Intravesical migration of intrauterine device resulting in pregnancy.

Spontaneous migration of an intrauterine device into the bladder is very rare. A 29-year-old woman in whom an intrauterine device had been placed 6 years previously, presented complaining of chronic pelvic pain and recurrent irritative urinary tract symptoms. One year after insertion she had became pregnant and given birth without complications. Intravesical migration of the intrauterine device was confirmed by sonography and cystoscopy. The intrauterine device was removed by suprapubic cystostomy.

Urethral polyps in children: a review of the literature and report of two cases.

A solitary polyp of the urethra is a rare benign fibroepithelial growth and has often been described in boys. Its occurrence in girls is exceptional. In the present paper, two children with solitary polyps of the urethra are presented and discussed. The first case was an 18-month-old boy with a posterior urethral polyp arising from the posterior urethra and extending to the bladder. It was excised by cystostomy because of an unsuccessful endoscopic removal attempt. The second case was a 2-year-old girl with an interlabial mass arising from the posterior wall of urethra and protruding from the external urethral meatus. It was excised transurethrally.

Long-term results of surgically treated traumatic rectourethral fistulas.

OBJECTIVE: Rectourethral fistulas are uncommon, usually iatrogenic injuries that are demanding to treat. We present the challenging problems involving the treatment of rectourethral fistulas caused by war wounds. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In the period 1991-1996, during the war in Croatia and Bosnia, six patients with rectourethral fistulas caused by war injuries were operated in our institution by the same surgeon. All patients were young males with a mean age of 24.6 years. In all patients, double diversion (diversion colostomy and cystostomy) was performed at the time of the injury in military hospitals. In three patients, multiple unsuccessful operations were performed in other institutions to close rectourethral fistula. We found urethrocystography and proctoscopy as the most reliable diagnostic studies and performed them in all patients. In first three patients, we performed transanal repair with anterior rectal wall advancement flap. Because it failed in all three patients, we performed York-Mason trans-sphincteric approach and anterior rectal wall advancement flap after which rectourethral fistula closed in all patients. Because of the satisfactory results, we performed the same procedure in other three patients. RESULTS: In all patients rectourethral fistula healed 2 months after the operation. Closure of diverting colostomy was performed after urethrocystography and proctoscopy proved that the rectourethral fistula has healed. There were no operative deaths and no major complications. Urethral stenosis developed in one patient and was successfully managed by dilatation. CONCLUSION: We believe that York-Mason trans-sphincteric approach offers straightforward access through healthy tissues and good fistula visualization. Anterior rectal wall advancement flap can easily be performed and offer good chances for definitive closure of the rectourethral fistula.

Pelvic fracture-associated urethral injuries in girls: experience with primary repair.

OBJECTIVE: To present our experience with four urethral injuries in females accompanying a pelvic fracture, managed with primary repair or realignment of the urethra. PATIENTS AND METHODS: There were three teenage girls and one adult (22 years old). All the patients had complete urethral injuries associated with a pelvic fracture from accidents. They were managed by immediate suprapubic cystostomy followed by repair or realignment of the urethra over a catheter on the same day. The catheter was removed after 3 weeks and a voiding cysto-urethrogram taken. Thereafter they were followed with regular urethral calibration. RESULTS: All patients voided satisfactorily with a good stream; three were fully continent and the fourth had transient stress urinary incontinence. One patient needed dilatation at 2 months and another visual internal urethrotomy at 5 months. At a mean (range) follow-up of 33 (9-60) months all the patients had a normal voiding pattern and were continent; none developed vaginal stenosis. CONCLUSION: Primary repair of the urethra, and if that is impossible, simple urethral realignment over a catheter, is the procedure of choice for managing female urethral injury associated with a pelvic fracture. The procedure has the additional advantage of reducing the risk of vaginal stenosis.

Continent cutaneous Ileostomy (Kock pouch) prior to renal transplantation.

Two patients in end-stage renal failure and with neurogenic bladders due to spina bifida complicated by myelomeningocele were considered for renal transplantation. One patient had had a right nephrectomy and urinary diversion via an ileal conduit; the other, after various external drainage procedures (cystostomy, bilateral nephrostomy), had had a tubular ileocystoplasty. Both underwent 2 surgical procedures prior to renal transplantation: in case 1 we performed a left nephrectomy and then ileal conduit removal + Kock pouch; in case 2 a bilateral nephrectomy was performed via 2 posterior incisions and then we removed the ileocystoplasty and formed the pouch. The continent ileostomy was formed according to the original technique with slight modifications. The patients have been followed up for 12 and 15 months after transplantation.

Necrotising soft tissue infections of the perineum and genitalia. Bacteriology, treatment and risk assessment.

Necrotising soft tissue infections of the perineum and genitalia are associated with a high rate of mortality and morbidity. We reviewed the records of 29 consecutive patients to investigate the possible correlation between clinical outcome and number of types of bacteria cultured, focus of infection, presence of diabetes, patient age, renal function and delay until presentation. The patients had an average of 3.9 bacterial organisms cultured intra-operatively (range 1-9). Patients with a rectal focus of infection had a greater number of bacteria and required longer hospitalisation and more operative procedures than patients with dermal or urethral foci. Those over the age of 60 had significantly longer hospital stays and higher mortality. Diabetes and impaired renal function did not increase mortality or morbidity. Suprapubic cystostomy was required in 24 patients (83%), diverting colostomy in 9 (31%) and orchiectomy in 3 (10%). Six patients (21%) died despite broad spectrum antibiotics and aggressive and frequent surgical debridement.

Childhood urethral injuries: perspectives on outcome and treatment.

To elucidate the history of childhood urethral injuries, we undertook a retrospective review of 19 male patients comprising 2 groups: those requiring surgical intervention in adulthood and those with complete disruption of the posterior urethra requiring acute intervention (cystostomy drainage). Group 1 patients (n = 12) ranged in age from 17 to 63 years, had sustained urethral injury between the ages of 3 to 15 years and underwent initial surgery from 9 to 18 years after injury. In all 12 patients the strictures developed in the bulbar urethra. All now report continence and normal voiding and none is impotent. Group 2 patients (n = 7) ranged in age from 4 to 16 years and underwent delayed primary reconstruction of the urethral rupture defect. Six patients are now continent with a good stream but the seventh has required repeat optical urethrotomy. One patient with erectile capability at the time of injury was rendered impotent and remains so.

Simple flap valve for continent urinary diversion.

OBJECTIVE: To provide a stable continence mechanism in patients with urinary diversion by creating a flap valve from the ileal wedge, sutured into the grooves of the reservoir mucosa. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The valve's efficacy and stability were confirmed previously in an experimental study using five dogs. The valve was used in 22 patients with ileocaecal pouches and as a continence mechanism for cystostomy in two paraplegic women. RESULTS: Continence was achieved in all but two patients. In these exceptions the valve was found to be abnormally short (only 2 cm). Re-operation restored one patient to continence but the second patient refused further surgery. There were no problems with either catheterization of the valve or with epithelialization of the serosal surface of the valve. CONCLUSION: The valve is easy to construct and requires only a small intestinal segment; it has long-term mechanical and functional stability and can be easily catheterized. The valve provides continence even with increasing reservoir content and will accept a large catheter, which seems to be important in preventing lithiasis.

Delayed management of posterior urethral disruption in children.

OBJECTIVE: To review the results of delayed operative treatment of total disruption of the posterior urethra in children. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Twelve boys (3-12 years, mean 7.5) with a suprapubic catheter were referred after primary management in other hospitals. All but one had been involved in road traffic accidents. In addition to their urethral injury, they all had pelvic fractures and the majority also had other major associated injuries. Six to 14 months after injury, abdominoperineal transpubic urethroplasty was performed in 11 patients according to Turner-Warwick. In one case a perineal anastomotic urethroplasty was performed. RESULTS: After the operation, voiding cysto-urethrography showed a wide anastomosis in all cases. After 3 to 45 months follow-up, there were no strictures. Eight boys were continent, two were totally incontinent, two had stress incontinence and one nocturnal enuresis. All patients with confirmed erections after injury also had erections after their operation. CONCLUSION: Primary suprapubic cystostomy and delayed repair can be used successfully for the treatment of posterior urethral disruption in children.

Risk factors for urinary stone formation in men with spinal cord injury: a 17-year follow-up study.

OBJECTIVE: To establish hazard ratios for risk of urinary stone formation in men with chronic spinal cord injury. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In all, 140 men injured before 1987 were eligible for this investigation and were followed yearly from January 1987 and December 2003. RESULTS: Over the 17 years, 39 patients (28%) and 21 (15%) were diagnosed with bladder and renal stones for a total of 59 and 25 episodes, respectively. In multivariate analysis, bladder stone was more common in patients injured when aged > or = 24 years than in those injured when aged <24 years (odds ratio 2.5; 95% confidence interval 1.1-5.7; P = 0.03). In another model, patients with complete injury had a greater risk of renal stone formation than those with incomplete injury (4.1, 1.3-12.9; P = 0.016). Renal stone was more common for patients with urethral catheterization than for those voiding spontaneously (5.7, 1.3-24.6, P = 0.021) and for patients with bladder stone than for those without (4.7, 1.5-15.1; P = 0.01). CONCLUSION: Injury characteristics are important for the development of urinary stone in chronic traumatic spinal cord injury. In addition, the present findings suggest that in men who cannot use intermittent catheterization or when the bladder cannot empty spontaneously, suprapubic cystostomy is better than urethral catheterization to avoid renal stone formation.

Successful resuscitation from cardiac arrest associated with extradural lidocaine in a dog.

BACKGROUND: Extradural lidocaine exerts several adverse effects which are seldom fatal. While cardiac arrest following extradural lidocaine injection has been reported in human beings, it has not hitherto been reported in dogs. OBSERVATIONS: The emergency management of a dog with complete urethral obstruction is described. We intended to perform vaginoscopy and cystostomy under extradural lidocaine anaesthesia, but cardiac asystole occurred a few minutes after injection. Resuscitation was successful. About 20 minutes later cardiac arrest recurred, and was treated successfully. The dog remained hypothermic for approximately 7 hours. Complete recovery without neurological deficit occurred the next day and the dog remained normal for at least 3 months. The probable cause of the problem was cranial lidocaine dispersion causing a drop in cardiac preload and cardiac arrest. The successful neurological outcome was attributed to early diagnosis and effective treatment. Hypothermia may have conferred cerebral protection during ischemia. CONCLUSIONS: Extradural local anaesthetic administration is not without risk and the technique should be tailored to individual animals. Constant monitoring is required to detect potentially fatal complications and increase the likelihood of successful outcome.

Intracapsular prostatic omentalization: a new technique for management of prostatic abscesses in dogs.

Twenty dogs with abscessation of the prostate gland were treated by celiotomy, drainage, and digital exploration of the gland through bilateral capsulectomy wounds. Omentum was introduced through the capsulectomy wounds and packed into the abscess cavities around the prostatic urethra. Most dogs were discharged from the hospital within 48 hours of the surgery. Long-term resolution of the problem (no recurrence within 12 months) was achieved in 19 dogs. One dog had recurrent abscessation that was managed by the placement of dependent Penrose drains. Temporary tube cystostomy was performed postoperatively in one dog for the management of transient dysuria. One dog with septic peritonitis resulting from preoperative abscess rupture was managed by concurrent open peritoneal drainage. Intracapsular prostatic omentalization was a simple and effective means of managing prostatic abscessation with minimal requirement for postoperative hospitalization of the patient. The frequency of serious complications, including postoperative urinary incontinence, was low.

Predisposing factors and treatment outcome in Fournier's gangrene. Analysis of 28 cases.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the etiologic factors and the effects of surgical debridement and adjunctive therapies on morbidity and mortality of Fournier's gangrene. METHODS: 27 males, 1 female, a total of 28 patients with a mean age of 58 years treated for Fournier's gangrene were evaluated retrospectively. RESULTS: Predisposing factors including diabetes, alcohol abuse, paraplegia and renal insufficiency were identifiable in 54% of the patients. Etiologic origin of the gangrene was urogenital, cutaneous and anorectal in 43, 25 and 11% of the patients, respectively. The pathology was limited to genitalia in 10, extending to perineum in 8, the umbilicus in 7 and even up to the axilla in 3 patients. Suprapubic cystostomy and colostomy were necessary in 18 and 2 cases, respectively. We used hyperbaric oxygen therapy in 2 and honey in 6 patients to accelerate wound healing. A repeat debridement was necessary in 39% of the cases. Plastic surgery and grafting were done in 14 patients. Our mortality rate was 7%. CONCLUSION: Early recognition of the pathology and aggressive surgical debridement are the mainstay of the management of Fournier's gangrene. Additional strategies to improve wound healing and increase patient survival are also needed.

Unusual foreign body in the urethra.

Numerous cases of intraurethral foreign bodies of great variety and unusual nature have been reported. Such foreign bodies are usually introduced for sexual stimulation and/or during an intoxicated or confused state. Resulting symptoms usually involve the urinary frequency, dysuria, nocturia, hematuria, gross bleeding per urethra, difficulty in voiding, or complete urinary retention. Depending on the type of foreign body and its location, various methods of removal have been described, including meatotomy, cystoscopy, internal or external urethrotomy, suprapubic cystostomy, Fogarty catheterization, and injection of solvents. The most frequent complications are urethritis, urethral tear with periurethral abscess and/or fistula, hemorrhage, and urethral diverticuli. We report a case of an intraurethral fishhook with its complications and treatment. The diagnosis should be considered in high-risk patients with lower and urinary tract signs and symptoms.

Tubed vesicostomy for tetraplegics.

The main advantage of our newly developed cystostomy method is that tetraplegic patients carrying indwelling urethral catheters can lead their daily lives free from a complicated bladder washing technique for preventing bladder stone formation. But under the present condition, this desirable state can only be achieved by patients who have bladder contractility and a urine volume of more than 2,000 ml per day. We recommend the use of small brushes to clean the inserting tubes.
