100 cases of Mainz pouch: continuing experience and evolution.
1988
The surgical technique for creation of the Mainz pouch uses 10 to 15 cm. of cecum and ascending colon and 2 ileal loops of the same length for construction of a urinary reservoir. Initial applications of the Mainz pouch were for bladder augmentation after subtotal cystectomy and for continent urinary diversion. Current indications have been extended to complete bladder substitution after radical cystoprostatectomy with anastomosis of the pouch to the membranous urethra. For cosmetic reasons the umbilicus is used as a stomal site for continent urinary diversion, and the technique of intussuscepting the continence nipple has been modified accordingly. A total of 100 patients underwent a Mainz…
Indications for preoperative prostate biopsy in patients undergoing radical cystoprostatectomy for bladder cancer.
2008
We determined indications for preoperative prostate biopsy in patients undergoing radical cystoprostatectomy for bladder cancer.Of 316 cystoprostatectomy specimens concomitant prostate cancer was diagnosed in 21.5%. Prostate cancer was diagnosed preoperatively in 24% of cases (evident prostate cancer), 32% were suspicious for prostate cancer but no biopsy was done (suspected prostate cancer) and in 44% prostate cancer was incidental. Patients were stratified into probability groups of intermediate/high risk prostate cancer by digital rectal examination and prostate specific antigen. The incidence of unfavorable histopathology was determined in each group.Of prostate cancers 85% were organ c…
Coincident vesical transitional cell carcinoma and prostatic carcinoma. Clinical features and treatment.
1986
Summary— Twenty-two patients with vesical urothelial carcinoma associated with prostatic carcinoma were reviewed. They represented 1.5% of the bladder and prostatic tumours treated in our department within a 12-year period from 1968 to 1979. Their management included several treatment policies, based on the separate assessment of each tumour variant. For non-infiltrating bladder tumours, transurethral tumour resection was combined with hormonal treatment, external radiotherapy or resection of the prostate depending on the stage of the prostatic tumour. Radical cystoprostatectomy was performed for two cases of infiltrating bladder tumour with well localised prostatic tumours. A conservative …
Urethral Tumor Recurrences after Radical Cystoprostatectomy: The Case for Primary Cystoprostatourethrectomy?
1990
Of 273 male patients who underwent radical cystoprostatectomy between 1967 and 1987, 22 were regarded as at risk for urethral recurrence. These patients underwent simultaneous primary urethrectomy or urethrectomy shortly after cystectomy because of the histology of the cystectomy specimen. Of the remaining 251 patients a urethral recurrence was observed in 23 (9.2%). A patient with a urethral recurrence originally had undergone an operation at another hospital. The first urethral tumor recurrence was observed in 1977 but between October 1987 and May 1988, 7 patients were treated for an initial or secondary urethral recurrence. This finding suggests that the rate of urethral recurrence incre…
Radical Surgery in Children and Adolescents with Rhabdomyosarcoma of the Lower Urinary Tract Using Orthotopic Bladder Substitution and Heterotopic Ur…
2008
Abstract Purpose Children with rhabdomyosarcoma(RMS)of the bladder/prostate can be treated by radical or organ sparing surgery both in combination with chemotherapy ± radiation therapy. In this retrospective study we analyzed the outcome with special attention to radical surgery and urinary diversion (UD). Material and Methods 24/32 patients with RMS of the genitourinary tract had RMS of the bladder (n=14) or prostate (n=10). 8 patients were stage II, 11 stage III and 5 stage IV. In 18/24 with RMS of the bladder/prostate, radical surgery and urinary diversion was performed. 3 had chemotherapy only, 2 in combination with radiotherapy. One patient underwent partial cystectomy. For UD: uretero…
