Objective To improve the awareness of pel vi c lipomatosis in clinical practice. Methods A 51-year- old male patient with pelvic lipomatosis was admitted. Imaging studies showed th at there was mild degree of hydronephrosis on his both sides on IVU and a typica l inverted-pear shape of bladder and extended posterior urethra were also seen on IVU.CT scan showed that low density lipid piled in the pelvic cavity.MRI show ed obvious thickened soft tissue lesion around the bladder,rectum and in the pel vic cavity. The lesions in the pelvic cavity and around the ureters were removed and the lower segments of the ureters were loosened by laparoscopic surgery. Th e clinical characteristics of lipomatosis were reviewed by combination with the literature. Results Intraoperatively,apparently increase d lipid tissue was found in the pelvic cavity and there was large amount of lipi d tissue filling the space around bladder,rectum and sigmoid colon.This finding was consistent with the imaging study findings.About 500g lipid tissue was remov ed in the laparoscopic procedure.Pathologic study showed it was mature lipid tis sue.The patient was discharged 1 week after surgery.Two weeks after surgery,B-u ltrasound showed that there was improvement of hydronephrosis on both sides.The maximum width of right renal fluid sonolucent area decreased from 2.9 cm to 2.0 cm;the width of right upper ureter decreased from 1.2 cm to 1.0 cm;the maximum w idth of left renal pelvis decreased from 1.8 cm to 1.3 cm;and the width of left upper ureter decreased from 0.8 cm to 0.5 cm. Conclusions X-ray,CT scan and MRI are the most valuable examinations in the diagnosis of lipomatosis.Removing the lipid in the pelvis and around the bladder and loosenin g the ureters by laparoscopic surgery are minimally invasive,safe and effective in the treatment of pelvic lipomatosis.

Objective To classify patients with pelvic pain and to improve the understanding of etiology and to guide treatment by using a clinical phenotype system (UPOINT) and to examine the relationship between UPOINT and symptoms in patients with interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome. Methods From November 2009 to October 2011,54 IC/PBS patients including 42 female and 12 male patients were treated.The mean age was 41.0 ± 12.4 yrs (range from 21 to 76 yrs).Median symptom duration was 63.0 ± 59.2 months ( range from 6 to 240 months).54 patients with interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome were classified in each domain of UPOINT,that was urinary,psychosocial,organ specific,infection,neurological/systemic and tenderness.Symptoms were assessed using the Interstitial Cystitis Symptom Index,Pain/Urgency/Frequency score and visual analogue scale for pain/urgency/frequency.Clinically relevant associations were calculated. Results In the 54 IC/PBS patients,median ICSI score was 15.0 ± 1.84 points ( range from 9 to 19 points) ; Median PUF was 20.0 ± 2.3 points ( range from 14 to 25 points) ; Median pain associated with bladder score of VAS was 7.0 ± 1.0 points (range from 5 to 10 points).The percent positive for each domain was urinary 100%,psychosocial 44%,organ specific 96%,infection 33%,neurological/systemic 24% and tenderness 28%,respectively.All patients were included in at least 2 domains,with 2 domains of 11%,3 domains of 38%,4 domains of 36%,5 domains of 13% and 6 domains of 2%.The number of domains was associated with greater symptom duration ( Spearman r =0.76,P <0.01 ) but not age.The number of domains was also associated with poorer general interstitial cystitis and pain symptoms ( Spearman r =0.89,P < 0.01 ) but not with frequency or urgency.The psychosocial domain was associated with increased pain,urgency and frequency,while tenderness was associated with increased ICSI score,PUF score and urgency.The neurological/systemic domain was associated with increased ICSI score while the infection domain was not associated with any increased symptoms. Conclusions The UPOINT phenotyping system can classify patients with interstitial cystitis according to clinically relevant domains.The UPO1NT system can act as the guiding theoretical basis for directing multimodal therapy,it deserves clinical promotion.

Objective To analyze the causes of under-staging in first transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBt) and find out solutions. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 118 cases (93 males and 25 females) of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer and compared the grade and stage between the first TURBt with the second transurethral resection (TUR) or partial cystectomy (PC) or radical cystectomy (RC) from January 2006 to March 2011.The mean patient age was 63.0 ±8.6 yrs.The tumors located in lateral,dome and posterior wall were 71,23,24 respectively; 75 of them were with single and 43 were with multifocal lesions; the sizes of tumor ranged from 0.5 -4.0 cm and 39 of them were ≥3.0 cm; The procedures performed by senior and junior urologist were 53 and 65 cases,respectively.In the study,we used the 2004 WHO/ISUP and 2002 TNM classification system for grading and staging.The data were analyzed with x2 and the logistic regression test to find out the causes of under-staging in first TURBt. Results There were 13 and 105 cases with high-grade Ta and T1 (low-grade T1 44 cases,high-grade T1 61 cases) in first TURBt,respectively.The finial stages were low-grade Ta(2),high-grade Ta(6),low-grade T1 (36),highgrade T1 ( 38 ),T2 (36) and 39 cases (33.1 % ) were under staged ( P < 0.01 ).There were 17 and 22 under-staged cases compared with the second-TUR group (60 cases) and PC/RC groups (58 cases),respectively.The reasons of under-staging were related to tissue morphology changes (63 cases) and the absence of the detrusor muscle (56 cases) in specimens collected during the first TURBt.Multivariate analyses revealed that large tumors ( ≥3 cm),and lateral/dome/anterior wall tumors were independent risk factors to the absence of the detrusor muscle in the resected specimens with OR (95% CI):3.766 ( 1.263 -11.225 ),and OR (95 % CI):5.951 (2.186 - 16.203 ),respectively.While surgery performed by senior surgeons was the protective factor to the presence of detrusor muscle,OR (95% CI):0.274 (0.127 -0.593). Conclusions It is difficult for the first TURBt to completely avoid under-staging.The causes were related to tissues morphology changes and the absence of underlying detrusor muscle in specimens collected during the first TURBT procedure.Tissues morphology changes and the absence of detrusor muscle are related to the tumors location and size.A senior urologist and second-TUR can improve the under-staging.

Objective: To report our prelimilary experience of laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) for clinically localized prostatic cancer.Methods:23 cases with localized prostatic cancer underwent LRP in our institution from October 2000 to August 2003. The median age was 64.5 years old, the median PSA was 13 ng/ml and median Gleason score of biopsy specimens was < 7. The operations were performed according to Montsouris technique. Briefly, operations were carried out transperitonealty, combining posterior and anterior approachs to the prostate, transecting the bladder neck, lateral dissection of the prostate, urcthrovesical anastomosis, completing the operation.Results:No death and no conversion rate were observed in this series of 23 cases of LRP. No re-intervention was needed. The median operating time was 325 minutes (range 270 to 660 min) including the lymphadenectomy phase that was considered necessary in the case whose PSA value was 51ng/ml and pathological reading was negative to thoses lymph nodes; The median intraoperative blood loss was 430 ml(rang 200 to 1100 ml). Postoperative bladder catheterization time was 20 days. Surgical positive margin was found in I case of pathlogical stage of pT2b and Casodex 50 mg had been used on this case for 3 mon after the PSA value was < 0.2 ng/ml. Postoperation follow-up of 3 to 24 mo. showed no signs of complications such as urethral stricture or urine incontinence. The PSA concentrations was < 0.3 ng/ml in all cases.Conclusions: LRP provides a clear and magnified anatomical image to allow a more precise and safer dissection.
