3.Incidence of Urologic Disease Among 95 Consecutive Filipino Patients Presenting With Asymptomatic Microscopic Hematuria
Ralph Albert Patrick UY ; David BOLONG
Journal of Medicine University of Santo Tomas 2022;6(2):971-978
Objective:
One of the common clinical problems
warranting urologic evaluation is asymptomatic
microscopic hematuria (AMH). According to some
studies, it has prevalence as high as 38% with a
possibility of urologic disease or malignancy around
23%. The presence of AMH would be quite a
dilemma to a urologist in terms of how aggressive
urologic evaluation and follow up is recommended.
The present study was to determine the incidence of
significant urologic diseases among Filipino patients
with AMH on initial evaluation and on follow-up.
This study would also determine if there would be
a significant difference in terms of incidence of
urologic disease among patients less than 35 years
old and more than 35 years old with AMH.
Methods:
A total number of 95 patients (38 male,
57 female) were included in this study. All patients
presented with AMH. They were grouped in terms of
age, gender, and duration of follow-up. All patients
underwent cystoscopy and a diagnostic imaging
(ultrasound, CT urogram, or CT stonogram) on initial
evaluation. Patients then were followed up. They
were divided into two groups, those less than 2
years of follow-up and those more than 2 years of
follow-up. Excluded from the study are those patients with gross hematuria, on indwelling catheter, with
urinary tract infection, with previous malignancy,
history of pelvic irradiation, and those who did not
undergo cystoscopy, or any urologic imaging.
Results:
Out of 95 patients with AMH who
underwent urologic evaluation, the incidence of
urologic disease was noted to be 12% (11 out of
95). There was no malignancy related cause of
AMH discovered. Age and gender failed to show
any significant difference in terms of developing
urologic disease. Among patients with negative
findings on initial urologic evaluation, no urologic
disease was noted even on follow-up. Among those
with positive findings on initial evaluation, no new
urologic disease was discovered on follow-up.
Conclusion
AMH has a low incidence of urologic
disease or any GUT malignancy. Age and gender
alone are not sufficient risk factors warranting
an invasive endoscopic procedure. They are
recommended only to those patients with high risk
of urologic disease and can be avoided in majority
of the population. We would recommend a kidney,
urinary bladder, and prostate (KUBP) ultrasound as
the initial imaging of choice since the only findings
noted on evaluation through imaging were just two
cases of nephrolithiasis, one via CT stonogram and
the other through a CT urogram, which can also
be diagnosed with a regular KUBP ultrasound. This
would be more cost-effective as well as beneficial in
terms of the patient’s risk regarding radiation and
contrast-related effects. Clinicians may decrease
unnecessary repeated urologic evaluation and follow-ups on patients with AMH, as the results of
the study failed to show any significant difference
in developing urologic disease for patients with
persistent AMH on initial assessment and even on
follow-up.

4.The role of positron emission tomography in the diagnosis of urologic malignancies
Ho Chi Minh city Medical Association 2005;10(1):28-30
Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) has a limited role in the diagnosis of prostate cancer mainly because of the low uptake of FDG in the tumor. FDG-PET has shown some advantages in the assessment of lymph nodes and bone metastases. FDG-PET has a significant potential to assist with the diagnosis and management of testicular cancer. PET has been most useful in defining the presence or absence of disease in patients with residual masses. Role of PET in renal cell carcinoma and bladder cancer is so limited. Some new marked atoms have studied to increase effects of PET in diagnosis urologic malignancies

5.Clinical Observation on Renal Angiography.
Korean Journal of Urology 1981;22(4):383-388
Renal angiography is now one of invaluable adjuncts to urologic disease with computed tomography and ultrasonography. Authors observed in 50 cases of renal angiography which performed in the Department of Urology, Kyung Hee University Hospital during the period from September. 1977 to August 1980. In detecting and defining both the presence and extent of renal diseases such as tumor, cyst, injury and vascular disorder, renal angiography is highly reliable and accurate.

Minimally invasive laparoscopic surgical procedures are increasingly being used in the management of various urological diseases. In particular, the laparoscopic approach for intravesical surgery using pneumovesicum (LPV) is a minimally invasive alternative with potential advantages including decreased morbidity, shorter hospital stays, and improved cosmesis. We review the applications of LPV in urology, summarize data for different surgical approaches, and provide an overview of patient management, as well as other considerations. This narrative review focused primarily on articles indexed in PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Embase databases. No formal search strategy was used, and no meta-analysis of data was performed.

9.Current Status of Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Surgery in Pediatric Urology.
Korean Journal of Urology 2014;55(8):499-504
Laparoscopic procedures for urological diseases in children have been proven to be safe and effective. However, the availability of laparoscopic procedures is still partly limited to experienced, high-volume centers because the procedures are technically demanding. The da Vinci robot system is being used for an increasing variety of reconstructive procedures because of the advantages of this approach, such as motion scaling, greater optical magnification, stereoscopic vision, increased instrument tip dexterity, and tremor filtration. Particularly in pediatric urologic surgery, where the operational field is limited owing to the small abdominal cavity of children, robotic surgical technology has its own strengths. Currently, robots are used to perform most surgeries in children that can be performed laparoscopically. In this review, we aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of the current role of robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery in Pediatric Urology by analyzing the published data in this field. A growing body of evidence supports the view that robotic technology is technically feasible and safe in pediatric urological surgery. Robotic technology provides additional benefits for performing reconstructive urologic surgery, such as in pyeloplasty, ureteral reimplantation, and enterocystoplasty procedures. The main limitations to robotic surgery are its high purchase and maintenance costs and that the cost-effectiveness of this technology remains to be validated.

PURPOSE: Asymptomatic microscopic hematuria is a difficult problem faced at the offices of many urologists. This study was aimed at evaluating the ability for the detection of significant lesions, according to the grade of microscopic hematuria and the comparison of various diagnostic modalities. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between March 1999 and December 2003, 755 adult patients that visited our hospital due to asymptomatic microscopic hematuria were examined according to the diagnostic algorithm. The male-to-female ratio was approximately 1:1.1 (366:389). Microscopic hematuria was divided into five grades. Lesions found at evaluation were categorized as either highly or moderately significant or insignificant lesions. RESULTS: 221 (29.3%) out of 755 patients were found to have lesions during evaluation. Of these 221 patients, 33 with highly significant lesions, including 4 urologic malignancies, 127 with moderately significant lesions and 61 with insignificant lesions, were detected. Correlation was shown between the degree of microscopic hematuria and the likelihood of detecting significant urologic diseases. The sensitivity and specificity for the detection of significant lesions by urine cytology, ultrasonography (USG), intravenous pyelography (IVP), cystoscopy, computed tomography (CT) and the combination of USG and IVP were 2.5/96.3%, 35.6/96.5%, 34.7/ 96.0%, 7.4/97.7%, 100/98.2% and 44.8/94.8%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The combination of USG and IVP for the detection of significant lesions at the initial examination was more beneficial than USG or IVP. Cystoscopy and CT are necessary additional diagnostic modalities for patients with abnormal findings at the initial examination and for those patients with asymptomatic microscopic hematuria who are at high risk.
