then with annual assessments for the symptoms, urinary flow rate, and urethrography or soft urethroscopy when necessary.Results:All of the 18 operations were completed successfully. The patients were followed up for 6-36 months, with an average of 22 months. There were 5 patients with terminal dripping, 4 patients with recurrent urinary tract infection within half a year after operation, and antibiotic treatment being effective. The quality of life scores at 3 months and 6 months after operation were 0.8 (0-2) and 0.6 (0-1), respectively, which were statistically significant compared with before operation ( P<0.001). Conclusions:The use of free inner prepuce flap combined with Orandi flap is an effective treatment for the obliterated penile urethral atresic stricture, especially for the patients who are unwilling or unsuitable to harvest the oral mucosa. It has the advantages of convenient harvesting and less complications.

Objective:To investigated the efficacy and safety of transurethral bladder neck incision and laparoscopic modified bladder neck Y-V plasty in the treatment of bladder neck contracture (BNC)after transurethral resection of prostate (TURP).Methods:The clinical data of 57 patients with BNC after TURP who were treated in the Department of Urology, Sixth People's Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from January 2013 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.And the patients were divided into two groups based on the different surgical approaches. There were 22 cases in the transurethral bladder neck incision group, with an average age of (73.75±7.62) years and the preoperative urinary flow Q max of (3.92±2.73) ml/s. The preoperative International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) was (26.92±3.34) points, and the quality of life (QOL) score was (4.83±0.72) points. There were 35 cases in laparoscopic modified bladder neck Y-V plasty group, with an average age of (68.57±9.31) years and the preoperative urinary flow Q max of (2.56±1.27)ml/s. The preoperative IPSS was (27.08±3.06) points, and the QOL score was (5.08±0.84) points. The patients underwent transurethral bladder neck incision: Scar tissue was incised at 3, 9, and 12 o'clock in the bladder neck, and the incision depth reached the external fat of the bladder neck at 3 and 9 o'clock. Patients with significantly elevated bladder neck were treated with plasma electrosurgical resection to remove scar tissue. The patients underwent laparoscopic modified bladder neck Y-V plasty: After proper exposition of the bladder neck, the scar tissue was excised. the anterior bladder wall was incised in an inverted Y-shaped manner, the apex of the V-shaped flap was sutured to the distal urethrotomy to create a widened bladder neck. The postoperative urinary flow Q max, IPSS, and QOL of the two groups were compared. Results:All patients underwent surgeries successfully, with a one-time success rate of 94.3% (33/35) in the laparoscopic modified bladder neck Y-V plasty group, which was higher than the one-time success rate of 68.2% (15/22) in the transurethral bladder neck incision group( P<0.01). There were statistically significant difference in operation time [(31.75±12.81)min vs. (68.57±22.36)min] and postoperative hospital stay [(1.73±0.94)d vs. (5.17±2.12)d] between the transurethral bladder neck incision group and the laparoscopic modified bladder neck Y-V plasty group ( P<0.05). The median follow-up period was 12.6 (7.3, 27.8) months. The IPSS of the transurethral bladder neck incision group and the laparoscopic modified bladder neck Y-V plasty group were (9.92±2.56) points and (7.16±2.21) points, respectively. The QOL was (2.76±1.24) points and (1.31±0.95) points, respectively. The urinary flow Q max at 6 months after operation was (15.13±4.68)ml/s and (19.96±4.17)ml/s, respectively. There was statistical significance( P<0.05). Conclusions:Both laparoscopic modified bladder neck Y-V plasty and transurethral bladder neck incision are safe and effective in the treatment of BNC after TURP, and laparoscopic modified bladder neck Y-V plasty has a better clinical therapeutic effect.

【Objective】 To explore the causes and management of nephrostomy catheter following percutaneous nephrostolithotomy (PCNL) entering the inferior vena cava. 【Methods】 A retrospective analysis was performed on the management of two cases of nephrostomy catheter entering the inferior vena cava. The causes, changes of minimally invasive treatment and prevention plans were discussed. 【Results】 Two patients underwent digital subtraction angiography (DSA) to restore the nephrostomy tube to the renal pelvis collecting system. No renal vein rupture or bleeding occurred during the operation, and the patients’ vital signs were stable. Nephrostomy tube was removed successfully after operation. The wound healing was good, and there was no secondary hemorrhage such as perirenal hematoma. The prognosis was good. 【Conclusion】 Although intravenous nephrostomy tube misplacement is an uncommon PCNL complication, the consequences are serous. One-step retraction displacement of nephrostomy tube to the renal collecting system can effectively manage nephrostomy catheter entering the inferior vena cava.
