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

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the elective method and the clinical experience of using appendix in situ in continent urinary diversion.

METHODS26 continent urinary diversions have been performed since 1990. Among them, 11 cases underwent the intussuscepted technique and other 15 cases underwent embedded technique.

RESULTSThe continent rate was 100% at the daytime among all the case, while intermittent incontinence occurred in 3 cases at night, which happened in the intussuscepted group. Other complications included catheterization difficulty in 3 cases, appendix perforation in 1 case, which happened in the embedded group, traction of the appendix into abdominal cavity in 1 case, and prolapse of the intussusepted appendix in 3 cases.

CONCLUSIONSThe embedded technique shows better results than the intussuscepted technique in term of continence. The embedded technique, using appendix in situ as an efferent loop, shows the advantages of easily performing, timesaving, better outcome in continence and less complication. We believe the technique of appendix in situ as an efferent loop is an ideal modality in urinary diversion operation.

The concept of functional preservation after orthotopic neobladder construction has gradually attracted attention. Reconstruction of urine storage and voiding is the basic function preservation of orthotopic neobladder. Clinical exploration mainly focuses on the optimization of neobladder reconstruction methods and procedures, and there is still a lack of summary of existing surgical characteristics and high-quality functional comparative studies. For strictly selected patients, on the basis of tumor control and standardized postoperative rehabilitation guidance, most patients with preserved nerve can retain satisfied sexual function after surgery. The protection of neurovascular bundle and ancillary structures combined with postoperative exercise is crucial to the improvement of urinary continence. According to the characteristics of patients, choosing the appropriate urinary diversion methods and function preserving can help patients establish a normal life style after surgery and improve their self-image and quality of life.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of transurethral resection of bladder neck on primary female bladder neck obstruction and to analyze the expression of three kinds of sex hormone receptor (SR) in female bladder neck tissues diagnosed as primary bladder neck obstruction by the immunochemistry and statistics. METHODS: The clinical data of 40 female patients, admitted into Peking University People's Hospital for difficulty of voiding during Oct.2008 and Dec.2013 and eventually diagnosed as bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) by urodynamics, were retrospectively reviewed. BOO was defined as a maximum flow rate (Q_max) less than 12 mL/s together with a detrusor pressure at maximum flow rate (Pdet Q_max) more than 25 cmH₂O in urodynamic study in the absence of neurological disorders. Diagnosis was confirmed by the cystoscopy. Preoperative and postoperative AUASS scores were recorded and analyzed for observation of curative effects and complications. The immunochemical expression of SR of primary female bladder neck obstruction (PBNO) tissues and normal control was examined and applied to statistical analysis. RESULTS: There were significant changes postoperatively in voiding scores, storage scores and total scores (P<0.001). Postoperatively, 1 patient newly presented with overactive bladder (OAB), 4 patients newly presented with hematuria, and 1 patient underwent cystostomy. The symptoms of urinary retention with overflow incontinence in 2 patients disappeared after the surgery, and 3 patients complicated with OAB complained without urgency. In addition, pre-hydronephrosis improved postoperatively in six patients. The subjective satisfactory rate to the surgery of TURBN was 77.5% (31/40). Sex hormone receptor, including androgen receptor (AR), estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), expressed in both bladder neck tissues of normal control and PBNO patients. In PBNO group, the expression of PR was significantly lower than that of control group (P<0.05), while the other 2 SRs expressed with no significantly statistical difference. PBNO patients were divided into 2 groups, according to their symptoms scores, and the expression of SRs showed no significant differences among the mild, moderate and severe groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSION The transurethral bladder neck resection is valid in treating with female PBNO patients, with rarely occurrence of complications. PR expressed less in the female bladder neck tissues, and is possibly correlated with the occurrence of female PBNO.

A 23-year-old man had a history of intermittent episodes of urinary tract infection with associated low abdominal pain for 15 years. Persistent bacteriuria even with prolonged antibiotics was the reason why he was referred to our hospital. Laboratory tests were normal except pyuria and growth of Escherichia coli in the urinary samples. Cystoscopy revealed a small slit-like opening on the right lateral wall of bladder dome. We found some air within the bladder and a suspicious communicating tract between the appendix and bladder on a CT scan. With a strong impression of appendicovesical fistula, a laparoscopy was performed to confirm a diagnosis and to remove the appendicovesical fistula resulting in a satisfactory result without any complication.

Intestinal primary intestine-derived adenocarcinoma of the bladder substituted by the intestine is a very rare long-term complication after complete urethral reconstruction of the bladder. The probability of its occurrence is low. However, in recent years, it has been proved to be objective, but there is rare literature about its diagnosis and treatment methods. This article describes a case of cystectomy and Studer ileal conduit in Peking University Third Hospital due to bladder cancer. After 9 years, he was discovered with a primary intestinal-derived adenocarcinoma in the bladder substitutes by the intestine. A male patient, 64 years old, with persistent abdominal pain in the lower abdomen for two weeks. There was carrion-like material in the urine, no gross hematuria, no urinary frequency, urgency, dysuria, and no abnormalities in the examination. Urinary CT showed intestinal metaplasia in the bladder. There was 5.7 cm×2.4 cm×4.8 cm irregular tissue shadow, and ureteroscopy found, on the right side, the bladder tumor whose diameter was 4-5 cm. We performed open lumpectomy and repaired the bladder, and postoperative pathology showed middle-high differentiated adenocarcinoma. The patient recovered well after the surgery. This article reviewed the similar intestinal primary intestine-derived adenocarcinoma of the bladder substituted by the intestine and found that it had the highest incidence in the elderly male population. The pathogenetic factor was most closely related to the smoking. If the patients developed hematuria, carrion-like substances in the urine, and bladder irritation, the possibility of tumor development should be suspected. Then the patients should promptly take the tests, such as urine exfoliation cytology, urine FISH, urinary system B-ultrasound, cystoscopy, etc. The microscope was the most direct observation of the lesion site examination. If the pathological tumor occurred ,and then the tumor should be immediately removed, and a new urinary diversion was needed to avoid further progress of the tumor. And postoperative smoking was strictly prohibited, also the patients should strictly control their eating habits and regularly adhere to the follow-up at least 4 years or more, but the lifelong follow-up and review was a must. The mechanism of intestinal primary intestinederived adenocarcinoma of the bladder substituted by the intestine is still unclear. Studies suggest that it may be related to N-nitroso compounds, smoking, and postoperative inflammatory reactions.

Leiomyosarcoma of urinary bladder (LMS-UB) is a highly malignant mesenchymal tumor, accounting for less than 0.5% of all bladder malignancies, with a predominant clinical presentation of hematuria. Here we report a case of low-grade LMS-UB. A 44-year-old male patient was admitted to the hospital with urodynia for 2 weeks. The patient's pelvis CT showed a mass on the right part of the bladder. For this reason, he was initially diagnosed with bladder cancer. We performed a robot-assisted laparoscopic enucleation of the bladder tumor and low-grade LMS-UB was diagnosed with the histopathological examination. He underwent 5 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery. At 19months postoperative follow-up, the patient had no symptoms, recurrence, or distant metastasis. There is no report on the treatment of LMS-UB with minimally invasive enucleation worldwide. This case provides a new comprehensive treatment method of enucleation combined with adjuvant chemotherapy for early low-grade LMS-UB to reduce complications and improve patients' quality of life after surgery.
