[Laparoscopic nephrectomy].

Laparoscopic nephrectomy is a new procedure in which the entire kidney is removed introducing it in an Endopouch and, after morcellation pulled out through a 12 mm port. After an initial experimental experience, in our Institute we have performed one laparoscopic nephrectomy for left pyelonephritic kidney and ureteral reflux. The operation required the positioning of 5 trocars and 4 hours for its execution. The discharge of the patient was possible four days after.

[Laparoscopic cystectomy: an experimental model of urinary diversion].

During our experimental trial we achieved laparoscopic cistectomies with urinary diversion to prove our manual capability with the reconstructive surgery. We executed, on male pigs, 10 cistectomies with urinary diversion using laparoscopic technique. We performed 5 ureterocutaneostomies on 5 pigs and, in the other ones, 5 ureterosigmoidostomies. During UCS the pigs laid in lateral position, and during USS in supine position. The average time of the operation is going to reduce in consideration of the overcoming of the initial techno-instrumental difficulties and is 60 minutes for cistectomy, 30 minutes for ureterocutaneostomy and 120 minutes for ureterosigmoidostomy.

[Idiopathic "benign" pericarditis in dogs. Clinical and therapeutic reflections].

The authors present a case of benign idiopathic pericarditis in dog, describing a clinical case. The most important reasons for pericardial effusion are analyzed. Clinical signs of cardiac tamponade and aspects of electrocardiographic examination are demonstrated. Inconsistent long-term results achieved using corticosteroid therapy induced the authors to perform partial pericardiectomy (pericardial fenestration). The surgical approach was curative and, one year later, the dog doesn't show any signs of clinical disease.

Photodynamic therapy of spontaneous animal tumors using the active component of hematoporphyrin derivative (DHE) as photosensitizing drug: clinical results.

Photodynamic therapy was performed on 25 primary spontaneous tumors in dogs and cats. The animals were injected with 2.5 mg/kg body wt. of tumor localizing fraction of hematoporphyrin derivative and treated 48 h later with laser light at 631 nm. In 5 cases the treatment was performed on the tumor bed after surgical excision of the tumor mass. An evaluation of clinical results is presented and discussed. Complete remission was obtained in 19 cases and partial remission in 6 cases.

Hematoporphyrin derivative photochemotherapy of spontaneous animal tumors: clinical results with optimized drug dose.

Hematoporphyrin derivative (HpD) photochemotherapy was performed on 13 primary spontaneous tumors in dog and cat. The animals received an optimized drug dose of 5 mg/kg body wt i.v. 48 h before the first treatment with laser light at 631 nm. An evaluation of the clinical results is presented and discussed. Complete disappearance of the primary tumors was obtained in all cases with one or more light irradiations. Five cases presented recurrences that were cured with a further treatment. In 4 cases treated after surgical exeresis of the primary tumors, this therapy resulted in complete cure.
