Scopul acestei lucræri este de a prezenta experienfla noastræ iniflialæ în abordul litiazei renale dure voluminoase prin litotritie mixtæ: laser (Ho: Yag) øi balisticæ (Lithoclast). Material øi metodæ. În perioada 1 iunie 2012 - 15 februarie 2013, 27 de pacienfli cu litiazæ renalæ duræ voluminoasæ (calculi coraliformi øi pielici voluminoøi) au beneficiat de nefrolitotomie percutanatæ (NLP) cu litotriflie combinatæ: laser Holmium (Calculase II de 20 W) cu scopul de a scædea rezistenfla calculului, urmatæ apoi de litotriflie balisticæ (Lithoclast Calcusplit). Vârsta medie a pacienflilor a fost de 49 de ani, cu un timp operator mediu de 50 de minute. Mærimea medie a calculului a fost de 4,8 cm. Au fost analizate ratele de fragmentare øi de stone-free, timpul operator øi rata complicafliilor. Rezultate. Rata de fragmentare a fost de 88.8 %, iar rata de stone-free a fost de 81,5 % (100% pentru calculii pielici øi 81.5% pentru calculii coraliformi). Litiaza rezidualæ imediatæ a fost înregistratæ la 5 pacienfli (18.5%). Complicafliile postoperatorii au fost reprezentate de febræ (11.1%), din care 1 pacient a prezentat sepsis. Sângerarea postproceduralæ a fost minoræ øi nu a necesitat transfuzie. Concluzii. Cazurile complexe de litiazæ renalæ impun accesul la mai multe metode de fragmentare. În litiaza renalæ duræ utilizarea doar a unei metode de fragmentare poate conduce la creøterea ratei complicafliilor sau la scæderea ratei de fragmentare øi de stone-free. Sursele de fragmentare trebuie sæ fie utilizate în mod flexibil în funcflie de particularitæflile fiecærui caz în parte, asocierea acestora conducând la rezultate superioare. nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 Combined lithotripsy methods in the management of large hard renal stones 1 1 Litiazæ PM.1.1.

The aim of this study is to present our experience in combined Holmium laser (Ho Yag) and ballistic (Lithoclast) lithotripsy for large renal lithyasis. st th Patients and methods. Between 1 June 2012 – 27 February 2013, 27 patients with large renal lithyasis (complete staghorn and pyelic calculi) underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) with combined lithotripsy: laser Holmium lithotripsy using a 20 W Holmium laser (Storz Calculase II) with the purpose of decreasing the stone resistance followed by ballistic lithotripsy (Lithoclast Calcusplit). The mean age of the patients was 49 years, with a mean operative time of 50 minutes. The mean stone size was 4.8 cm. The stone-free rates and fragmentation rates, operative time and complications were analyzed. Results. The fragmentation rate was 88.8% and the stonefree rate was 81.5% (100% for pyelic stones and 81.5 % for staghorn calculi). Immediate residual lithyasis was recorded in 5 patients (18.5%). Postoperative complications were represented by fever (11.1%), with one patient with urinary sepsis. The bleeding after these interventions was minor; no blood transfusions were required. Conclusions. The complex cases of renal lithiasis require the use of different methods of fragmentation. In large renal lithyasis, the employment of a single method of fragmentation can increase the complication rates or reduce the fragmentation and stone – free rates. The lithotripsy sources must be used in a flexible way depending on the particularities of each case, the association of different methods leading to much better results.

Merticariu, M. Dumitrache, S. Raøcu, A. Rusu, D. Bædescu, V Jinga Clinic of Urology, „Prof. Dr. Th. Burghele” Hospital, Bucharest Introduction: PCNL is an endoscopic procedure used for the treatment of renal calculi greater than 2 cm using a minimum skin incision. The most frequent complications related to the procedure are bleeding, fever, perforation of the urinary tract or adjacent organs, hydrothorax and sepsis. PCNL can be safely used on patients with solitary kidney. Background and Purpose: This paper reviews our 3 year experience with PCNL on 36 patients with preexisting solitary kidney. Patients and Methods: In the study report we included 36 patients with preexisting solitary kidney (congenital or surgically removed) who underwent PCNL in the last 3 years. The following variables were included: prevalence, patient characteristics, surgical technique, mean time of intervention, intra and postoperative complications and the incidence and type of reintervention. Rezultate: Au fost analizate datele provenite de la 36 de pacienti (reprezentând 2% din numærul total de pacienfli la care s-a efectuat NLP în perioada urmæritæ) cu vârsta medie de 58 de ani, dintre care 1/4 cu DZII, 1/3 cu factori de risc cardio-vasculari øi 10% din pacienfli aflafli sub tratament anticoagulant. Aproximativ 1/3 au avut urocultura pozitivæ preoperator, iar raportul calcul non- coraliform vs calcul coraliformi a fost de 2 la 1. La majoritatea pacienflilor s-a practicat Tubeless NLP cu puncflionarea calicelui inferior øi montare de sondæ dublu J. Dilatarea traiectului de puncflie s-a efectuat cu dilatatoare rigide sub control fluoroscopic în toate cazurile. Cele mai frecvente complicaflii intraoperatorii øi postperatorii precoce au fost sângerarea la 5%, febra la 20% din pacienfli remisæ sub tratament convenflional, iar 10% din pacienfli au necesitat ESWL postprocedural. Results: We analyzed the data from 36 patients with preexisting solitary kidney (representing 2% of the total number PCNL’s performed in the last 3 years in our clinic. The mean patient age was 58 years old of which 1/3 had diabetes mellitus, 1/4 had associated cardio-vascular disease,1/3 had positive urine culture and 10% were on anticoagulants prior to surgery. The ratio staghorn calculi vs non-staghorn calculi was 1:2. On the majority of patients we performed Tubeless PCNL with puncture of the inferior calyx and double J uretheral stent placement. The access was performed under radiological control and we used rigid dilators in all cases. The most frequent intra and postoperative complications were bleeding which occurred in 5% of patients and fever in 20% of patients with remision under conventional treatment. The most frequent type of reintervention was ESWL which was performed on 10% of the patients. Concluzii: În ciuda factorilor de risc mai mari comparativ cu pacienflii cu ambii rinichi prezenfli; morbiditatea, mortalitatea øi necesitatea reintervenfliilor aratæ cæ nefrolitotomia percutanatæ se poate efectua în condiflii de siguranflæ în cazul pacienflilor cu rinichi unic. Conclusions: Despite the higher risks in patients with solitary kidney compared with patients having bilateral kidneys, the morbidity, mortality and risk of reintervention demonstrates that PCNL can be safely performed on patients with solitary kidney.

Burghele Clinical Hospital Materiale øi metode: Studiu retrospectiv derulat pe o perioadæ de un an de zile: între 01.01.2012 øi 31.12.2012 ce include 615 pacienfli cu litiazæ renalæ la care s-a practicat NLP. Vârsta medie a pacienflilor a fost de 53,3 ani. Au fost analizate foile de observaflie øi s-au urmærit: caracteristicile pacienflilor, abordul calculului, numærul de traiecte, complicafliile postoperatorii øi durata spitalizærii. Methods: This is a retrospective study over one year, between 01.01.2012 and 31.12.2012. Data from 615 patients treated for renal stones with PCNL were collected. The following parameters were analyzed: patient characteristics, access method, puncture frequency, complications and duration of hospital stay. Rezultate: Repartiflia pe sexe a fost - 58,5% femei øi 41,5% bærbafli. 129 (20,9%) au avut litiazæ coraliformæ øi 486 (79,1%) litiazæ noncoraliformæ. Incidenfla calculilor coraliformi a fost mai mare la femei (23.3%) faflæ de bærbafli (17,6%). Urocultura a fost pozitivæ la 29,4% dintre pacienflii cu litiazæ coraliformæ vs 20,5 %. Au necesitat mai multe traiecte pacienflii cu calcul coraliform (33,3% vs 9,4%). Litiaza restantæ a fost în 37,9% dintre cazurile cu calculi coraliformi vs 10,6%. Spitalizarea medie a fost mai mare în cazul litiazei coraliforme, fiind crescutæ de complicafliile postoperatorii mai frecvente, dar øi de necesitatea unei a doua intervenflii în unele cazuri. Results: Patient average age was 53,3 years old. There were 129 (20,9%) patients with staghorn calculi and 486 (79,1%) with nonstaghorn calculi. Incidence of stagohrn calculi were higher in women (23,3%) comparing to men (17,6%). Positive urine culture was 29,4% in staghorn and 20,5% in nonstaghorn calculi. Patients with staghorn stones underwent multiple punctures more frequently than those with nonstaghorn stones (33,3% vs 9,4%). Stone free rates were 62,1% vs 89.4% (staghorn vs nonstaghorn stones). Duration of hospital stay was longer in patients with staghorn calculi mostly because some of them needed a second intervention. Concluzii: Nefrolitotomia percutanatæ este o proceduræ siguræ în litiaza renalæ. În litiaza renalæ coraliformæ NLP reprezintæ intervenflia de elecflie. Pacienflii cu calculi coraliformi necesitæ de multe ori o a doua intervenflie ceea ce duce la o spitalizare mai lungæ. Conclusions: PCNL is a safe procedure with good results in renal stones treatment and represents first-line treatment in staghorn calculi. Patients with staghorn stones have a longer hospital stay due to more frequent complications and the need for a second procedure. nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 Litiazæ PM.1.3.

Introduction and objectives. Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is the reference technique for the kidney stone pathology. The objectives of this paper are to evaluate the personal initial experience of percutaneous approach for urolithiasis. Material øi metodæ. Studiul retrospectiv s-a efectuat în perioada august 2009-martie 2013. În aceastæ perioadæ am efectuat 565 de intervenflii la nivelul aparatului urinar înalt (495 de NLP øi 70 de nefrostomii percutanate). Toate intervenfliile au fost efectuate în anestezie rahidianæ sau epiduralæ. Nefrostomia percutanatæ a fost pæstratæ pentru 48 de ore la pacienflii cu NLP. Postoperator tofli pacienflii au urmat tratament antibiotic injectabil pe perioada internærii øi 7 zile tratament oral în regim ambulator. Materials and methods. The retrospective study was conducted from August 2009 to March 2013. During this period I performed 565 intervention at the upper urinary tract (495 PCNL and 70 percutaneous nephrostomy). All interventions were performed in spinal or epidural anesthesia. Percutaneous nephrostomy was kept for 48 hours in patients with PCNL. All patients were treated postop with intravenous antibiotic during hospitalization and another 7 days with oral therapy. Rezultate. Un numær de 436 de pacienfli au necesitat o singuræ øedinflæ de NLP, 59 de pacienfli (11,9%) necesitând mai multe øedinfle de NLP si/sau alte tipuri de intervenflii (ureteroscopie, ESWL). Durata medie de spitalizare postoperatorie a fost de 3,8 zile. 4 pacienfli au necesitat intervenflii chirurgicale postoperatorii datoritæ unor complicaflii. Pentru 3 pacienfli s-a practicat laparoscopie exploratorie pentru urohemoperitoneu cu drenaj peritoneal øi retroperitoneal. O pacientæ a necesitat lombotomie cu nefrorafie. Nu au fost cazuri de nefrectomie de hemostazæ sau decese. Results. A total of 436 patients required one session of PCNL, 59 patients (11.9%) requiring several sessions of PCNL and / or other types of interventions (ureteroscopy, ESWL). The average length of hospitalization was 3.8 days. 4 patient required surgery due to complications after PCNL. For 3 patients was performed exploratory laparoscopy for urohaemoperitoneum with peritoneal and retroperitoneal drenage. One patient required lombotomy with renal parenchyma suture. There were no cases of nephrectomy for hemostasis or deaths. Concluzii. Rata complicafliilor precum øi rezultatele postoperatorii sunt comparabile cu cele ale literaturii de specialitate. Conclusions. The rate of postoperative complications and the results are comparable with those of the literature.

Scopul studiului a fost reprezentat de evidenflierea caracteristicilor nefrolitotomiei percutanate practicate în tratamentul litiazei reno-ureterale la pacienflii vârstnici. Introduction. This study aimed to highlight de characteristic of percutaneous nephrolithotomy as treatment for renoureteral lithiasis in elderly patients. Material øi metode. A fost efectuat un studiu descriptiv øi retrospectiv în care au fost incluøi pacienflii vârstnici, internafli în perioada 1.01.2012-31.12.2012, cu litiaza reno-ureteralæ pentru care s-a practicat nefrolitotomie percutanatæ. Am definit ca pacienfli vârstnici pe cei cu vârsta mai mare sau egalæ cu 70 de ani la data intervenfliei chirurgicale. Au fost studiate comorbiditæflile, caracterele litiazei, aspecte ale intervenfliei chirurgicale øi evoluflia postoperatorie. Materials and methods. A descriptive and retrospective study was performed. It included elderly patients admitted from 01.01.2012 to 31.12.2012 diagnosed with reno-ureteral lithiasis and treated by percutaneous nephrolithotomy. Elderly patients were considered those 70 years old and more. We studied comorbidities, stone type and location, intervention and postoperative characteristics. Rezultate. Au fost efectuate un numær de 61 de nefrolitotomii percutanate la vârstnici în cele 12 luni studiate, reprezentând 9,91% din numærul total de 615 efectuate. Vârsta medie în lotul studiat a fost de 74,26±3,04 ani. Durata medie a internærii postoperatorii la aceøti pacienfli a fost de 7,10 zile foarte apropiatæ de a pacienflilor cu vârste mai mici, de 6,84 zile. O pætrime din calculii întâlnifli la aceastæ categorie de vârstæ au fost coraliformi. Cu excepflia pacienflilor care au necesitat un al doilea timp operator, la care s-a montat drenaj urinar extern între intervenflii, s-a practicat în exclusivitate drenajul urinar intern postoperator. Litiazæ PM.1.5. Caracteristici ale nefrolitotomiei percutanate la pacienflii vârstnici Results. 61 percutaneous nephrolithotomies were performed, representing 9,91 % of the total of 615 performed during the 12 months. Average age was 74,26±3,04 years. Mean postoperative admission time was 7,10 days close to the 6,84 days in younger patients. Staghorn calculi represent a quarter of all lithiasis found in this group. Postoperative external urinary drainage was only used for patients that required additional percutaneous nephrolithotomies. We have used internal urinary drainage for all the other patients. Conclusions. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy in elderly patients is similar to that in younger ones. Comorbidities may slow postoperative recovery at elderly patients. Concluzii. Nefrolitotomia percutanatæ la pacienflii vârstnici are rezultate comparabile cu cele întâlnite la pacienflii mai tineri.

Porav, R. Boja, S. Nedelcu, Orsolya Martha UMF Târgu Mureø, Clinic of Urology, County Hospital, Department of Urology Introduction and objectives. PCNL represent the main indication for patients with kidney stones, even in the presence of various comorbidities. In our clinic open surgery for this pathology is less than 0.5% of all procedures for renal stones. The objective of this paper is to assess the safety and efficacy of this procedure in patients over 70 years. Material and methods. A retrospective study was performed for a period of 16 years (1997-2012), A totally of 323 patients entered in this study (162 women, 161 men), aged over 70 with renal stones They were treated endoscopically by PCNL or anterograde ureteroscopy. 85 patients (26.31%) had comorbidities that were preoperatively diagnosed and treated where necessary. Results. Overall status of „stone free“ at the end of surgery was present in 263 patients (81.42%). 60 patients (18.58%) had residual fragments. Residual stones were solved by a new PCNL session, spontaneous elimination or ESWL. The most common complications were bleeding and infection. We had no deaths. No hemostasis nephrectomy was necessary. Conclusions. Recognized preoperative comorbidities do not represent risk factors in elderly patients, but it requires a rigorous evaluation in the preoperative period. The number, size and complexity calculation directly influences the state „stone free“ at the end of surgery. nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 Improving the lifespan of the flexible ureteroscopes R.

Au fost analizate metodele de prelungire a duratei de viaflæ a modelului Storz Flex-Xc. Introduction: Improved durability, miniaturization and going digital were the development goals for flexible ureteroscopes. We aimed to analyze the Storz Flex-Xc model and to highlight methods to increase its lifespan. Material øi metodæ: În perioada Mai-Decembrie 2012 au fost analizate ureteroscopiile flexibile realizate cu douæ astfel de ureteroscoape flexibile (douæ grupuri). Relocarea calculilor din calicele inferior a fost realizatæ ori de câte ori posibil. În cea de a doua serie, teaca de acces ureteral a fost retrasæ în bloc cu endoscopul, pentru a preveni deteriorarea pærflii distale a acestuia. Methods: Betweend May-December 2012, flexible ureteroscopic procedures performed with two Storz Flex-Xc were analyzed. The patients were divided in two groups, one for each endoscope. Relocation of the lower pole stones was performed in all cases when possible. In the second series the access sheath was retracted together with the flexible ureteroscope to prevent the damages it may inflict on the endoscope. Rezultate: Au fost realizate 247 proceduri (229 pacienfli): 96 proceduri (90 pacienfli) în primul grup øi 151 proceduri (139 pacienfli) în al doilea grup. Teaca de acces ureteral a fost utilizatæ în 72% din cazuri. Primul endoscop a fost utilizat pentru 67,1 ore (timp procedural mediu de 8 minute pentru cele diagnostice øi 45 minute pentru cele terapeutice) în timp ce al doilea a fost utilizat 107,7 ore (timp procedural mediu 10 minute pentru cele diagnostice øi 49 de minute pentru cele terapeutice). Calculii caliceali inferiori au fost prezenfli în 36,7% din cazuri din primul grup (27,7% fiind relocafli) øi în 38,8% din grupul al doilea (33,1% fiind relocafli). Reparaflii majore au fost necesare dupæ deteriorarea înveliøului exterior, respectiv deteriorarea sistemului de deflexie. Results: 247 procedures were performed on 229 patients: first group with 96 procedures (90 patients) and second group of 151 procedures (139 patients). Ureteral access sheath was used in 72% of the cases. The first endoscope was used for 67.1 hours (mean procedural time of 8 minutes for diagnostic and 45 minutes for therapeutic ones) while the second lasted for 107.7 hours (mean procedural time of 10 minutes for diagnostic and 49 minutes for therapeutic ones). Lower pole stone were recorded in 36.7% of patients of the first group (27.7% being relocated), and in 38.8% of the second group (33.1% being relocated). Major repairs were needed after damages of the outer coating and deterioration of the deflecting mechanism, respectively. Concluzii: Flex-Xc pare un ureteroscop flexibil durabil. Utilizarea tecii de acces ureteral øi evitarea suprasolicitærii mecanismului de deflexie prin relocarea calculilor caliceali inferiori pare sæ aibæ un aport semnificativ în relungirea duratei de viaflæ a acestor endoscoape costisitoare. Conclusions: Storz Flex-Xc seems to be a durable flexible ureteroscope. Use of ureteral access sheath and avoidance of overstressing the deflection mechanism by relocating lower pole stones offers a substantial advantage in prolonging the lifespan of these expensive instruments. nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 Litiazæ PM.1.7.

Au fost studiate comparativ trei dintre ultimele modele de ureteroscoape flexible. Introduction: A continuous struggle to improve durability, visibility and maneuverability of the flexible ureteroscopes was undergone during the last decades. We aimed to comparatively study three of the latest models of flexible ureteroscopes. Material øi metodæ: Karl Storz Flex-Xc, Olympus URF-Vo and Wolf Cobra au fost evaluate pe parcursul a 90 de proceduri, câte 20 terapeutice øi câte 10 diagnostice pentru fiecare din ele. Uøurinfla inserfliei, manevrabilitatea øi vizibilitatea în cursul fiecærei proceduri au fost notate de la 1 la 5. Fluxul irigafliei øi deflexiunea maximæ au fost mæsurate ex vivo, cu canalul de lucru gol, respectiv cu instrumente accesorii inserate. Durabilitatea endoscoapelor a fost de asemenea evaluatæ. Methods: Karl Storz Flex-Xc, Olympus URF-Vo and Wolf Cobra were evaluated during 90 procedures, 20 therapeutic for pyelocaliceal lithiasis and 10 diagnostic for each one. Ease of insertion, maneuverability and visibility during each procedure were scored from 1 to 5 and compared, while the irrigation flow and maximal deflection was measured in an ex vivo setting, with an empty working channel and with accessory instruments in place. Instruments durability was also reviewed. Rezultate: Toate modelele au demonstrat o bunæ manevrabilitate, cu un uøor avantaj pentru Flex-Xc. În procedurile diagnostice, întregul sistem pielo-caliceal nu a putut accesat în 2 cazuri de cætre URF-Vo (tije caliceale subfliri) øi într-un caz de Cobra (arhitecturæ calicealæ complexæ). Modelele digitale au obflinut un scor similar pentru vizibilitate, mai mare decât Cobra. Pierderea deflexiei øi a irigafliei la inserflia diferitelor instrumente accesorii a fost similaræ la toate modelele, Cobra oferind totuøi irigaflie suplimentaræ prin canalul secundar. Pierderea deflexiei maxime în timp a fost de 5% pentru URF-Vo, 9% pentru FlexXc øi 10% pentru Cobra. Calitatea imaginii modelelor digitale a ræmas neschimbatæ, în timp ce la Cobra au fost înregistrate 58 de fibre optice rupte. Results: All models demonstrated good maneuverability, with a slight advantage for Flex-Xc. During diagnostic procedures, failure to access the entire pyelocaliceal system occurred in 2 cases for URF-Vo, both due to thin caliceal infundibulum, and in 1 case for Cobra, due to complex caliceal architecture. Regarding visibility, while the performances of the digital models were similar, Cobra achieved a lower score. Loss of deflection and irrigation when using ancillary instruments was similar for all endoscopes, but Cobra offered supplementary flow through a secondary channel. Mean deflection loss was 5% for URFVo, 9% for Flex-Xc and 10% for Cobra. The visual quality of the digital models remained unchanged during study, but in the fiberoptic ureteroscope 58 optic fibers broke. Concluzii: Ultimele modele de ureteroscoape flexibile se dovedesc instrumente eficiente în intervenfliile destinate cæii urinare superioare, cu un avantaj în ceea ce priveøte vizibilitatea pentru cele digitale. Conclusions: The latest models of flexible ureteroscopes prove to be effective instruments for upper urinary tract endoscopic interventions, with an advantage regarding visibility for the digital ones.

Introduction: Pyelocaliceal calculi flexible ureteroscopic approach raises problems related with operative time, associated morbidity and costs, especially by potential endoscope damage. Material øi metodæ: Au fost analizate 5 serii de câte 20 de pacienfli cu litiazæ pielocalicealæ unicæ: Grupul I cu calculi < 1 cm fragmentafli „dust”, Grupul II cu calculi < 1 cm cu litotriflie în fragmente, Grupul III cu calculi între 1-2 cm fragmentafli „dust”, Grupul IV cu calculi între 1-2 cm cu litotriflie în fragmente, Grupul V cu calculi între 1-2 cm la care s-a practicat litotriflie “dust” pânæ la 1 cm dupæ care litotriflie în fragmente extractabile. În toate cazurile a fost utilizat un ureteroscop flexibil Storz Flex-Xc øi un laser Ho:YAG. Methods: 5 series, each of 20 patients with single pyelocaliceal lithiasis were analyzed: Group I with calculi < 1 cm fragmented to dust, Group II with calculi < 1 cm with lithotripsy in fragments, Group III with calculi of 1-2 cm fragmented to dust, Group IV with calculi of 1-2 cm with lithotripsy in fragments, Group V with calculi of 1-2 cm fragmented to dust until they reached 1 cm, and lithotripsy in fragments afterwards. In all cases were used a flexible Story Flex-Xc ureteroscope and Ho:YAG lithotripsy. Rezultate: Teaca de acces ureteral a fost utilizatæ în 70% din cazuri. Volumul mediu al calculilor în grupul I vs. II, respectiv în grupurile II, III øi IV au fost similare. Rata de succes a procedurilor a fost statistic similaræ în cele 5 grupuri. Timpii operatori medii au fost de 39 minute în grupul I, 21 minute în grupul II, 112 minute în grupul III, 72 minute în grupul IV, 51 minute în grupul V. Au fost înregistrate complicaflii minore în 7 cazuri øi o singuræ complicaflie majoræ, în Grupul IV. Results: Ureteral access sheath was used in 70% of the cases. Mean stone volume in groups I and II, and groups II, IV and V were similar. Success rate in all groups was statistically similar. Mean operating time was 39 min in group I, 21 min in Group II, 112 min in group III, 72 min in group IV and 51 min in group V. Minor complications occurred in 7 cases, while a single major complication occurred in group IV. Concluzii: Metoda cea mai eficientæ de litotriflie a calculilor sub 1 cm pare a fi în fragmente extractabile. Pentru calculii voluminoøi metoda este utilæ distrucflia în „dust” pânæ la 1 cm, apoi litotriflia putând fi realizatæ în fragmente. nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 Litiazæ PM.1.9. Litotriflia laser intracorporealæ „dust” vs. fragmente extractabile în tratamentul litiazei renale Conclusions: The optimal lithotripsy method of calculi < 1 cm seems to be in extractable fragments. Larger calculi should be fragmented to dust until they reach 1 cm and then the lithotripsy should be continued into extractable fragments. Revista Românæ de Urologie 11 Litiazæ PM.1.10.

Geavlete Department of Urology, “Saint John” Emergency Clinical Hospital, Bucharest Introducere. Tehnica ESWL este de obicei perceputæ de pacienfli ca fiind non-invazivæ, devenind astfel prima opfliune în tratamentul litiazei renale. Scopul acestui studiu este sæ compare prospectiv ESWL øi ureteroscopia flexibilæ cu litotriflie cu Ho:Laser în tratamentul litiazei renale. Introduction: SWL is usually perceived by the patients as non-invasive, tending to become the first option for renal stones. Our study aims to prospectively compare SWL with flexible uretheroscopy with Ho:Laser lithotripsy for the treatment of renal lithiasis. Material øi metodæ. Între Ianuarie 2012 øi Ianuarie 2013, 85 pacienfli au fost tratafli prin ureteroscopie flexibilæ, iar 81 pacienfli au fost tratafli prin ESWL, pentru litiazæ renalæ cu diametru maxim de 3 cm. Pacienflii au fost ulterior împærflifli în douæ subgrupe, în funcflie de dimensiunea calculului: 96 cazuri cu pietre sub 1 cm, iar 71 au avut calculi peste 1 cm. Analiza statisticæ a comparat ESWL øi ureteroscopia în cele douæ grupe, urmærind rata de stone-free, timpul operator øi incidenfla complicafliilor. Materials and Methods: Between January 2012 and January 2013, 85 patients underwent flexible ureteroscopy with Ho:Laser lithotripsy and other 81 patients were treated by SWL for renal stones with a maximum diameter of 3cm. The patients were further divided into two groups, according to the size of the stone – 96 cases had stones less than 1 cm, other 71 had stones over 1 cm. The statistical analysis compared SWL and ureteroscopy in the two groups, looking at stone free rate, operative time and complications. Rezultate. Rata globalæ de succes dupæ o singuræ proceduræ a fost de 87% dupæ ureteroscopie øi 55 % dupæ ESWL. Dupæ a doua proceduræ, rata de stone-free a crescut la 98% dupæ ureteroscopie øi 72 % dupæ ESWL. Timpul operator mediu a fost de 24(±7) min dupæ ESWL øi 46(±17) min dupæ uretroscopie. Rata globalæ a complicafliilor nu a avut diferenfle semnificative statistic între cele douæ tehnici. În grupul pacienflilor cu calculi sub 1 cm, cele douæ tehnici au avut rate de succes similare (95%, respectiv 96%), iar timpii operatori au fost asemnænætori. În cel de-al doilea grup, ESWL a avut rate de succes inferioare uretroscopiei flexibile. Results: The overall success rate after one procedure was 87% for ureteroscopy and 55% for SWL. After the second procedure, the stone free rate was 98% for uretheroscopy and 72% for SWL. The mean operating time was 24(±7) min for SWL and 46(±17) min for ureteroscopy. The overall complication rate showed no statistical significant differences between groups or techniques. In the group of stones under 1cm diameter, SWL and ureteroscopy showed similar success rates (95% and 96% respectively) and operating times. In the other group, SWL had significantly lower success rates. Concluzii. Ambele tehnici au demonstrat un profil de siguranflæ foarte bun, dar uretroscopia oferæ o mai bunæ ratæ de stone-free øi un timp mai scurt pânæ la eliminarea completæ a calculului, în condifliile unei spitalizæri de duratæ mai lungæ. ESWL ræmâne mai ieftin øi foarte potrivit ca proceduræ ambulatorie. Conclusions: While both techniques are safe, flexible ureteroscopy offers a higher stone free rate and a shorter time until complete removal of the stone, with a longer hospital stay. SWL seems less expensive and very suitable as an outpatient procedure. Revista Românæ de Urologie nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 M. Dumitrache, M. Merticariu, S. Raøcu, A. Rusu, D. Bædescu, V.

Bædescu, V Jinga Clinic of Urology, „Prof. Dr. Th. Burghele” Hospital, Bucharest Introduction. Renal colic during pregnancy represents a diagnostic challenge for the urologist, due to the mutagen risk of fetal exposure to X-rays. Medical and surgical treatment alike, present risks for the fetus and the mother. Materials and method. 22 cases of renal colic during pregnancy, admitted in our clinic between 2010 and 2013, were retrospectively analyzed. We analyzed the mean gestational age, the sensibility of ultrasound as a diagnostic tool, laboratory findings associated, level of the obstruction and therapeutic approach. Results. The mean gestational age was 22.36 weeks (second trimester). Ultrasound correctly identified the stone and it’s location, the degree of distension and characteristics of the content of the urinary tract. In 7 cases, medical therapy and follow-up was sufficient. 10 patients (45%) had obstruction and associated UTI. Urinary drainage, either by JJ stent insertion or nephrostomy, was performed in 12 patients. In 1 case the pain was determined by a UPJ obstruction, which was discovered by ultrasound examination and confirmed by IVP postpartum. Conclusions. Ultrasound is the method of choice for investigating renal colic during pregnancy, because it represents no risk for the fetus. Conservatory management is the first choice, but endoscopic treatment is also feasible in complicated cases and for those patients in which conservatory management fails. Patients need to be reevaluated throughout pregnancy. Completion of the urological treatment sould be attempted postpartum. Revista Românæ de Urologie 13 Litiazæ PM.1.12.

Georgescu, R. Mulflescu, V. Mirciulescu, B. Geavlete, E. Alexandrescu, V. Iordache, P. Geavlete Department of Urology, “Saint John” Emergency Clinical Hospital, Bucharest Introduction: Urolithiasis during pregnancy remains both a diagnostic and treatment challenge. The aim of the study was to assess the results of minimally invasive alternatives in pregnant women with obstructive ureteral calculi. Material & Methods: Between January 2006 and January 2012, in our clinical department, 54 pregnant women underwent active treatment for ureteral lithiasis and in 38 of these cases ureteroscopy was applied as definitive therapy. The average patients’ age was 27.2 years (range 20-37 years) and the gestation period varied between 12 to 35 weeks. In this series, 38 patients had microscopic hematuria, 18 leucocituria and 6, urinary tract infection. Semirigid ureteroscopy was the first choice alternative for the first 2 trimesters while flexible approach or double J indwelling were preferred for patients in the last trimester of pregnancy. Regional anesthesia was used in 42 cases and general anesthesia in 12 patients. Results: Semirigid ureteroscopy allowed stone treatment in 28/32 cases. In 17 patients, calculi fragmentation using Ho:YAG laser or ballistic lithotripsy were performed, while in 11 cases, the stone was removed intact. Minor intraoperative complications such as ureteral edema, mild ureteral laceration, or bleeding were encountered in 5 patients. Postoperatively, urinary tract infection developed in 4 patients, renal colic in 2 and prolonged hematuria in one case, while 4 patients complained of stent-induced bladder irritation. Flexible ureteroscopy was successfully completed in all patients. There were no complications related to this procedure. All pregnancies were carried out to full term. Conclusions: Ureteroscopy with intracorporeal pneumatic or holmium laser lithotripsy may be considered a safe and effective first-line definitive therapeutic option in pregnant patients requiring intervention for stone disease. nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 Is it necessary to stent after ballistic/laser shock wave lithotriptoscopy?

Methods: A retrospective review of medical records of 75 patients with ureteral, vesical and urethral calculi, operated between 1998-2011, in “M. S. Curie” Children Hospital, Bucharest, was conducted; 50 patients came for the checkup. Rezultate: În aceastæ perioadæ, 53 de pacienfli cu calculi uretrali, 16 pacienfli cu calculi ai vezicii urinare øi 6 pacienfli cu calculi uretral au fost tratafli utilizând aceastæ proceduræ endoscopicæ. Copiii au vârste cuprinse între 6.8 - 16.5 ani. În caz de localizare ureteralæ bilateralæ am realizat litotriflie în douæ etape, a doua dupæ o perioadæ de douæ sæptæmâni. Tratamentul medical conservator a fost ineficient în toate aceste cazuri. Nu au fost incidente sau accidente grave în timpul sau dupæ proceduræ. Dimensiunea calculilor a variat între 1.2-3.5 cm în diametru. Stent Cook a fost utilizat la primii 21 de pacienfli cu calculi ureteral øi a fost scos dupæ 18-21 de zile ca o proceduræ în ambulatoriu. La tofli pacienflii s-a pus sonda urinaræ timp de 1-2 zile. Perioada de spitalizare a fost de 3-4 zile. Profilaxie antibioticæ s-a fæcut prin administrarea unei singure doze în timpul funcflionærii. Pentru localizæri urterale, timpul de intervenflie mediu a fost de 45 de minute øi a variat de la 75 minute (în primele cazuri) la 25 de minute ulterior. Results: In this period, 53 patients with ureteral calculi, 16 patients with vesical calculi and 6 patients with urethral calculi underwent this endoscopic procedure. Children were aged between 6.8-16.5 years. In case of ureteral bilateral localization we realized two step lithotripsy, the second after 2 weeks period. The medical conservative treatment was inefficient in all those cases. There were not significant incidents or accidents, during or after the procedure. The size of the calculi ranged between 1.2-3.5 cm in diameter. The Cook stent was placed in the first 21 patients with ureteral calculi and took out after 18-21 days, as an outpatient procedure. In all patients a bladder catheter was placed for 12 days. We registered a hospitalization period of 3-4 days. One single dose prophylactic antibiotherapy was administrated during the operation. For urteral localizations, the mean operating time was 45 minutes and varied from 75 minutes for the first cases to 25 minutes for the last ones. Concluzii: Aceastæ tehnicæ este o metodæ siguræ øi eficientæ de tratament a litiazei tractului urinar ce poate fi consideratæ o alternativæ mai ieftinæ faflæ de ESWL.

Introduction. Kidney stones, both in its simple and its complex form, presents a challenge for the practicing urologist, for it is common knowledge that medical treatments are auxiliary on one hand, while on the other hand, minimal invasive interventions or even non-invasive ones that in the present time solve most of kidney stone cases, have evolved, open surgery keeps on maintaining a place in the terapeuthical arsenal. Material øi metodæ: Studiul se bazeazæ pe experienfla Clinicii de Urologie Oradea øi confline exemplificarea a 6 cazuri de litiaza renalæ, uni sau bilateralæ, simplæ sau complexæ, calcul coraliform, litiazæ multiplæ în care tehnica chirurgicalæ abordatæ a fost diferitæ. Materials and method. This study is based upon the experience of the Urology Clinic of Oradea, and gives 6 different kidney stone cases, be it unilateral or bilateral, simple or complex, coraliform or multiple stones, the surgical technique employed beeing different from case to case. Rezultate: Caz 1: Litiazæ coraliformæ bilateralæ pentru care sau practicat intervenflii minim invazive, ESWL øi NLP în mai multe øedinfle operatorii, în decursul a patru luni. Caz 2: Calcul coraliform RD, RS operat în antecedente, caz în care sa practicat intervenflie deschisæ. Caz 3: Calcul pielic de 1 cm, care nu a putut fi fragmentat prin ESWL, se practicæ NLP, cu reuøitæ la a doua tentativæ. Caz 4: Litiazæ renalæ dreaptæ multiplæ, cu un NLP pe partea stângæ în urmæ cu 7 luni, cu restanfle multiple caliceale neobstructive, la care se decide oportunæ intervenflia deschisæ. Caz 5: Calcul coraliform bilateral, rinichi stâng cu aspect de rinichi mic, compromis morfofuncflional, pentru care se practicæ NLP pe partea dreaptæ øi nefrectomie stângæ. Caz 6: Litiaza multiplæ bilateralæ, obstructivæ pe partea dreaptæ, la o pacientæ cu obezitate morbidæ øi la care se practicæ NLP drept. Results. 1st Case: Bilateral coraliform stone, needed minimal invasive interventions such as ESWL (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy) and NLP (Percutaneous NephroLithotomy), in multiple surgical sessions, in a 4-month time frame. 2nd Case: RD Coraliform stone, RS previously had surgery, the case required open surgery. 3rd Case: A pyelic stone, 1 cm in diameter, which couldn’t be destroyed through ESWL, required NLP, the second attempt being successful. 4th Case: Right multiple kidney stones, NLP on the left side 7 moths earlier, multiple non obstructive caliceal stone remnants, open surgery is considered appropriate. 5th Case: Bilateral coraliform stone, left kidney smaller in size, morphofunctionaly compromised, requires NLP treatment on the right side and a nephrectomy procedure on the left side. 6th Case: Multiple bilateral stones, with obstruction on the right side, at a morbidly obese pacient, requires a right side NLP procedure. Concluzii. Nu tratæm litiaza renalæ, tratæm pacient litiazic. Atitudinea chirurgicalæ pe care o decidem este dictatæ de antecedentele urologice ale pacientului, prognosticul urologic al pacientului, afecfliunile asociate, de aceea, varianta aleasæ poate fi de multe ori dificilæ øi controversatæ. Conclusions. We treat the kidney stone-pacient, not the kidney stones.

The aim of this study is to present our initial experience in semirigid ureteroscopy with Holmium laser lithotripsy in patients with ureteral lithiasis. st th Patients and methods. Between 1 July 2012 – 15 February 2013, 57 patients (group 1)diagnosed with ureteral calculi underwent semirigid ureteroscopy and lithotripsy with 20 W Holmium laser Calculase II . The mean age was 46 years, the mean operative time was 35 minutes and the mean stone diameter was 9,2 mm (range 6-20 mm). The operative time, complications, the stone free-rates and the stone migration rates for ureteral calculi with different locations were analyzed by comparing them with a group of patients with ureteral lithiasis who underwent semirigid ureteroscopy with ballistic lithotripsy (group 2). Results. The stone-free rate for patients who underwent Holmium laser lithotripsy was 79,5 % (95% for distal ureteral calculi and 64% for proximal ureteral stones) comparative with 78% for group 2, while the stone migration rate was 4% for the group 1 and 16% in group 2. There were no significant statistic differences regarding the operative time and intraoperative complications between the two groups. The postoperative complications were represented by (4%), postprocedural pain (9%), hematuria (10,5%), pyelonephritis (3,5%) and urinary sepsis (1,75%). Conclusions. Semirigid ureteroscopy with Holmium laser lithotripsy is a safe and efficient method for the treatment of ureteral calculi. Furthermore, this method has a lower stone migration rate by comparison with semirigid ureteroscopy with ballistic lithotripsy. Revista Românæ de Urologie 17 Litiazæ PM.1.16.

The retroperitoneal urinoma following a ureteral obstruction is a rare complication. It is caused by the hiperpression in the urinary system during the renal colic. Case presentation. We present the case of a 60 years old patient with a retroperitoneal urine accumulation after a renal colic. Usually, in other cases, the urinoma remained perirenal, but in this case the localization of the fluid was mostly along the ureter, to the pelvic area. Therefore, the diagnosis was difficult and needed a CT examination. An ureteral stent was placed beside a pelvic stone. The postoperative ultrasonography showed no ureterohydronephrosis and no fluid accumulation. Conclusions. The ureteral stenting proves to be an efficient method for managing the spontaneous urinoma in renal colic. Concluzii. Urinomul spontan, ce însofleøte colica renalæ se rezolvæ eficient prin montarea unui stent ureteral. 18 Revista Românæ de Urologie nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 S. Badi, A. Drocaø, G. Mitroi, R.

Calculii urinari sunt descoperifli foarte rar în uretra femininæ, pufline cazuri fiind citate în literatura de specialitate. Localizarea uretralæ reprezintæ mai puflin de 1% din localizærile calculilor în cadrul bolii litiazice. Introduction: We report an interesting clinical case of giant urinary lithiasis, discovered on a 77-year old woman with acute urinary retention. Urinary calculi are extremely rare in the female urethra and only a few cases have been reported previously. Urethral localization represents less than 1% of all urinary stone diseases. Material øi metodæ: Pacienta S.I., în vârstæ de 77 ani, færæ antecedente urologice semnificative, cunoscutæ cu intervenflie chirurgicalæ ortopedicæ la nivelul MI stâng urmatæ de clinostatism prelungit în ultimii 5 ani, cu multiple afecfliuni cardiorespiratorii neglijate, se prezintæ în serviciul de urgenflæ cu stare generalæ influenflatæ, acuzând dureri hipogastrice, imposibilitatea de a urina. Pacienta avea istoric de simptomatologie de tip iritativ neglijatæ, færæ antecedente de intervenflie chirurgicalæ la nivelul perineului sau în sfera genitalæ. La examenul clinic local se constatæ la nivelul meatului uretral o formafliune duræ la palpare, gælbuie, obstructivæ, palpabilæ si la TV; vezica urinaræ palpabilæ în hipogastru, percutabilæ, dureroasæ la palpare (glob vezical). Radiografia renovezicalæ simplæ relevæ calcul voluminos de aproximativ 7/4cm, ovalar blocat la nivelul uretrei. VU destinsæ de volum cu aproximarea unui volum de 400cm3. Se monteazæ cistostomie suprapubianæ. Material and method: The patient S.I., aged 77 years, with no significant urological history, known to have undergone orthopedic surgery at the left lower limb level, followed by prolonged supine position in the last 5 years, with multiple neglected cardio-respiratory diseases, came to the emergency service with altered general state, accusing hypogastric pains, impossibility to urinate. The patient had a history of neglected irritative bladder symptoms, with no history of surgery at perineum level or genital area. On local examination we found, at the level of the urethral meatus, a formation hard on palpation, yellowish, obstructive, also palpable on VT; bladder is palpable in hypogastrium, tappable, painful on palpation (bladder globe). Reno bladder radiography reveals a large calculus of about 7/4 cm, oval, blocked at urethra level. The bladder is increased in volume with the approximation of a volume of 400 cm3. Suprapubic cystostomy is installed. Rezultate: Dupæ echilibrare hemodinamicæ, cardio-respiratorie øi managementul afecfliunilor asociate în clinica de TI, sub rahianestezie se practicæ uretrolitotomie cu extragerea unui calcul de 62/39/35 mm. Nu se descoperæ diverticuli la nivelul uretrei. Se monteazæ SUV Foley pentru 21 zile. Evoluflie postoperatorie favorabilæ, reluarea micfliunilor cu un grad mic de incontinenflæ dupæ suprimarea SUV. Analiza chimicæ a calcului a evidenfliat calcul cu compoziflie multiplæ: fosfat amoniaco-magnezian, fosfat de calciu øi urat. Results: After hemodynamic and cardio-respiratory balancing and the clinical management of the associated disorders in the ATI Department, under spinal anesthesia we have performed urethral lithotomy and extracted a calculus of 62/39/35 mm. No urethral diverticula are found. Foley SUV is fit in for 21 days. The postoperative evolution is favorable, urination is resumed with a low degree of incontinence after the suppression of the SUV. The chemical analysis of the calculus composition revealed a calculus with multiple compositions: ammoniamagnesium phosphate, calcium phosphate and uric acid. Concluzii: Calculii uretrali pot fi luafli în considerare ca o cauzæ de retenflie acutæ de urinæ la femei. Aceøtia se pot dezvolta local inclusiv în absenfla unei patologii asociate (strictura, diverticul), dar favorizatæ de anumifli factori secundari (clinostatism prelungit, sensibilitate localæ redusæ, intervenflii chirurgicale). Conclusions: Urethral calculi can be considered as a cause of acute urinary retention in women. They can develop locally, even in the absence of associated pathologies (stricture, diverticula), but favored by certain secondary factors (extended supine position, reduced local sensitivity, surgery). nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 Litiazæ PM.1.17.

Introduction. ESWL has revolutionized the treatment of upper urinary tract calculi and is considered the first-line therapy for more than 75% of the patients with urolithiasis but it has been intuitively connected to various complications. These are mostly related to residual stone fragments, infections, and other effects on tissues such as urinary, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, genital, and reproductive systems. The destructive forces generated when cavitation bubbles collapse are ultimately responsible for stone fragmentation, however, they can also cause trauma to thinwalled vessels in the kidneys and adjacent tissues. Obiective. Studiul nostru îøi propune sæ analizeze rata complicafliilor ESWL, având în vedere numærul øi frecvenfla undelor de øoc. Objective. Our study aims to analyze ESWL complications rates, considering the shock waves number and frequency. Metodæ. Studiul a fost realizat pe o perioadæ de 24 de luni øi a inclus 344 de pacienfli cu calculi la nivelul tractului urinar. Tofli pacienflii au fost tratafli prin ESWL, 167 cu o frecvenflæ a undei de øoc de 120 pe minut, cu un numær mediu de unde de øoc 3697 ± 378, intensitate medie a undei de øoc a fost de 4,8 ± 0,9 kV( primul lot). Pentru 177 de pacienfli am folosit o frecvenflæ mai micæ a undei de øoc 60 pe minut øi numærul mediu 2819 ± 980, cu o intensitate medie de 5,7 ± 0,6 kV (al doilea lot). Method. The study was conducted over a 24 months period and included 344 patients with upper urinary tract calculi. All patients underwent ESWL, 167 with a shock wave frequency of 120 shock waves per minute, with an average number of shock waves of 3697 ± 378 and shock wave average intensity was 4.8 ± 0.9 kV (first group). For 177 patients we used a lower shock wave frequency (60 per minute) and number (2819 ± 980) with an average intensity of 5.7 ± 0.6 kV (second group). Rezultate. Nu au existat diferenfle semnificative statistic între cele douæ grupuri în ceea ce priveøte vârsta, sexul, locul de origine, simptome clinice sau antecedente personale, locaflie sau numær. Procentele complicafliilor au fost mai mici în al doilea grup, comparativ cu primul grup, dupæ cum urmeazæ: hematuria 13 (7,3%) în al doilea lot, faflæ de 32 (19,2%) în primul, deteriorarea flesuturilor superficiale (echimoze/peteøii) 35 (19,8%) faflæ de 62 (37,1%), dureri lombare 21 (11,9%) øi 38 Results. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups regarding age, sex, place of origin, clinical symptoms or presence of stone history, stone location or number. Complications rates were lower in the second group compared with the first group, as follows: macrohematuria 13 (7.3%) and 32 (19.2%) in the first group, superficial tissues damage 35 (19.8%) and 62 (37.1%), lumbar pain 21 (11.9%) and 38 (22.8%), nausea 8 (4.5%) and 22 Revista Românæ de Urologie nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 Litiazæ (22,8%), greaflæ 8 (4,5%) øi 22 (13,2%).

Other complications were similar, fever 3 (1.7%) and 2 (1.2%), larger residual fragments that lead to steinstrasse 16 (9.0%) and 19 (11.4%). Concluzii. Scæderea numærului, a frecvenflei øi a intensitæflii undelor de øoc pot îmbunætæfli siguranfla ESWL, reducând incidenfla hematuriei, deteriorarea flesuturilor superficiale, dureri lombare, greaflæ. Pot fi luate mæsuri preventive pentru a reduce frecvenfla acestor efecte secundare. Litotritoarele moderne sunt din ce în ce mai uøor de folosit, tratamentul este doar moderat dureros, dar selectarea pacienflilor øi optimizarea protocoalelor de tratament sunt necesare pentru a maximiza procentajul de „stone-free” øi a minimiza efectele secundare. Conclusion. Decrease of shock wave number, rate and energymay improve ESWL safety, reducing the incidence of macrohematuria, superficial tissues damage, lumbar pain, nausea. Preventive measures can be taken to minimize the frequency of these side effects. Modern lithotripters are optimized to be user friendly, and treatment is only moderately painful, but patient selection and an optimized treatment protocols are necessary to maximize stone-free rate and to minimize side effects. nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 Revista Românæ de Urologie 21 Litiazæ PM.1.19.

Originea acestei hipercalciurii este, deocamdatæ, neclaræ. Introduction and Objectives. Patients subjected to relapsing kidney lithiasis frequently have an increased urinary calcium excretion, even in the absence of primary hyperparathyroidism. The origin of this hypercalciuria is, however, unclear. Material øi Metodæ. Pentru a investiga particularitæflile metabolismului osos la pacienflii cu litiazæ renalæ am imaginat un studiu transversal unde, pacienflii cu litiazæ recidivatæ au fost comparafli în ceea ce priveøte calciu seric øi urinar øi parametrii metabolismului osos cu persoane færæ litiazæ cu vârstæ øi indice de masæ corporalæ similare. Material and Methods. In order to investigate the particularities of bone metabolism in patients with kidney lithiasis, we designed a cross sectional study where patients with relapsing lithiasis were compared with age and BMI-matched non-lithiasic controls with respect to calcium and bone metabolic parameters. Rezultate. Am constatat la grupul cu litiazæ recidivatæ cæ, atât excreflia calciului cât øi parametrii turnover-ului osos au fost semnificativ mai mari comparativ cu lotul martor (p<0.05 by Student’s t test). Densitatea mineralizarii osoase lombare evaluatæ prin DXA a fost semnificativ mai scæzutæ în grupul pacienflilor cu litiazæ recidivatæ (p < 0.05), ceea ce sugereazæ cæ aceøti pacienfli au un risc mai mare de pierdere a masei osoase øi osteoporozæ. Deøi în intervalul valorilor normale, media valorilor PTH seric a fost mai mare la pacienflii grupului litiazic, indiferent de sex, comparativ cu lotul martor, în timp ce nivelul vitaminei D a fost semnificativ mai scæzut, comparativ cu acelaøi lot (p < 0.05). Concluzii. Pacienflii cu hipercalciurie se pare cæ au, pe lângæ un risc crescut de a dezvolta litiaza øi un turnover osos mai mare, ce este posibil sæ se asocieze øi cu un risc crescut de pierdere a masei osoase. Hipovitaminoza D ar putea juca un rol în declanøarea unui turnover osos accentuat prin creøterea secrefliei de PTH. În aceste condiflii atât vitamina D, cât øi terapia antiresorbativæ ar putea avea efecte benefice nu numai în prezervarea masei osoase cât øi în prevenirea recidivei litiazice. 22 Idiopathic relapsing lithiasis with hypercalciuria is accompanied by high bone turnover and low vitamin D levels Revista Românæ de Urologie Results. Calcium excretion, but also bone turnover parameters were increased in the groups with relapsing lithiasis (p < 0.05 by Student’s t test). Lumbar bone mineral density evaluated by DXA was also significantly lower in the llithiasis groups (p < 0.05), suggesting that patients with relapsing lithiasis may have a higher risk of bone loss and osteoporosis. Although within the normal range, mean serum PTH was significantly higher in both lithiasic males and females when compared to the non-lithiasic control groups, whereas 25OH vitamin D levels were lower (p < 0.05). Conclusions. Hypercalciuric patients seem to have, aside an increased risk of lithiasis, also a higher bone turnover, possibly accompanied by a higher risk of bone loss. Vitamin D deficiency may play a role in triggering high bone turnover through an increase in PTH secretion. Both vitamin D repletion and antiresorptive therapy may have beneficial effects not only in preserving bone mass, but also in decreasing relapse risk in kidney lithiasis. nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 I.

Cele mai frecvente complicaflii au fost stenoza ureteralæ (3,39%) øi fistula ureteralæ (2,77%). Comparativ cu tehnica de ureteroneocistostomie L-P, tehnica L-G a fost asociatæ cu mai pufline complicaflii generale (6,15% vs. 8,34%, p = 0,06), o ratæ mai micæ a stenozei ureterale (2.31% vs. 3.39%, p = 0,08) øi o ratæ similaræ a fistulelor ureterale.

Sinescu, M. Hârza, C. Baston, A. Preda, B. Øtefan, I. Manea, B. Hæinealæ, B. Bædescu Center of Uronephrology and Kidney Transplantation, Fundeni Clinical Institute, Bucharest Background. Incidence of urological complications after kidney transplantation remains high despite improvements in diagnosis and surgical techniques. Urinary tract reconstruction is usually done by ureteroneocystostomy, of which there are several techniques. In this study we evaluate the outcomes of two different techniques of ureteroneocystostomy performed in our department, the transvesical Leadbetter-Politano (L-P) and the extravesical Lich-Gregoir (L-G) technique. Methods. During 1st of January 2006 and 31st of December 2011 we performed 584 consecutive renal transplants, 324 cases using L-P technique (55.48%) and 260 cases with L-G technique (44.52%). Renal grafts were obtained from cadaveric donors in 163 cases (27.91%) and from livingrelated donors in 421 cases (72.09%). Ureteral stenting was performed in 115 cases (19.69 %). Results. Urological complications after kidney transplantation occurred in 27 cases in the L-P ureteroneocystostomy group (8.34%). The most common complications were ureteral stenosis (3.39%) and leakage (2.77%). Compared with the L-P ureteroneocystostomy technique, the L-G technique was associated with fewer overall complications (6.15% vs. 8.34%; p=0.06), a lower rate of ureteral stenosis (2.31% vs. 3.39%; p=0.08) and a similar rate of leakage. However, statistical analysis revealed no significant differences between the two techniques (p= 0.06). In addition, we did not notice any differences in graft and patient survival between two groups. Transplant, Hipertrofie benignæ a prostatei PM.2.1. Complicafliile urologice dupæ transplantul renal: analizæ comparativæ între tehnicile de implantare uretero-vezicalæ Leadbetter-Politano øi Lich-Gregoir Conclusions. In our study, the extravesical L-G technique has a lower urological complications rate compared to transvesical L-P procedure but without statistical significant differences. Furthermore, L-G technique is easier to perform, faster, avoids a separate cystotomy and requires a shorter ureteral length. In conclusion, we recommend L-G technique as the technique of choice in kidney transplantation. Revista Românæ de Urologie 23 Transplant, Hipertrofie benignæ a prostatei PM.2.2.

Grefele renale au fost obflinute, în 199 cazuri (24,93%) de la donatori aflafli în moarte cerebralæ øi în 599 cazuri (75,07%) de la donatori în viaflæ, înrudifli. Stenturi ureterale JJ au fost utilizate în 152 cazuri (19,1%) din numærul total (grupul cu stenturi) øi s-au îndepærtat între 2-4 sæptæmâni postoperator. Methods. A series of 798 consecutive renal transplantations were performed between 1st of January 2004 and 31st of December 2011. Recipient mean age: 35.17-12.73 years old. Renal grafts were obtained in 199 cases (24.93%) from cadaveric and in 599 cases (75.07%) from living-related donors. Ureteral stents were used in 152 cases (19.1%) of total (stent group) and were removed between 2 - 4 weeks postoperatively. Rezultate. Incidenfla complicafliilor urologice a fost de 7,89% (63 cazuri). Stenoza ureteralæ (3,13%) øi fistula ureteralæ (2,38%) au fost cele mai frecvente complicaflii întâlnite. 39,7% (25 cazuri) dintre complicaflii au fost înregistrate în prima lunæ posttransplant (complicaflii precoce), iar complicafliile ulterioare au fost considerate tardive (60,3%). Rata complicafliilor ureterale a fost de 2,6% în grupul cu stenturi, comparativ cu 8,9% în grupul færæ stenturi (p = 0,04). Stentarea nu influenfleazæ incidenfla complicafliilor urologice în relaflie cu tipul de donator sau cu sexul receptorilor (p> 0,05). Cu toate acestea, utilizarea acestora a fost asociatæ cu o creøtere semnificativæ a ratei de ITU în grupul cu stenturi (51,3%) comparativ cu grupul færæ stenturi (17,9%) (p = 0,03). Concluzii. În studiul nostru, utilizarea stenturilor ureterale a scæzut semnificativ rata complicafliilor urologice posttransplant, dar s-a asociat cu o creøtere semnificativæ a riscului de ITU. În concluzie, stentarea ureteralæ de rutinæ în transplantul renal ar trebui sæ se facæ punând in balanflæ beneficiile în ceea ce priveøte scæderea complicafliilor urologice cu anumite riscuri de a dezvolta UTI. 24 Impact of ureteral stenting on urological complications after kidney transplantation surgery: a single center experience. Revista Românæ de Urologie Results. The overall incidence of urological complications was 7.89% (63 cases). Ureteral stenosis (3.13%) and ureteral leakage (2.38%) were the most common complications. 39.7% (25 cases) complications were recorded in the first month after transplantation (early complications) and after this interval were considered late complications (60.3%). Ureteral complications rate was 2.6% in stent group compared to 8.9% in no-stent group (p= 0.04). Stents did not influence the incidence of urological complications in relationship with donor type or gender of the recipients (p> 0.05). However, stent use was associated with increase of UTI rate in stent group (51.3%) compared to no-stent group (17.9%) (p= 0.03). Conclusions. In our study the use of ureteral stents significantly decreases urological complications in kidney transplant recipients but increases risk of developing UTI. Routine ureteral stenting in renal transplantation should balance the benefits of urological complications with certain risks of developing UTI. nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 Quality of life in patients with kidney transplant O.

Scopul acestui studiu retrospectiv este evaluarea alternativelor terapeutice la aceøti pacienfli. Objective: Most troublesome LUTS of the aging male are due to bladder outlet obstruction caused by BPH, associated with detrusor overactivity. We reviewed the evolution of detrusor overactivity in patients with BPH who underwent several treatment alternatives. Material øi metodæ: Studiul a inclus 130 de bærbafli cu simptomatologie de tract urinar inferior, diagnosticafli cu HBP øi având simptomatologie sugestivæ pentru sindromul de vezica hiperactivæ. Vârsta minimæ a pacienflilor a fost de 50 de ani øi au fost excluøi cei cu patologie neurologicæ cunoscutæ. Pacienflii au completat scorul IPSS si chestionarul de calitate a vieflii. În toate cazurile s-a practicat debitmetrie liberæ øi determinarea rezidiului postmicflional. Pacienflii au efectuat studiu presiune-debit pentru evaluarea hiperactivitæflii detrusoriene øi a gradului de obstrucflie subvezicalæ. Pacienflii au fost reevaluafli conform aceluiaøi protocol dupæ 6 respectiv 12 luni. În funcflie de opfliunea terapeuticæ aleasæ, pacienflii au fost împærflifli în patru grupe: A. Supraveghere – 19 pacienfli, B. Terapie medicalæ pentru HBP – 20 cazuri, C. Terapie medicalæ pentru HBP øi anticolinergic – 33 pacienfli, D. TURP – 58 cazuri. Materials and Methods: 130 men with lower urinary tract symptoms have been selected, after being diagnosed with BPH and having a medical history suggestive for bladder overactivity. All patients were older than 50 years of age and hid not have any neurological disease. Patients had to complete the IPSS score and the Quality of Life index. Free uroflowmetry and abdominal ultrasound examination with measurement of the post mictional residual urine have been performed. All patients underwent a pressure-flow study, as the single most useful investigation providing evidence both for bladder outlet obstruction and detrusor overactivity. Patients have been reevaluated using the same protocol 6 to 12 months after treatment. Considering our treatment options, patients have been divided into 4 groups: A. Surveillance – 19 patients; B. Medical therapy for BPH – 20 cases; C. Medical therapy for BPH and anticholinergics – 33 patients; D. TURP – 58 patients. Rezultate: Grupul A a înregistrat o agravare constantæ a simptomelor, iar patru pacienfli au dezvoltat retenflie acutæ de urinæ. În grupul B, starea pacienflilor s-a ameliorat sub tratament, iar în 5 cazuri simptomele de vezicæ hiperactivæ au dispærut. În grupul C, ameliorarea simptomaticæ a fost semnificativæ, cu diminuarea simptomatologiei obstructive dar øi a celei de vezicæ hiperactivæ. Nu s-au înregistrat episoade de retenflie acutæ øi nici creøetri semnificative ale rezidiului vezical. În grupul pacienflilor operafli (TURP), evolufliile au fost diferite: în patru cazuri persistæ atât simptomatologia obstructivæ cât øi cea de vezicæ hiperactivæ, în 19 cazuri semnele de vezicæ hiperactivæ au impus tratament specific, iar 35 de pacienfli sunt asimptomatici. Results: Patients of the A group showed an overall worsening of the symptomatology. 4 patients of this group developed acute urine retention which imposed surgical treatment. In the B group, the patients’ condition was better after treatment. In 5 cases, signs of bladder overactivity disappeared. In the C group, patients’ condition improved significantly. Bladder overactivity and outlet obstruction became less bothering for the patient, with no case of acute urinary retention and no increase in the volume of residual urine. Patients treated with TURP (D group) had different evolutions: 4 patients still have symptoms of overactivity and obstruction. 19 patients have detrusor overactivity requiring medical treatment. 35 patients are asymptomatic, thus not requiring any kind of therapy. Concluzii: Hiperactivitatea detrusorianæ persistæ sau se agreveazæ în absenfla tratamentului specific; terapia medicalæ pentru HBP poate reduce simptomele de vezicæ hiperactivæ, færæ a putea fi consideratæ un tratament eficient în acest sens. Asocierea anticolinergicelor la tratamentul adenomului de prostatæ este siguræ øi eficientæ, færæ reacflii adverse semnificative. TURP, prin reducerea gradului de obstrucflie subvezicalæ, duce la dispariflia simptomatologiei de hiperactivitate vezicalæ în peste jumætate dintre cazuri. 26 Overactive bladder in patients with BPH Revista Românæ de Urologie Conclusions: Detrusor overactivity persists or aggravates in the absence of treatment. Medical therapy for BPH may reduce bladder overactivity, but cannot be considered effective. Association of anticholinergics with usual medication for BPH is safe and effective by decreasing symptoms without causing acute urinary retention or increasing the residual volume. 60% of patients with detrusor overactivity are completely asymptomatic after TURP. nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 1 1 2 C.

Criteriile de includere au fost: vârsta, PSA, examenul ecografic, examenul anatomopatologic, status nutriflional adecvat, precum øi absenfla de patologii asociate sau de tratamente medicamentoase în curs. S-au determinat PSA seric, zincul seric øi cel urinar prin metode de lucru automatizate. Material and methods: An observational study was conducted during 2012 - 2013, on a total of 60 men with a mean age of 56.2 years, which were divided into two groups: diagnosed with BPH (30 patients) and without prostate pathology (30 volunteers) . The inclusion criteria were: age, PSA, ultrasound, pathological examination, adequate nutritional status and the absence of associated pathology or ongoing medical treatments. We determined serum PSA, serum and urinary zinc by automated working methods. Rezultate: În lotul de studiu, valoarea PSA a fost de 3,85±0,07ng/mL, cea a zincului seric de 77± 7,2µg/dL, iar cea a zincului urinar a fost de 612±122µg/ 24 de ore. În lotul martor valoarea PSA a fost de 0,9±0,7 ng/mL, cea a zincului seric de 94±4,5µg/dL, iar cea a zincului urinar a fost de 417±101µg/ 24 de ore. S-au obflinut diferenfle cu semnificaflie statisticæ între bærbaflii cu HBP øi lotul control pentru: PSA, Zn seric, Zn urinar (IC= 95%, p< 0,05).

Multe studii au evidenfliat cæ obezitatea este asociatæ cu un nivel scæzut al antigenului specific prostatic (PSA) øi un volum al prostatei mai mare. Scopul acestui studiu a fost de a analiza dacæ volumul prostatei øi PSA-ul sunt corelate cu indicele de masæ corporalæ (IMC). Introduction. Many studies showed that obesity is associated with low levels of prostate specific antigen and bigger prostate volume. The aim of this study was to analysis if prostate size and PSA is correlated with body mass index (BMI). Material øi metode. Am selectat 151 de pacienfli cu sindrom metabolic (IDF 2006); aceøtia au fost stratificafli în 3 loturi: lotul A, 58 de pacienfli cu IMC 27-34,9 kg/m2, lotul B - 54 de pacienfli IMC 35,0-39,9 kg/m2 øi lotul C - 39 pacienflii cu IMC> 40 kg/m2. Hiperplazia benignæ de prostatæ (HBP) a fost definitæ ca un volum prostatic peste 25 ml øi un scor IPSS ≥ 8. Rezultate. Vârsta medie a fost de 54,3±8,7 ani în grupul A, 55,41±7,59 ani în grupul B øi 53,46±6,41 ani în grupul C. Nivelul PSA a fost 0,921±0,23 pmol/l în grupul A, 0,623±0,31 pmol/l în grupul B øi 0,64±0,25 pmol/l în grupul C (p=0,034). Nivelurile de PSA liber nu a fost semnificativ statistic diferite între grupuri. Dimensiunea prostatei a fost mai mare în grupul C (p=0,02). Nivelul testosteronului a fost similar în grupul A øi B, dar mai mic în grupul C (4,24±1,39 ng/ml vs 4,57±1,46 ng/ml vs 3,61±1,42 ng/ml). În analiza univariatæ IMC a fost corelat cu nivelul PSA, testosteronului, adiponectinei øi valorile leptinei, mærimea prostatei. Concluzie. Obezitatea este asociatæ cu un nivel scæzut al testosteronului, iar producflia PSA-ului este sub controlul androgenic, ceea ce poate sugera cæ obezitatea ar putea fi asociatæ cu niveluri scæzute de PSA. Material and methods. We selected 151 patients with metabolic syndrome (IDF 2006) and divided in 3 groups: group A, 58 patients with BMI 27 – 34.9 kg/m2, group B - 54 patients BMI 35.0-39,9 kg/m2 and group C – 39 patients with BMI > 40 kg/m2. BPH was defined as a PV≥25 ml and International Prostate Symptom Score IPSS?8, which are commonly used as clinical BPH criteria Results. The average age was 54.3±8.7 in group A, 55.41±7.59 in group B and 53,46±6,41 in group C. PSA levels were 0.921±0.23 pmol/l in group A, 0.623±0.31pmol/l in group B and 0.64±0.25 pmol/l in group C (p=0.034). Free PSA levels don’t differ between groups with significant statistics. Prostate size was bigger in group C (p=0.02). Testosterone levels were similar in groups A and B but lower in group C (4.24±1.39 ng/ml vs 4.57±1.46 ng/ml vs 3.61±1.42 ng/ml). BMI was correlated with PSA levels, testosterone, adiponectin and leptin values, prostate size (all p<0.05). Conclusion. Obesity is associated with a low level of testosterone and PSA production is under androgen control, which may suggest that obesity might be associated with low levels of PSA. Conflict of interest.

BPH guidelines recommend the surgical treatment for recurrent acute urinary retention (AUR) only. The aim of our study was to evaluate, for a 3years period, the evolution of patients with AUR due to BPH, which favorably responded to TWOC. Material and method. 100 consecutive patients who favorably responded to TWOC were included in the study and followed-up for a 3-years period. After the TWOC the responder patients were treated with combined medical treatment (tamsulosin + dutasteride) for 3 years. Patients experiencing the second AUR episode were excluded from the study and underwent surgery. Results. The success rate- defined as the absence of any further AUR episode or need for BPH surgery – was 54% after the first year, 49% after 2 years and 46% after 3 years from the initial AUR episode. Patients with treatment failure had higher prostate volumes and were older at the initial AUR episode comparing with those which successful responded to the treatment (p<0.001). Diabetes mellitus were statistical significant more frequent encountered in treatment-failures cases than in successful cases in the first year follow-up but not for the second and the third year of follow-up.

Mulflescu, G. Niflæ, C. Persu, C. Moldoveanu, P. Geavlete Department of Urology, “Saint John” Emergency Clinical Hospital, Bucharest Objective: Prostatic abscess is a rare, but potentially severe urologic disease if not treated properly. We have evaluated the efficiency of the transurethral resection in prostatic abscesses and we have also assesed the features of the patients diagnosed with this condition. Material øi metodæ: În perioada martie 1998 – decembrie 2012, în clinica noastræ au fost internafli 29 de pacienfli cu abces prostatic. Tofli pacienflii au beneficiat de rezecflie transuretralæ, concomitent s-a instituit antibioterapia cu spectru larg. Material and method: Between March 1998 and December 2012, we have admitted 29 patients with prostatic abscesses in our urology department. All patients sustained transurethral resection and also received broad spectrum antibiotherapy. Rezultate: Vârsta medie a pacienflilor a fost 61 de ani. Din cei 29 de pacienfli, 19 (65,5%) au avut diabet zaharat øi 5 pacienfli (17%) au avut ciroza hepaticæ. Semnele øi simptomele frecvente au fost: febræ de cel putin 38.5 grade Celsius la 19/29 din pacienfli (65.5%), retenflie acutæ de urinæ în 16/29 din cazuri (55%) øi disurie în 13/29 din cazuri (45%). De asemenea, a fost semnalatæ durerea perinealæ 17,2% øi hipogastricæ 38%. Principalele investigaflii au fost tuøeul rectal (mærirea de volum a prostatei, fluctuenflæ), ecografia endorectalæ (imagini hipoecogene cu perete subflire) øi CT (colecflii cu densitate lichidæ). În toate cazurile, abordul transuretral a permis evacuarea completæ a abcesului si un lavaj corespunzætor al acestuia. La doi pacienfli s-a practicat reintevenflie la douæ, respectiv patru zile. În 4 cazuri pacienflii au prezentat sepsis. Nu au fost înregistrate decese øi recidive în perioada de follow-up (6 - 48 de luni). Results: The average age of patients was 61 years. 19 patients (65,5%) suffered from diabetes mellitus and 5 patients (17%) had hepatic cirrhosis. Signs and symptoms included: fever of at least 38.5 degrees Celsius in 19/29 of patients (65.5%) , acute urinary retention in 16/29 of the cases ( 55%) and dysuria in 13/29 cases (45%). Perineal pain in 17,2% of patients and hipogastric discomfort in 38% of the cases were reported. The main investigations were digital rectal examination (enlargement and fluctuation of the prostate), transrectal ultrasound (hypoechoic thin-walled images) and CT (fluid density collections). In all cases, the transurethral resection approach allowed complete abscess drainage with an adequate lavage. Two patients needed reintervention after two, respectively four days. There were declared 4 cases with sepsis. During the follow-up period (6 to 48 months), no deaths or relapses were reported. Concluzii: Abcesul prostatic este o patologie mai frecventæ la pacienflii vârstnici øi tarafli. Rezecflia transuretralæ endoscopicæ reprezintæ un tratament sigur øi eficient al abcesului prostatic. Conclusions: Prostatic abscesses occur mostly in elderly patients, with multifactorial diseases. Endoscopic transurethral resection is a safe and efficient treatment for prostatic abscesses. nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 Revista Românæ de Urologie Transplant, Hipertrofie benignæ a prostatei PM.2.11.

Who (general practitioner, urologist etc.) and in which cases indicates the first PSA, which are the limits of age, what significance has a normal PSA value with a histopathological finding of ASAP or an elevated PSA with a negative biopsy result etc. Scopul lucrærii: Studiul nostru retrospectiv prezintæ prin prisma a 754 de bolnavi puncflionafli ecoghidat transrectal pentru suspiciunea de cancer de prostatæ, în perioada 2009-2012, experienfla Clinicii de Urologie din Tg Mureø în acest domeniu. Material øi metode: În decurs de 4 ani (2009-2012) am practicat puncflie biopsie ecoghidatæ transrectalæ pentru suspiciunea de cancer de prostatæ (PSA crescut, tuøeu rectal pozitiv, cæutarea punctului de plecare în cazul metastazelor la distanflæ etc.) la 754 de pacienfli având o vârstæ medie de 70,05 ani. Rezultate: Din cei 754 de pacienfli (100%) în doar 47,68% (361) de cazuri s-a confirmat cancerul de prostatæ, în 5,57% a pacienflilor rezultatul a fost ASAP. Majoritatea pacienflilor diagnosticafli cu cancer de prostatæ au fæcut parte din grupa de vârstæ 71-75 de ani (27,15%), limitele de varsta fiind 49-92 de ani. Adenocarcinoamele de prostatæ confirmate au avut un scor Gleason 7 (la 137 de cazuri din 361) øi Gleason 8 (122 de cazuri). Din punct de vedere al numærului de puncflii efectuate per pacient, s-au practicat între 6-8-12 puncflii, sau în unele cazuri puncflii saturate mergând pânæ la 14-16 puncflii, depinzând de volumul prostatei øi de vârsta pacientului. În 94,9%, PBP s-a efectuat pentru un PSA crescut – valoarea medie a PSA-ului: 47,16 ng/ml (cu limite între 2,3 øi 2689,98 ng/ml). Concluzii: În cadrul procesului de depistare precoce a cancerului de prostatæ, determinarea PSA-lui are valoare determinantæ. Creøterea valorii PSA-ului nu înseamnæ obligatoriu prezenfla cancerului de prostatæ, dar necesitæ efectuarea unei punctii biopsii prostatice. În vederea creøterii acurateflii diagnostice, se recomandæ deci efectarea a mai multor determinari PSA prebiopsie, iar în majoritatea cazurilor, mai ales la cei apartinand grupei de varsta de 70-75 ani, urologul sa fie cel care dupæ un examen de specialitate sæ recomande efectuarea acestei probe. 34 Prostate cancer diagnosis: possibilities and limits Revista Românæ de Urologie Aim of the study: In our retrospective study we processed the histopathological results of 754 ultrasound guided transrectal prostate biopsies, performed between 2009-2012 in the Urology Clinic of Targu Mures. Materials and Methods: Between 2009-2012 in the Clinic of Urology of Tg Mures we performed transrectal biopsies in prostate cancer suspicion in 754 cases (increased PSA level, positive digital rectal examination, and search starting point for distant metastasis, etc). Results: With ultrasound guided prostate biopsy performed on the 754 patients, we confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate in just 47.68% (361 cases), and the result was ASAP in 5,57% of the patients. Most patients diagnosed with prostate cancer belonged to age group 71-75 years (27.15%). Confirmed prostate adenocarcinoma had a Gleason score 7 (in 137 of 361 cases) and Gleason 8 (122 cases). In terms of the number of biopsies we performed 6-8-12 punctures, or in some cases saturated punctures extending to 14-16 punctures, depending on patient age and prostate volume. In 94.9%, PBP was made for increased PSA: mean PSA was 47.16 ng / ml (PSA value was between 2.3 and 2689.98 ng / ml). Conclusions: In the process of early diagnosis of prostate cancer the determination of PSA is of determinant value. An increasing value of PSA does not mean in all of the cases the presence of prostate cancer, but requires a prostate biopsy. In order to increase the efficiency of the biopsies, several determinations of PSA before the biopsies are required, and the urologist has to recommend this probe especially in the cases of patients belonging to the group of ages 70-75 years. nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 1 1 1 M.

Metodæ adjuvantæ de diagnostic în cancerul prostatic Introduction. Actual level of knowledge. In our days detection of prostate cancer relies on ultrasound guided prostate biopsy with prelevation of at least 10 cores. Ultrsonography however has a limited specificity and sensitivity in detecting isoechoic prostate cancer areas. A modern alternative of ultrasound is elastography which can assume the density of tissues. It is known that neoplastic tissue density affects the elasticity of the tissue as revealed by elastography. Real time elastography becomes this way a promising adjuvant method in detecting prostate cancer. Objectives. Material and method. This study has as a first objective to collect a set of elastographic images and data in order to compare various prostatic tissues: normal, BPH and cancer. The second objective is to obtain a library of standard ultrasonic and elastographic images in patients suspicious for prostate adenocarcinoma, which are about to have a transrectal ultrasound guided prostate biopsy. For these purposes we used an AIXPLORER Supersonic Imagine elastograph. Preliminary results. In the first step of the study we collected 120 elastographic images and data from normal subjects and patients with BPH or prostate cancer. We also tried to minimize the artefacts and technical biases. Conclusions. Elastography is a promising method in order to improve the results of prostate biopsy. The method has some limitations related to the presence of artifacts and the need of learning curve. Obtaining satisfactory results could prompt to the elastographic guided focal prostate punction.

Subjects and method: Between January 2011 and July 2012 we analyzed the results of histopathological prostatic fragments obtained by transrectal echoguided biopsy on a number of 42 patients with the first prostate biopsy negative for prostate cancer - initial group of 80 patients. After 6 months from the first puncture PBP was repeated. Patients received preinterventional a cephalosporin IM / IV, practicing the PBP with a collection of 12 pieces from 18 patients and 16 fragments in 24 patients. PBP was performed with local anesthesia. All patients were discharged a few hours after the puncture, and were recommended antibiotic treatment for 7 days at home. Results: Prostate cancer was diagnosed through repeated puncture in a number of 9 from 42 patients (detection rate of 21.42%). The remaining number of 33 patients was left undiagnosed in evidence of the Clinic, although PSA values raised suspicion of prostate cancer. They are in follow up, eventually planning to repeat the biopsy. The overall detection rate of prostate cancer to the 80 patients who started the study was 69.42%, 48% diagnosed after the first biopsy prostate and 21.42% diagnosed after the second prostate biopsy. Conclusions: Histological confirmation is mandatory for prostate cancer diagnosis. Transrectal echoguided biopsy is the method of choice for the collection of the fragments to be examined. Repeating the biopsy is necessary in patients with clinical and biochemical suspicion of prostate cancer. nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 G.

S-a realizat un studiu retrospectiv pentru a evidenflia noi corelaflii între examenul histopatologic al puncfliei biopsie prostatice øi rezultatul examinærii RMN. Introduction: Staging in prostate cancer is important for prognosis as well as for the management of the patients. We present a retrospective study with the aim to highlight new correlations between the pathological report after prostatic biopsy and the MRI result. Material øi metodæ: Lotul studiat a constat din pacienflii nou diagnosticafli cu cancer de prostatæ în perioada iunie 2012martie 2013. Din totalul pacienflilor s-au selectat doar pacienflii cu cancer de prostatæ localizat care se încadrau în grupa de risc redus øi intermediar (PSA ≤ 20, scor Gleason ≤ 7) øi care puteau beneficia de tratament radical (speranfla de viaflæ de cel puflin 10 ani øi lipsa de comorbiditæfli care sæ contraindice tratamentul radical). Tuturor pacienflilor li s-a efectuat examen RMN, iar în cazurile de cancer de prostatæ cu risc intermediar øi scintigrafie osoasæ, în vederea stadializærii. Material and Method: We have studied the patients newly diagnosed with prostate cancer between June 2012 and March 2013 in a single centre. We have selected only the patients with low and intermediate risk disease (PSA ≤ 20, Gleason Score ≤ 7) and with indication for radical treatment (at least 10 years life expectancy and no major comorbidities). All patients had MRI and some of them (intermediate risk disease patients) also bone scans. Rezultate: S-a identificat un numær de 77 de pacienfli: 34 se aflau în grupul de risc redus øi 43 în grupul de risc intermediar. Zece dintre aceøtia au prezentat stadiu local avansat în urma examinærii RMN. Corelaflia între invazia perineuralæ la examenul histopatologic øi stadiu avansat la examenul RMN este semnificativæ statistic atât în cazul întregului lot p=0.02 (testul Fisher exact) cât øi în cazul pacienflilor cu risc intermediar (p=0.0415). Results: We found 77 patients: low risk disease 34 and intermediate risk 43. Ten of those had locally advanced prostate cancer on MRI scan. We found statistically significant corellation between perineural invasion and MRI scan result for both population groups (p=0.02 Fisher exact test), and also for intermediate risk disease (p=0.0415). Conclusion: Perineural invasion on pathological report can be used to select patients with risk of extracapsular disease on MRI examination. Concluzii: Invazia perineuralæ decelatæ la examenul histopatologic poate fi utilizatæ pentru a selecta cazurile cu risc de extensie tumoralæ extracapsularæ la examenul RMN. 38 Revista Românæ de Urologie nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 Ø.

Introduction: Prostate cancer is the most common malignancy in men, its incidence of prostate cancer has been rising since the early 1990s. Not all men with prostate cancer will develop clinical disease, therefore sorting these cases is a great clinical challenge. Obiective: Am revizuit experienfla de 5 ani în efectuarea prostatectomiei radicale în clinica noastræ, pentru a evalua rezultatele obflinute øi a le compara cu literatura de specialitate. Purpose: We reviewed a 5-year experience performing open radical retropubic prostatectomy in our hospital, in order to assess outcomes and to compare them to the published literature. Pacienfli øi metode: În studiu au fost incluøi 214 pacienfli cu cancer de prostatæ localizat la care s-a practicat prostatectomie radicalæ între ianuarie 2008 øi martie 2013. Au fost înregistrate øi urmærite valoarea preoperatorie a PSA-ului, stadiul clinic øi scorul Gleason. Au fost evaluate durata intervenfliei, complicafliile intervenfliei, dar øi durata spitalizærii. Radicalitatea oncologicæ a fost apreciatæ cu ajutorul evolufliei biochimice a PSA-ului. Materials and methods: 214 patients with localized prostate cancer who underwent radical prostatectomy between January 2008 and March 2013 were included in our study. The value of preoperative PSA, clinical stage and Gleason score were recorded. Operative time, surgery complication and duration of hospital stay were assessed. Oncological results were assessed using biochemical PSA evaluation. Rezultate: Vârsta pacienflilor a fost cuprinsæ între 53-75 ani, iar valoarea preoperatorie a PSA-ului între 2,7-18 ng/ml. Scorul Gleason preoperator, evaluat pe fragmentele obflinute prin puncflie biopsie prostaticæ, a fost între 4-8, dintre aceøti pacienfli 37% au prezentat carcinom prostatic în stadiul T1, 53% T2 øi 10% T3. Nu s-a întregistrat niciun deces intraoperator, complicaflii majore una, complicaflii minore 18%. Durata medie a intervenfliei a fost de 240 minute. Pierderea medie de sânge a fost de 385 ml, iar rata medie de transfuzie de 1,2 unitæfli. Durata de spitalizare 7-14 zile. Continenfla øi funcflia erectilæ au fost evaluate la 1 lunæ postoperator. Results: Patients’ age was between 53-75 years, preoperative prostate specific antigen levels were between 2,7-18 ng/dl. Gleason score on preoperative biopsy was 4-8. Out of these patients 37% had T1 disease, 53% T2 and 10% T3. No intraoperatory deaths occurred, no major complications occurred, while minor complications were 18%. Mean operating time was 240 minutes. Average blood loss was 385 ml and average blood transfusion rate was 1.2 units. Length of hospitalization was 7-14 days. Continence and erectile function were assessed at 1 month post-surgery.

Grigore, A. Haøegan, M.V. Pîrvufl Facultatea de Medicinæ “Victor Papilian”, Clinica de Urologie Sibiu Introduction: Open radical retropubic prostatectomy (ORRP) is a common treatment for patients with localized prostate cancer (pT1-T2) and life expectancy of more than 10 years. The purpose of the present study is a retrospective evaluation of a group of patients with prostate cancer who have undergone ORRP and bilateral internal iliac and obturator lymphadenectomy. Material and method: We retrospectively analyzed 133 patients who underwent ORRP for clinically localized prostate cancer between January 2008 and February 2013. Results: Average age of the patients was 62.7 years. PreORRP PSA level was between 3.5 – 19.3 ng/ml (average 7.4 ng/ml). Preoperative tumor stage was T1-T2 in 120 cases (90.2%) and T3a for 13 patients (9.8%). The biopsy Gleason score revealed that 92 patients (69.2 %) had a score ≤ 6; 31 patients (23.3%) had a score of 7 and 10 patients (7.5%) had a score ≥ 8. Overall, 57 patients (42,8%) benefit of ORRP with bilateral nerve sparing technique and 18 patients (13,5%) benefit of unilateral nerve sparing technique. A total of 8/133 patients (6%) had positive surgical margins, and 9/133 patients had (6,7%) positive lymph nodes and received complementary therapy. Postoperative PSA levels below 0,1 ng/ml at 12 weeks was found in 107 patients (80.4%). A total of 57 patients presented intraoperative and postoperative bleeding that required transfusion. Concerning the functional outcome, 99 patients (74.4%) were totally continent after bladder catheter removal. Erectile function was evaluated in 53/133 patients at 6 months after nerve sparing ORRP and 34 of them had erections satisfactory for intercourse without the need of any medication. The main limitations of this study are its retrospective design and the follow-up period. Conclusion: For carefully selected patients with organ-confined cancer, ORRP represents a safe and effective, but aggressive treatment, with curative intention. This surgical procedure it is not without complications but offers good oncological results with long life expectancy and good quality of life. nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 O. Bratu, M. Dinu, D. Spînu, A.

Material øi metodæ: Un numær de 64 de prostatectomii radicale retropubiene au fost efectuate între septembrie 2008 øi martie 2013. Grupul de pacienfli a avut urmatoarele caracteristici: vârsta medie 65,09 ani, PSA total între 2 øi 20,59 ng/ml (media - 9,16 ng/ml), volumul prostatic a variat între 22 øi 78 cc, numærul de fragmente biopsiate între 6 øi 24. Scorul Gleason a fost cuprins în intervalul 1-9. Încadrarea în clasificarea TNM a fost urmætoarea: T1 a øi b - 3 pacienfli, T1 c - 55 de cazuri, T2 a - douæ cazuri, T2 b un caz, T3 a - trei cazuri. Limfodisecflia pelvinæ standard sau extinsæ a fost efectuatæ la patruzeci øi doi de pacienfli cu PSA între 10 øi 20 ng/ml. Protocolul diagnostic standard a inclus: examen clinic, PSA total øi liber, tuøeu rectal, ecografie øi biopsie transrectalæ. Prostatectomia radicalæ retropubicæ cu limfadenectomie standard sau extinsæ a fost procedura chirurgicalæ de elecflie folositæ în cadrul acestui grup de pacienfli. Rezultate: Numai trei pacienfli din grupul de studiu nu au beneficiat de rezultat oncologic; ei fiind ulterior incluøi în protocolul de radio- øi chimio- terapie. Un pacient a decedat în urma unui edem pulmonar acut la øapte zile postoperator. La patru ani de la intervenflie tofli pacienflii, chiar øi cei trei în stadiul T3 b au menflinut nivelul PSA sub 0,01 ng/ml. Cele mai frecvente complicaflii postoperatorii imediate au fost drenajul urinar øi limfatic prelungit, infecflii ale plægii øi, nu în ultimul rând, hematuria macroscopicæ. Dintre cele mai frecvente complicaflii tardive enumeræm: incontinenflæ urinaræ uøoaræ, impotenfla øi scleroza de col vezical.

Prostatectomia radicalæ retropubicæ în tratamentul cancerului de prostatæ – o analizæ statisticæ Objective: An updated retrospective analysis on CaP patients as seen through, clinical diagnosis, intra and postoperative early and late complications with a focus on the surgical procedure. Design and setting: 64 radical retropubic prostatectomies were performed from September 2008 till March 2013. The selected group of patients had the following features: average age 65,09 years, total PSA between 2 and 20.59 ng/ml (average - 9,16 ng/ml), prostate volume varies from 22 to 78 cc, number of biopsies between 6 to 24. Gleason score was between 2 and 9, TNM classification was as it follows: T1 a and b -3 cases, T1 c -55 cases, T2 a – 2 cases, T2 b – 1 case, T3 a – 3 cases. Forty-two patients with PSA between 10 and 20 ng/ml underwent standard or extended pelvic lymph node dissection Clinical exam, free and total PSA, digital rectal examination, transrectal ultrasonography and guided biopsy, was the standard diagnose protocol. Operating procedure used was radical retropubic prostatectomy with various schemes of lymph node dissection (standard and extended). Results: Oncological results were achieved for all patients except for three undergraded patients who later received radiotherapy and hormone therapy. One patient deceased from acute pulmonary edema seven days after surgery. At four years after the surgery all the patients including the three staged T3 b maintained PSA levels under 0,01 ng/ml. Prolonged urinary and lymphatic drainage, wound infections and macroscopic haematuria were the most frequent early complications. Main late complications were: mild urinary incontinence, impotence and bladder neck sclerosis. Bladder neck sclerosis seems to be one of the most frequent late complications we came across lately.

The retroprospective study included an analysis of the significant data in the case records, surgical protocols and outpatient postoperative check-ups, special attention being given to indications, intra- and early postoperative complications (within 30 days) and hospital stay. Results: Preoperatively, prostate specific antigen (PSA) ranged between 4.5 and 27.2 ng/mL (mean 9.5 ng/mL), and Gleason score was 5 in one patient, 6 in 22, and 7 in 3 patients. Clinical stage was T1 in 6 patients (23,1%), T2 in 18 (69,2%) and T3 in 2 (7,7%). Mean intraoperative blood loss was 1214 mL (range 400-2500 mL), and 19 patients received blood transfusions. Postoperative complications included acute renal failure in 3 cases, extravasation of contrast medium during retrograde cystography in 4 patients, urinary infection in 5 cases and wound dehiscence in 2 patients. The average postoperative hospital stay was 19.57 days (range 13-43). Conclusions: Radical retropubic prostatectomy is a safe technique, involving a reduced risk of complications. For most patients with localized prostate cancer, radical prostatectomy is the best treatment option. Revista Românæ de Urologie 43 Cancerul de prostatæ PM.3.10.

Sinescu Center of Uronephrology and Renal Transplantation, Fundeni Clinical Institute, Bucharest Introduction: Variations in patterns of care and treatment outcomes suggest differences in the quality of care for men treated for high risk prostate cancer. In the absence of highlevel evidence or clinical guidelines supporting an active treatment approach over another, urologist’s preferences may lead to substantial variation in treatment use. We aimed to assess the current practices regarding the treatment of patients with high risk prostate cancer in Romania and their possible implications in treatment management. Matherial and methods. A national Web-based survey was conducted between Jan-March 2013 that was sent via e-mail to all active member of the Romanian Association of Urology. 75 responses were registered. Statistical analysis of the responses was done using SPSS. Results. Most of the responders (37.2%) work in an academic hospital, with a mean experience of treating prostate cancer of more than 10 years. A PSA = 20 ng/ml or clinical stage> T3 or biopsy GS >8 is considered by 67% of responders as the definition of high risk prostate cancer, while 27.1% consider a T2b stage as high risk. Although 73% of responders have MRI available in their hospital only 43% of them use it. 46.9% consider pelvic CT useful for preoperative imaging evaluation. 63% of urologists use nomograms for preoperative risk assessment, Partin Tables and D’Amico risk classification being the most frequent used to assess the pretreatment risk of patients. 43.8% perform less than 50 prostatectomies/year with the retropubic approach being the most common.35.8% of responders performs extended LND in all cases, while 28% abandon the procedure if lymph node invasion is proven. Only 69% of responders have confidence in their pathologist Conclusions. Urologists working in academic hospitals are more involved in the management of high risk prostate cancer than those working in county hospitals. Imaging with MRI for preoperative evaluation is underused. The usage of different definitions for high risk prostate cancer and templates for LND may impact the outcome of these patients. nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 F. Stænescu, M. Jecu, C. Moldoveanu, B.

Tratamentul standard al cancerului de prostatæ localizat este reprezentat de prostatectomia radicalæ. Riscul de dezvoltare a complicafliilor postoperatorii a determinat introducerea unor alternative minim invazive cu morbiditate redusæ. Deøi aflatæ încæ în stadiu experimental, ablaflia termicæ a cancerului prostatic prin HIFU a fost utilizatæ la peste 11000 pacienfli, în 30 de flæri. Scopul acestei lucræri este analiza experienflei inifliale pe termen mediu a unui singur centru. Introduction and objectives. The standard treatment for localised prostate cancer is radical prostatectomy. Due to the risk of postoperative complications, a new, minimally invasive alternative has been introduced, which associates lower morbidity rates. Though still in its experimental phase, thermal ablation using HIFU for the treatment of prostate cancer has been used on 11000 patients, in 30 countries. The purpose of this study is to describe the medium-term outcome of the initial experience in a single centre. Material øi metodæ. În perioada ianuarie - decembrie 2012, tehnica HIFU a fost utilizatæ la 12 pacienfli cu cancer de prostatæ localizat (T1-2NxM0) folosind dispozitivul Sonablate 500. Tofli pacienflii au avut PSA sub 15 ng/ml, scor Gleason ≤ 7 øi un volum prostatic < 40 cc. Recurenfla biochimicæ a fost definitæ folosind criteriile Phoenix (valoarea PSA nadir + 2). Material and Method. From january 2012 to december 2012, the HIFU technique was employed on 12 patients suffering from localised prostate cancer (T1-2NxM0), using the Sonablate 500 device. Every patient had a PSA of under 15 ng/ml, a Gleason score ≤ 7 and a prostate volume of less than 40 cc. The biochemical recurrence was defined by using the Phoenx criteria (value of PSA Nadir + 2). Rezultate. Valoarea medie a PSA nadir a fost de 0,18 ng/ml (între 0,02 øi 3 ng/ml), fiind obflinutæ în medie la 5 luni dupæ intervenflie. Recurenfla biochimicæ a apærut la 2 pacienfli (16,6%) dupæ 8, respectiv 12 luni de la tratament. Repetarea puncfliei prostatice a confirmat eøecul terapeutic. Complicafliile au fost repezentate de disfuncflie erectilæ (1 caz, 8,33%), incontinenflæ urinaræ (2 cazuri, 16,6%) remisæ spontan dupæ 6 luni øi orhiepididimitæ (1 caz). Concluzii. Tratamentul cu HIFU al pacienflilor cu ADK prostatæ localizat cu risc scæzut sau intermediar permite controlul biochimic al afecfliunii. Metoda ræmâne însæ una investigaflionalæ, fiind necesare studii randomizate pe termen lung pentru stabilirea indicafliilor øi rezultatelor acestei tehnici. 46 Initial experience with HIFU in the treatment of localised prostate cancer Revista Românæ de Urologie Results. The mean PSA Nadir value was 0.18 ng/ml (between 0,02 and 3ng/ml), obtained on average 5 months after the intervention. Biochemical recurrence was observed in 2 out of the 12 patients (16,6%), after 8 and 12 months, respectively, after receiving treatment. Treatment failure was confirmed after repeating the prostate punch biopsies. Complications: one case of erectile disfunction (8,33%), 2 cases of urinary incontinence (16.6%) which spontaneously resolved after 6 months, and one case of orchiepididymitis (8.33%). Conclusions. HIFU treatment of prostate adenocarcinoma for patients who present low or intermediate risk allows biochemical control of the disease. That being said, this method remains experimental, and it is necessary to conduct several randomised long-term outcome trials to establish the indications and results of this technique. nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 1,2 1,2 1,2 1 A.

Introduction/Objective: Prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in men after the bronchopulmonary cancer. The diagnosis of prostate cancer the gold standard procedure is the ultrasound guided prostate biopsy, performed in case of clinical or laboratory suspicion. TUR-P is the main therapeutic method used in surgery of bladder outlet obstruction caused by prostate pathology like BPH or PC, but may also have a diagnostic role in the incidental detection of prostate cancer. Aim of this paper is to examine the role and place of transurethral resection of the prostate in diagnosis and therapy of prostate cancer in the Urology Clinic Târgu Mures. Material øi metode: Studiul este retrospectiv, efectuat în perioada 2011-2013 pe un lot de 106 pacienfli (100%) la care s-a practicat TUR-P, cu scop terapeutic pentru HBP, dar la care s-a confirmat ADKP (32 cazuri - 28,301%), la pacienflii diagnosticafli cu ADKP la care s-a practicat TUR-P de deblocare (23 cazuri 23,943%) øi la cei care s-a practicat TUR-P în scop diagnostic, având PSA crescut øi repetate PBP negative (50 cazuri - 47,169%). Materials and Methods: This retrospective study presents 106 (100%) of patient who underwent TUR-P for BOO, between 2011-2013 in the Clinic of Urology of Targu Mures. In 32 of cases (28,301%) the histopatological examination revealed prostate cancer, in 23 cases TUR-P was performed in already diagnosed prostate cancer cases, while in 50 cases, patients with elevated PSA level but several prostate biopsies with negative results, TUR-P was done for diagnostic reasons. Rezultate: În perioada 2011-2013 s-au practicat 474 de TUR-Puri, din care 106 cazuri (22,362%) se încadrau în criteriile de alegere a pacienflilor. Pacienflii aleøi în studiu aveau vârstæ între 50 øi 91 de ani, cu vârsta medie de 71,86 ani. Tofli pacienflii au avut acuze urinare joase de golire. La aceøti pacienfli s-a practicat TURP cu scop terapeutic în 75 de cazuri (70,754%), cu scop terapeutic øi diagnostic împreunæ cu PBP ecoghidatæ în 26 cazuri (24,528%) iar în 4 cazuri am practicat øi TUR-V (3,773%). În 21 cazuri, anterior TUR-P-ului s-a practicat PBP (rezultat negativ) pentru PSA crescut. În 5 cazuri de HBP, rezultatul histopatologic a confirmat un mic focar de ADKP a zonei de tranzitie, cu Gleason între 2 øi 6, iar în 8 cazuri cu PSA crescut, dar cu PBP anterioaræ negativæ, s-a confirmat ADKP a zonei periferice cu Gleason între 7-9. Concluzie: TUR-P ræmâne intervenflia chirurgicalæ de elecflie în terapia obstrucfliei subvezicale (HBP+ADKP). Având în vedere volumul mai mare de flesut prostatic rezultat în urma efectuærii TUR-P, acesta poate sæ ne ajute în depistarea cancerului de prostatæ în faze incipiente, la pacienflii cu PSA normal sau la pacienflii cu PSA crescut, dar la care cu PBP nu s-a reuøit confirmarea cancerului de prostatæ. nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 Cancerul de prostatæ PM.3.13. Rolul TUR-P în managementul cancerului de prostatæ Results: In a period of 2 years from the total of 474 TUR-P, 106 cases (22.362%) fit the selection criteria. Patients selected in this study were aged between 50 and 91 years, with a mean age of 71.86 years. All patients had obstructive lower urinary complaints. In these patients we performed TUR-P with therapeutic purposes in 75 cases (70.754%) with therapeutic and diagnostic purposes together with ultrasound guided prostate biopsy in 26 cases (24.528%), and also TUR-V in 4 cases (3.773%). 21 of the cases had several previous negative PBP for increased PSA. In 5 cases with BPH, histological results confirmed a small PC with Gleason between 2 - 6 of the transition zone, and 8 cases with increased PSA but previous negative PBP was confirmed ADKP of the peripheral zone with Gleason between 7- 9. Conclusion: TUR-P remains the elective surgical therapy of the bladder outlet obstruction caused by (BPH + PC). Resulting a greater volume of prostate tissue can help detect prostate cancer in its early stages in patients with normal PSA, or in patients with increased PSA, but that the PBP failed to confirm prostate cancer.

Patient, materials and methods. A 55-year-old patient was referred toour center for LUTS and a PSA of 7.8 ng/dL. The DRE reveals a slightly enlarged prostate with a firm nodule in the left lobe. TRUS and needle biopsy were performed with a histopathological result of prostate adenocarcinoma Gleason 7 (3+4). Pelvic MRI examination reveals no pelvic adenopathies and a prostate confined tumor in the left prostatic lobe. Radical prostatectomy and standard lymph node dissection was performed. After one year, the patient presents with LUTS and perineal pain. The PSA was 0.003 ng/dL. MRI raises a suspicion of a local recurrence at the anastomosis site. Cystoscopy and TUR is performed and HP examination suggests a local recurrence with a neuroendocrine pattern, which is confirmed through IHC exam. IHC reevaluation of the primary specimen revealed intense positive staining for cromogranin and neuron specific enolase. Salvage EBRT and chemotherapy (docetaxel vs. etoposide+ carboplatin) was initiated with a poor response, with bone disease diagnosed six months after local recurrence. Concluzii. Cancerul de prostatæ cu diferenfliere neuroendocrinæ este o entitate raræ, asociatæ frecvent cu prognostic slab, iar PSAul la momentul diagnosticului nu poate indica tumorile prostatice cu diferenfliere neuroendocrinæ.

The aim of this study was to assess preoperative sexual function in patients with prostate cancer undergoing radical prostatectomy. A total of 42 patients were evaluated between years 2012-2013 with the EORTC QLQ-PR25 questionnaire, one day before surgery. The EORTC QLQ-PR25 questionnaire evaluates the quality of life in patients with prostate cancer, is validated for Romania and it contains 6 questions regarding the patients sexual life. There are 4 possible answers for each question: “not at all”, “a little”, “quite much” and “very much”. Rezultate. Vârsta medie a pacienflilor a fost de 64,4 ani (între 49 øi 76 ani), 30 de pacienfli fiind sub 70 ani (71,43%), iar 12 pacienfli (28,57%) având vârsta peste 70 ani.

Sexual activity and functionality parameters, as well as urinary complication scores were most affected, regardless of surgical technique. The overall trend of the psychometric parameters was towards improvement over the first year. Concluzii. Impactul asupra calitæflii vieflii pacienflilor este maxim în primele luni dupæ intervenflie, cu recuperare ulterioaræ gradualæ. Majoritatea pacienflilor prezintæ un nivel ridicat pe scara funcflionalitæflii, dar eforturi trebuiesc depuse în limitarea incontinenflei øi impotenflei postoperatorii, prin îmbunætæflirea tehnicii chirurgicale, a materialelor utilizate intraoperator precum øi prin educaflia pacientului øi suport social crescut. 50 Quality of Life among Patients with Radical Prostatectomy – Dynamic Evaluation of a Series of Cases Revista Românæ de Urologie Conclusion. The quality of life impact of surgery is most significant in the first few months after surgery, with a gradual recovery afterwards. Most patients show a high level on the functionality scale, however efforts must be made to limit postoperative incontinence and sexual dysfunction through improved surgical technique or materials, or their quality of life impact through patient education along better social support. nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 N.

Hurduc 1 Spitalul Clinic Prof. Dr. Theodor Burghele, Bucureøti 2 Medas – Spitalul Clinic Sfânta Maria, Bucureøti Introduction: Peyronie`s disease (PD) can produce a curvature of the penis which prevent sexual contact or make it very difficult. If the patient have strong sexually induced erection the penile curvature correction can be done through corporoplasty. When the curvature is less then 60-70 degrees the penis can be straightened through tunica plication techniques but when the curvature is greater, plaque incision or partial excision and grafting is preferred in order to preserve as much as possible the length of the penis. Obiective: Prezentarea experienflei noastre privind îndreptarea penisului în boala Peyronie prin corporoplastie cu grefæ din Pelvicol TM. Objective: To present our experience of streightening the penis in PD through Pelvicol TM graft corporoplasty. Material øi metodæ: În perioada iunie – noiembrie 2012, s-au prezentat trei pacienfli cu boala Peyronie opritæ în evoluflie pentru imposibilitatea de a avea contact sexual datoritæ încurbærii peniene. Vârsta pacienflilor (p) a fost 47 (p1), 54 (p2) øi 56 (p3) ani, cu erecflie bunæ evidenfliatæ clinic øi prin ecografie penianæ Doppler dupæ injectare de Caverject. Încurbarea penianæ a fost dorsalæ de 90 (p1), 75 (p2) øi 85 grade (p3). Tofli pacienflii au avut diverse tratamente nechirurgicale înainte de prezentare. Îndreptarea penisului sa efectuat prin corporoplastie cu o singuræ grefæ din Pelvicol TM(4/7 cm). Postoperator, dupæ ziua 10, s-a administrat Cialis 5 mg /zi pânæ la apariflia erecfliilor nocturne spontane. Material and method: From June to November 2012, three patients with stable PD has presented for inability to have sexual intercourse due to penile curvature. The patients(p) were 47 (p1), 54 (p2) and 56 (p3) years old with good erections proved by clinical examination and Doppler ultrasound of the erect penis after Caverject injection. Penile curvature was dorsal : 90 (p1), 75 (p2) and 85 (p3) degrees. All the patients had failed conservative therapy. Straightening of the penis was carried out by corporoplasty with a single Pelvicol TM graft (4/7 cm). Postoperatively, after day 10, Cialis 5 mg od was given until the emergence of spontaneous nocturnal erections. Rezultate: Nu au fost complicaflii postoperatorii. Tofli pacienflii øi-au reînceput viafla sexualæ dupæ 2 luni. Pacientul 1 a prezentat o reducere a rigiditæflii peniene rezolvatæ prin administrarea sporadicæ de Cialis 20 mg. La trei luni p1 prezenta o curburæ rezidualæ de 15 grade øi o scurtarea a penisului de 0,5 cm, p2 avea penisul drept færæ scurtare, iar p3 o curburæ rezidualæ de 10 grade færæ scurtare. Results: There have been no post-operative complications. All patients resume sex life after two month. Patient 1 presented a reduction of penile rigidity solved by sporadic administration of Cialis 20 mg. After three month p1 had a residual curvature of 15 degree and a shortening of 0,5 cm, p2 had straight penis without shortening and p3 a rezidual curvature of 10 degrees without shortening. Concluzii: Corporoplastia cu grefæ din Pelvicol TM oferæ pacienflilor cu încurbarea severæ a penisului datoritæ boli Peyronie, posibilitatea de a relua activitatea sexualæ, având un penis drept sau cu o curburæ minoræ “funcflionalæ” cu erecflia pe care o aveau înainte sau îmbunætæflitæ prin administrarea de inhibitori de PDE 5. Conclusions: Pelvicol TM corporoplasty is a good solution for the patients with severe curvature of the penis in the stable PD, giving them the possibility to resume sexual activity with a straight penis or with a minor “functionally” curvature and the erection they already have or impruved by PDE 5 inhibitors.

Uretroplastia cu mucoasæ bucalæ pentru stricturi uretrale Introduction: About urethral surgery was said to be alike, art and science. Over time there have been many ways imagined for urethral reconstruction, with results more or less satisfactory. More recently buccal mucosa graft is a standard surgical approach for urethral strictures. The objective of this presentation is to bring into question the advantages and disadvantages of buccal mucosa grafts as biological substitution material used in urethral reconstruction, alongside our department experience in this field. Material and method: Between 2009-2012 were diagnosed with recurrent urethral strictures 32 men with age between 29 and 68 years. They were operated using buccal mucosa graft for urethral lumen augmentation. The diagnosis was based on clinical examination, uroflowmetry, retrograde and voiding urethrography, exploratory urethral catheterization, urinary tract ultrasonography and urethrocystoscopy. Postoperative results were assessed clinically (patient satisfaction) and with uroflowmetry, retrograde and voiding urethrography and urethrocystoscopy. Results: Urethral strictures were classified according to etiology, location and length. Thus 13 patients (40.6%) had posttraumatic strictures, 15 patients (46.9%) had post inflammatory strictures including lichen planus and 4 patients (12.5%) with postoperative stricture after hypospadias surgery. The average length of urethral stricture segment was 4.2 cm. Stricture location was the penile urethra in 11 cases (34.4%) and 21 patients (65.6%) with location on bulbar urethra. Buccal mucosa harvesting was performed from jugal region in 30 cases (93.7%) and from lingual region in 2 cases (6.3%). Urethroplasty was performed in dorsal onlay graft manner in 18 cases (56.3%), ventral onlay graft manner in 7 cases (21.9%), dorsal inlay graft manner in 5 patients (15.6%) and 2 patients (6.2%) with tubularized buccal mucosa. The mean duration of patients’ follow-up was 7.2 months. Good functional and aesthetic results were obtained in 26 patients (81.2%), consisting of Revista Românæ de Urologie 53 Uretræ, penis pacienfli (81,2 %), constând în micfliuni facile øi jet urinar bun, menflinute pe perioada de urmærire.

Immediate complications were represented by wound dehiscence in 2 cases (6.2%) and urinary fistula occurred in 1 patient (3.1%). Late complications were the strictures in the proximal or distal anastomosis, occurred in 6 patients (18.7%), which required urethral dilatation or optical internal urethrotomy. Conclusion: Being easily harvested and handled with remarkable biological, histological and mechanical properties, buccal mucosa is an ideal solution for surgical correction of urethral strictures. Surgical technique suitable for the type of urethral stricture is an essential requirement for achieving a functional and aesthetically satisfactory result for the patient. nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 Multistage urethroplasty in hypospadias C.

Multistage urethroplasty in hypospadias, a method of treatment for the patients who suffered multiple interventions with one or more urethral fistulas as complications. Methods and Results. In first stage it is solved the cudure of the penis (if present) and it is made a urethral bed from the prepuce or oral mucosa. In the second intervention the neourethra is made. Discussion. Hypospadias with fistulae and multiple scars presents difficulties in reconstruction. So, it is recommended to eliminate all the inappropriate tissues and reconstruct the urethral bed for a second urethroplasty. Results are better using this technique then the separate reconstruction of the defects (fistulas), the new urethral bed represents a good support for urethroplasty.

Introduction. Although the principles of reconstructive urethral surgery are well known, continuous improvements of the techniques are made and indications are refined by the urologists. The bulbar urethra is the most common site for urethral strictures, etiology, length and depth of the spongiofibrosis being variable. Usually a primary end to end anastomosis is indicated for up to 2 cm posttraumatic strictures, while longer ones require a form of substitution urethroplasty. Obiective. Scopul acestei lucræri este de a prezenta tehnica chirurgicalæ øi rezultatele “augmented roof anastomosis”, o combinaflie între uretroplastia anastomoticæ øi cea de substituflie. Objectives. The aim of this paper is to present the intervention and results of augmented roof anastomosis, a combined technique between an anastomotic and substitution urethroplasties. Materiale øi metodæ. În ultimii 10 ani (2003-2013) am efectuat 528 de uretroplastii pentru o patologie uretralæ variatæ. În 224 din cazuri strictura a fost localizatæ la nivel bulbar, practicându-se 78 de uretroplastii anastomotice termino-terminale, 114 uretroplastii de substituflie cu grefæ de mucoasæ bucalæ (GMB) sau grefæ de prepufl, øi 32 uretroplastii tip “augmented roof anastomosis”. Aceastæ tehnicæ a fost folositæ pentru stricturi de 2-6 cm lungime, øi presupune mobilizarea extensivæ a uretrei bulbare, cu stricturotomie dorsalæ øi spatularea a câte 1 cm de uretræ sanatoasæ la ambele capete. Segmentul de stricturæ strânsæ (calibru <6 Ch) este rezecat, cu sau færæ transecflia uretrei. Partea ventralæ este anastomozatæ, în timp ce pe partea dorsalæ anastomoza este augmentatæ cu grefæ de mucoasæ bucalæ (în 27 de cazuri) sau de prepufl (în 5 cazuri). O sonda Foley de 18-20 Ch este menflinutæ timp de 14-21 de zile. Materials and methods. During the last 10 years (20032013) we have performed 528 urethroplasties for different urethral pathologies. 224 cases had bulbar urethral strictures, and we performed 78 direct end to end anastomoses, 114 substitution urethroplasties with BM or prepuce skin graft, and 32 augmented roof anastomoses. This technique was used for strictures of 2-6 cm in length, and consists of extensive mobilization of the bulbar urethra, and dorsal stricturotomy with 1 cm spatulation of the healthy margins. The narrow segment of the stricture (< 6 Ch) is resected using a transecting or nontransecting technique. Then a ventral strip anastomosis is performed while the dorsal part of the anastomosis is augmented with buccal mucosa graft (in 27 cases) or prepuce skin graft (in 5 cases). An 18-20 Ch Foley catheter is left in place for 14-21 days. Rezultate. Pacienflii au fost externafli dupæ 3-8 zile postoperator.

Conclusions. Augmented roof anastomosis is a safe and effective surgical technique. It combines the advantages of the resection of the narrow part of the stricture with those of a dorsal graft augmentation, and ensures the optimal reconstruction of long bulbar urethral strictures without significant ventral chordee.

Eritroplazia Queirat (EQ) este o patologie raræ, întâlnitæ în special la nivelul glandului øi prepuflului. Ea este clasificatæ ca øi carcinom in situ al penisului (CIS), iar diagnosticul se pune histopatologic. Progresia spre carcinom scuamos are loc în aproximativ 30% din cazuri. Aceastæ lucrare are ca obiectiv prezentarea experienflei noastre cu aceastæ boalæ raræ. Si subliniazæ faptul cæ orice leziune eritematoasæ în placa de la nivelul glandului sau prepuflului care nu se vindecæ ridicæ suspiciunea de EQ øi ar trebui biopsiatæ. Introduction & Objectives. Erythroplasia of Queirat (EQ) is a rare condition that mainly occurs on the penile glans or prepuce. This disease is classified as carcinoma in situ (CIS) of the penis and the diagnosis is histopathological. Progression to squamous-cell carcinoma occurs in up to 30% of cases. Our objectives are to present our experience with this rare disease and to emphasize that every time that a non-healing erythematous plaque of the penile glans or prepuce is encountered, EQ should be suspected and a biopsy should be done. Materiale øi metode. În perioada ianuarie 2006 øi ianuarie 2013 am înregistrat 9 cazuri de EQ. Leziunea a fost singularæ la 8 dintre ele (88.88%), øi multiplæ la al 9-lea (11.11%). La 2 pacienfli cu afectare prepuflialæ (22.22%) am efectuat circumcizie. La ceilalfli 7 pacienfli (77.77%), cu leziuni de gland, dupæ biopsie s-a aplicat local 5-FU (sub formæ de cremæ). La 5 dintre aceøtia (71.42%) tratamentul topic a fost eficient, leziunile dispærând, iar biopsiile ulterioare fiind negative pentru malignitate. La ultimii 2 pacienfli (28.57%) boala nu a fost astfel controlatæ øi a fost nevoie de glansectomie øi glandectomie cu grefæ de piele plasatæ pe corpii cavernoøi pentru un aspect cosmetic superior. Materials and Methods. During January 2006 – January 2013 we encountered 9 cases of EQ. We registered a single lesion for 8 patients (88.88%) and multiple lesions for the 9 patient (11.11%). For 2 patients (22.22%) with prepuce lesions we performed circumcision. For 7 patients (77.77%) with glans lesions, after biopsy, our first treatment was topical 5-FU (5fluorouracil cream). After the topical treatment, the result was effective in 5 cases out of 7 (71.42%), the lesions having disappeared and the biopsies being negative for malignancy. In 2 patients (28.57%) the lesions were not adequately controlled and glansectomy was required, with skin graft on the corporal heads for better functional and cosmetic aspects. Rezultate. Vârsta medie a fost de 65 de ani (între 52 øi 72 de ani). Timpul mediu de urmærire post tratament a fost de 36 de luni (între 6 øi 85 de luni). Nu s-au înregistrat complicaflii imediate sau tardive, nici recurente locale sau la distanflæ. Circumcizia sau glandectomia cu grefæ de piele pe capetele corpilor cavernoøi au asigurat un aspect cosmetic bun øi au asigurat funcflionarea normalæ a penisului. Results. The median age was 65 years (range 52 – 72 years). The median follow-up was 36 months (range 6 – 85 months). No immediate or late complications were registered, with no local recurrence or metastasis detected. The circumcision and glansectomy with skin graft on the corporal heads provided a great cosmetic aspect, and didn’t impair in any way the functionality of the penis. Concluzii. Din cauza prezentærii sale ciudate øi a raritæflii sale, Eritroplazia Queirat nu este diagnosticatæ øi, implicit, terapia sa nu este instituitæ. Tratamentul local este destul de eficient, însæ când nu funcflioneazæ, trebuie sæ se recurgæ la excizia chirurgicalæ a leziunii. Circumcizia øi glansectomia cu grefæ de piele plasatæ pe corpii cavernoøi sunt intervenflii care asiguræ controlul oncologic al bolii øi au rezultate estetice øi funcflionale foarte bune. Conclusions. Due to its odd look and rarity, Erithropasia of Queirat is not recognized, and therefore its therapy can’t be administered. Topical treatment is quite effective, but when it fails, surgery should be performed. Circumcision and glansectomy with skin graft on the corporal heads are safe oncological procedures, with good functional and cosmetic results.

Sarcomul Kaposi (SK) a fost prima datæ raportat de Moritz Kaposi în 1872, descriind o patologie malignæ a endoteliului vascular cu origine multifocalæ, ce afecteazæ cu precædere extremitatea inferioaræ a corpului. Prezentarea primaræ la nivelul penisului este raræ, fiind mai frecvent observatæ la pacienflii cu SIDA. Aceøtia, de cele mai multe ori, dezvoltæ o formæ agresivæ, iar în 2-3% din cazuri leziunile peniene de SK sunt prima manifestare a bolii. În aceastæ lucrare vrem sæ prezentæm douæ cazuri de SK primar de la nivelul penisului tratate în centrul nostru. Introductions and Objectives. Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) was first reported by Moritz Kaposi in 1872, to describe a malignant disease of the vascular endothelium that has multifocal origin and occurs primarily on the lower extremities. Primary presentation on the penis is rare and it is more often observed in AIDS patients. They usually develop an aggressive form, and in approximately 2-3% of cases penile KS lesions are the first manifestation of the disease. In this paper we want to present two cases of primary KS of the penis that were registered in our department. Materiale øi metode. Din câte øtim noi, mai puflin de 50 de cazuri de SK clasic, neasociat imunosupresiei (cum ar fi SIDA) sunt raportate în literaturæ. Primul caz prezintæ un bærbat de 68 de ani, cu tumoræ penianæ de 12 luni. La examenul fizic sau observat øi multiple leziuni la nivelul glandului, în apropierea meatului urinar øi al øantului coronal, cu infiltrarea distalæ a corpului penian. Aspectul acestor leziuni era patognomonic pentru SK, dar tumora semæna mai mult cu un carcinom scuamos. Pacientul nu prezenta adenopatie ingino-femuralæ. S-a practicat amputaflie penianæ parflialæ, cu rezecflia concomitentæ a leziunilor de piele. Examenul anatomopatologic a arætat margini chirurgicale negative øi un aspect de SK clasic. La 6 luni de la intervenflie o leziune de 5 mm a apærut pe penisul restant. Sub anestezie localæ, aceasta a fost excizatæ, iar rezultatul anatomopatologic a fost tot de SK. La 14 luni postoperator nu au mai fost înregistrate semne de recurenflæ sau progresie localæ, iar serologia HIV a fost în fiecare etapæ negativæ. Al doilea caz prezintæ un bærbat de 40 de ani, cu o leziune penianæ la nivelul glandului de 16 luni (situatæ în apropierea øanflului coronal, ce fusese Material and methods. To our knowledge less than 50 cases of isolated classic KS without any association with AIDS or immunosuppression were reported in the literature. The first case: a 68 year old man, with a 12 months history of penile tumor. Physical examination revealed multiple lesions on the penile glans near the external meatal and coronal sulcus and also infiltration of the distal penile shaft. The clinical aspect of these lesions was patognomonic for KS but the clinical aspect of the penile tumor was closer to SCC. The inguinofemoral nodes were not enlarged. We performed partial penile amputation and also resect the skin lesions. The anatomopathological report showed negative margins for all lesions, and an aspect compatible with classic KS. 6 months after the surgical intervention a 5 mm lesion appeared on the restant penile shaft. Under local anesthesia we resected it and the histopathological report showed KS again. At 14 months follow-up no signs of progression or local recurrence were registered. Also HIV serology was always negative. The second case: a 40 year old man with a 16 month history of a lesion of the glans (near the coronal nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 Revista Românæ de Urologie Uretræ, penis PM.4.7. Sarcomul Kaposi primar al penisului – un diagnostic pe care urologul ar trebui sæ-l aibæ în vedere 59 Uretræ, penis deja rezecatæ). Pacientul nu prezenta adenopatie inginofemuralæ la momentul prezentærii. Pe baza examenului anatomopatologic de la rezecflia anterioaræ, s-a pus diagnosticul de SK clasic. Cum marginile chirurgicale erau pozitive, s-a practicat glansectomie, cu reconstrucflia glandului cu grefæ de piele plasatæ pe corpii cavernoøi. La 24 de luni postoperator nu au fost observate semne de recidivæ localæ sau la distanflæ, iar serologia HIV a fost negativæ pe parcursul urmæririi. Rezultate. Acestea sunt singurele 2 cazuri de SK primar al penisului documentate øi prezentate în literatura medicalæ din România. Intervenfliile chirurgicale nu au fost grevate de complicaflii. Primul pacient a fost externat în ziua a IV-a postoperator, iar al doilea în ziua a IX-a postoperator. Rezultatele oncologice au fost bune în ambele cazuri, cu aspecte funcflionale øi cosmetice pozitive. Istoricul øi testele efectuate nu au evidenfliat nicio cauzæ de imunosupresie. Concluzii. Deøi rar, SK izolat al penisului trebuie sæ fie inclus în diagnosticul diferenflial al leziunilor nespecifice ale penisului, mai ales când sunt observate macule roøii-purpurii. Excizia chirurgicalæ este cea mai siguræ metodæ de tratament, cu morbiditate minimæ. Deøi nu existæ o urmærire postoperatorie eficientæ, recurenfla localæ este raræ dacæ leziunea primaræ este complet rezecatæ. Apariflia de leziuni noi la distanflæ poate fi observatæ dupæ 1-2 ani. 60 Revista Românæ de Urologie sulcus that had previously been excised). The inguinofemoral nodes were normal at physical examination. Based on the previous histopathological report, nodular phase of classic Kaposi’s sarcoma was diagnosed. Positive surgical margins were also mentioned. We performed glansectomy and penile reconstruction with skin graft on the corporal heads. 24 months follow-up showed no evidence of local or distant recurrence, and HIV serology was negative. Results. These 2 cases are the single ones documented and reported as primary KS of the penis in Romanian medical literature. Surgical interventions were uneventful. First patient was discharged in the 4 th postoperative day, the th second patient was discharged in the 9 postoperative day. The oncologic outcome was good in both cases, with positive esthetic and functional results. Medical history and tests didn’t reveal immunosuppression in any of the patients. Conclusions. Although rare, isolated KS of the penis must be considered among the differential diagnosis of non specific lesions of the penis, especially when red-wine spots are noted. Surgical excision is the safest method of treatment with the lowest morbidity. Although no consistent follow-up data exists, local recurrence is rare if the lesion is completely removed. Onset of distant new lesions may be observed after 1 - 2 years. nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 1 1 1 Veronica Ghirca , L. Lakatos , B. Uzun , 1,2 1,2 1,2 O. Vida , C. Todea , A. Szollosi , 1,2 1,2 C.

The objective of this study consist in revealed the role of urodynamics in establishing the diagnosis of voiding disorders on young men under the age of 40. Material øi metodæ: Acest studiu a fost realizat pe o perioadæ de 12 luni (ianuarie- decembrie 2012) la Clinica Urologicæ din Târgu Mureø unde au fost internafli 1177 de pacienfli cu retenflie de urinæ. Dintre aceøtia, la un numær de 17 bærbafli cu vârsta sub 40 de ani s-au efectuat determinæri urodinamice în vederea stabilirii cauzei de retenflie de urinæ. Materials and method: We performed a retrospective study over 12 months (January-December 2012) at Department of Urology from Târgu Mureø where there were 1177 pacients hospitalised with urinary retention.On 17 pacients under 40 years old was performed urodynamic tests for establishing the cause of urinary retention. Rezultate: 4 dintre pacienfli au prezentat în momentul internærii retenflie completæ de urinæ, fiind purtætori de sondæ uretro-vezicalæ øi 13 pacienfli, retenflie incompletæ de urinæ având un rezidiu post-micflional cuprins între 20-250 ml (evidentiat ecografic). Cauzele retenfliei de urinæ au fost predominant organice: stricturæ uretralæ în cazul a 5 pacienfli, stricturæ uretralæ øi stenozæ de meat uretral în cazul a 5 pacienfli, fimozæ, 2 pacienfli. În aceste cazuri, debitmetria a evidenfliat valori scæzute ale Qmax, cuprinse între 3,3-16,2. În aceste cazuri debitmetria a fost suficientæ în stabilirea cauzei organice, respectiv tipul acesteia. 5 dintre pacienfli au prezentat curbe debitmetrice normale având un rezidiu post-micflional cuprins între 80-200 ml. În aceste cazuri, cistomanometria respectiv determinærile flux-presiune au reuøit sæ stabileascæ existenfla unei vezici neurogene (dissinergie vezico-sfincterianæ, vezica hipoactivæ). 6 dintre pacienfli au prezentat infecflie urinaræ asociatæ, 4 prostatitæ cronicæ øi 1 pacient TBC urogenital. 3 dintre pacienfli erau cunoscufli cu afecfliuni neuro-psihice: tetraparezæ spasticæ, tulburæri de personalitate, Sdr Down. Results: 4 of the pacients presented in the moment of hospitalisation complete urinary retention having a urinary catheter and 13 pacients presented incomplete urinary retention having a residual urine between 20-250 ml (ultrasound revealed). The causes of urinary retention were majority organics: urethral stricture, 5 pacients, urethral stricture and urethral meatal stenosis, 5 pacients, phimosis, 2 pacients. In those cases uroflowmetry emphasised low values of Qmax between 3,3-16,2. In those cases the uroflowmetry was enough to establish the organic cause and it’s type. 5 of the pacients presented normal uroflowmetry curves having a residual urine between 80-200 ml. In those cases the cistometry and flow-pressure investigations succeeded to establish the diagnosis of neurogenic bladder (bladder sphincter dyssynergia, underactive bladder). 6 of the pacients presented urinary infection associated, 4 of them cronic prostatitis and one pacient, urogenital TBC. 3 of the pacients were known having neuro-psychiatric diseases: spastic paraparesis, personality disorders, Down syndrome. Concluzii: Determinærile urodinamice reprezintæ metode de investigaflie, cu un rol esenflial în stabilirea diagnosticului etiologic al tulburærilor de evacuare la pacienflii tineri. O curbæ debitmetricæ normalæ la un pacient cu rezidiu post-mictional nu exclude existenfla unei cauze funcflionale de retenflie urinaræ. Conclusions: The urodynamics represent methodes of investigation which have an essential role in establishing the etiological diagnosis in voiding disorders on young men. A normal uroflowmetry curve to a pacient with residual urine do not exclude the existence of a functionality cause of urinary retention. 2 nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 Revista Românæ de Urologie Urologie funcflionalæ øi reconstructivæ PM.5.1.

Retenflia cronicæ de urinæ cu cât este mai frecventæ la bærbafli, cu atât este mai raræ la femei. Examinærile urodinamice (debitmetria, cistomanometria) sunt determinærile cele mai importante în stabilirea diagnosticului etiopatogenic al retenfliei cronice de urinæ. În aceastæ lucrare retrospectivæ am urmærit pacientele diagnosticate în clinica noastræ cu retenflie cronicæ de urinæ în cursul anului 2012. Introduction, objectives. Chronic retention of urine, the more common it is in men, the rarer it is in women. Urodynamic examinations (uroflow, pressure-flow study, cistometry) are the most important measurements in determining the etiopathogenic diagnosis of chronic urine retention. In this retrospective study we followed patients diagnosed in our clinic with chronic urine retention over the course of 2012. Material øi metodæ. În perioada studiatæ (anul 2012) la Clinica Urologie Târgu Mureø au fost diagnosticafli în total 1177 (100%) de pacienfli cu retenflie cronicæ de urinæ, dintre care 19 au fost femei (1,61%). La toate pacientele incluse în studiu am efectuat pe lângæ examinærile clinice, paraclinice, imagistice uzuale (ex. de laborator, ecografie, urografie intravenoasæ) øi determinæri urodinamice (debitmetrie, studiu flux-presiune, cistomanometrie), respectiv control uretro-cistoscopic. Materials and methods. Over the studied period (2012), at the Urology Clinic of Târgu Mureø, there were a total of 1177 (100%) patients diagnosed with chronic urine retention, of which 19 were women (1.61%). To all the women patients included in the study we conducted in addition to clinical examination: laboratory, common imaging examinations (eg ultrasound, intravenous urography), urodynamic measurements (uroflow, pressure-flow study, cistometry) and control urethro-cystoscopy. Rezultate. Din punct de vedere al etiologiei retenfliilor la femei, obstrucflia subvezicalæ a fost principala cauzæ, dintre care stenoza de meat uretral extern a fost prezentæ în 6 cazuri, polip de meat uretral extern 3 cazuri, cistocel 3 cazuri, stricturæ uretralæ 2 cazuri, abces periuretral 1 caz, TOT în antecedente la 1 pacientæ. Dintre cauzele funcflionale ale retenfliei cronice au fost prezente urmætoarele: vezicæ neurogenæ 6 cazuri, vezicæ hipoactivæ/acontractilæ 4 cazuri, disinergie detrusoro-sfincterianæ 2 cazuri, vezicæ hiperactivæ 1 caz. Dintre antecedentele personale patologice cele mai frecvente au fost: afectarea coloanei vertebrale dorsolombare (11), tumorile genitale maligne (8 cazuri), majoritatea iradiate (cu o singuræ excepflie), litiaza renalæ (4), tumorile vezicale (3), spinæ bifidæ (2), paraplegie flascæ øi meningo-mielocel câte un caz, diabet zaharat 2 cazuri. Results. Examining urine retention in women from an etiologycal point of view, bladder outlet obstruction was found to be the main cause, of which external urethral meatus stenosis was present in 6 cases, external urethral meatus polyp 3 cases, 3 cases of cystocele, 2 cases of urethral stricture, 1 case of periurethral abscess, TOT in the medical history of one patient. From among the functional causes of chronic retention the following were present: 6 cases of a neurogenic bladder, underactive /non- contractile bladder 4 cases, 2 cases of detrusoro-sphincter disinergy, one overactive bladder. From the personal medical history, the most common causes were: impaired spinal function (11), malignant genital tumors (8 cases), most were irradiated (with one exception), kidney stones (4), bladder tumors (3), spina bifida (2), flaccid paraplegia and meningo-mielocel in one case, 2 diabetes cases. Concluzii: În caz de retenflie cronicæ de urinæ în general, dar mai ales la femei trebuie sæ acordæm atenflie specialæ pentru stabilirea diagnosticului øi determinarea conduitei terapeutice, în care au un rol central investigafliile urodinamice. Diagnosticul cert al retenfliei cronice de urinæ øi a cauzei acestuia este imposibil/inimaginabil færæ determinæri urodinamice. Conclusions. For the cases of chronic retention of urine in general, but especially in the case of women special attention must be payed to the diagnosis and the determination of therapeutic conduct, where urodynamic investigations have a central role.

Scopul acestui studiu a fost de a compara aspectele morfologice øi eficacitatea diagnosticæ a citologiei urinare în mediu lichid utilizând tehnica NOVA prep®vial cu metoda convenflionalæ. Introduction: Urine cytology specimens are commonly encountered in daily practice and include voided/ catheterized urines and washing from bladder, ureters and renal pelvis. Cytologic examination of urine specimens is often the initial step for bladder cancer screening and diagnosis. However, there is a wide range in the sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of low-grade versus high-grade urotelial carcinomas partially due to the bland nuclear features exhibited by the low grade lesions. The aim of this study was to compare the morphologic features and diagnostic efficacy of NOVA prep® vial test liquid-based cytology (LCB) and conventional smear (CS) method of testing urine. Material øi metode: Au fost incluse în studiu un numær de 30 de cazuri de eøantioane de urinæ colectate în perioada Decembrie 2011 – Septembrie 2012. Toate probele de urinæ au fost în mod egal testate utilizând atât metoda convenflionalæ prin centrifugare, cât øi tehnica în mediu lichid NOVA prep®vial test. Rezultate: Preparatele citologice obflinute prin tehnica în mediu lichid au demonstrat o mai mare celularitate, un fond mai curat øi aspecte citomorfologice mai bune. Material and methods: A total of 30 cases of urine specimens collected from December 2011 to September 2012 were included. All specimens were divided equally for the preparation of NOVA prep® vial test LCB and CS for each case. Results: NOVA prep® vial test LCB revealed more cellularity, a cleaner background and a better cytomorphologic features. Conclusions: The NOVA prep® vial test LCB showed an improved quality of slides and provided better diagnostic accuracy, thus NOVA prep vial test could be a first line screening tool in urinary tract cytology. Concluzii: Citologia urinaræ în mediu lichid prin tehnica NOVA prep®vial test a îmbunætæflit calitatea preparatelor citologice øi a prezentat o mai bunæ acuratefle diagnosticæ. Astfel NOVA prep®vial test ar putea fi un instrument de screening de primæ linie în citologia de tract urinar. 64 Revista Românæ de Urologie nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 M. Jecu, F. Stænescu, C.

Material øi Metodæ: Un numær de 95 pacienfli consecutivi cu suspiciune de cancer vezical non-invaziv a fost inclus în studiu. Criteriile de includere au fost reprezentate de hematurie totalæ, citologie urinaræ pozitivæ øi/sau suspiciune ecograficæ de tumoræ vezicalæ. În toate cazurile s-a practicat cistoscopie în luminæ albæ urmatæ de cistoscopie NBI. Rezecflia standard a fost practicatæ pentru toate tumorile vizibile în luminæ albæ, în timp ce rezecflia în NBI a fost aplicatæ doar în cazul leziunilor observate exclusiv în NBI. Rezultate: Ratele de detecflie pe pacienfli, per global precum øi în cazurile de CIS au fost semnificativ îmbunætæflite la cistoscopia NBI comparativ cu cea standard (96,2% versus 87,2% øi 100% versus 66,7%). De asemenea, în ceea ce priveøte detecflia per leziuni, modul NBI a evidenfliat o superioritate semnificativæ în cazurile de CIS, pTa precum øi per global (95,2% versus 61,9%, 93,9% versus 85,2% øi respectiv 94,8% versus 83,9%). Cistoscopia NBI a descoperit tumori suplimentare într-o proporflie semnificativ mai ridicatæ în comparaflie cu metoda standard în cazurile de CIS, pTa, pT1 precum øi per global (55,5% versus 11,1%, 26,5% versus 10,2%, 30% versus 10% øi respectiv 30,8% versus 10,3%).

Cistoscopia NBI în cancerul vezical non-invaziv – o comparaflie prospectivæ cu metoda standard Objectives: The trial aimed to assess the impact of narrow band imaging (NBI) cystoscopy in cases of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). A single centre, prospective comparison to the standard white light cystoscopy (WLC) was performed. Materials and Methods: A total of 95 NMIBC suspected consecutive cases were enrolled. The inclusion criteria were hematuria, positive urinary cytology and/or ultrasound suspicion of bladder tumors. All patients underwent WLC and NBI cystoscopy. Standard resection was performed for all lesions visible in WL and NBI-TURBT for only NBI observed tumors. Results: The overall NMIBC and CIS patients’ detection rates were significantly improved for NBI (96.2% versus 87.2% and 100% versus 66.7%). Also, on a lesions’ related basis, NBI cystoscopy emphasized a significantly superior detection concerning the CIS, pTa and overall tumors (95.2% versus 61.9%, 93.9% versus 85.2% and 94.8% versus 83.9%, respectively). Additional tumors were diagnosed by NBI in a significant proportion of CIS, pTa, pT1 and NMIBC patients (55.5% versus 11.1%, 26.5% versus 10.2%, 30% versus 10% and 30.8% versus 10.3%) More over, pathologically confirmed positive tumoral margins secondary to white light TURBT were found at the NBI control in 10.3% of the cases. The postoperative treatment was significantly improved due to NBI results (16.7% versus 5.1%). Conclusions: NBI cystoscopy represents a valuable diagnostic alternative in NMIBC patients, with significant improvement of tumor visual accuracy as well as detection. This approach provided a substantial amelioration to the bladder cancer therapeutic management. Revista Românæ de Urologie 65 Tumori vezicale PM.6.3.

Cistoscopia standard øi cistoscopia NBI urmate de vaporizare bipolaræ cu plasmæ au fost efectuate în fiecare caz. O singuræ instilaflie postoperatorie cu epirubicinæ, Re-TUR monopolar la 4 sæptæmâni øi 1 an de terapie intravezicalæ cu BCG au fost efectuate în toate cazurile de tumori non-invazive. Protocolul de urmærire a inclus ecografie, citologie urinaræ øi cistoscopie standard efectuatæ la fiecare 3 luni pe o perioadæ de 2 ani øi apoi la 6 luni în al treilea an. Rezultate: Ratele de detecflie pentru CIS (94,6% versus 67,6%), pTa (93% versus 82,4%) øi per global pentru tumorile vezicale non-invazive (94,9% versus 84,3%) au fost semnificativ îmbunætæflite pentru cistoscopia NBI în comparaflie cu cea standard. Cistoscopia NBI a diagnosticat semnificativ mai multe cazuri de tumori adiflionale (30,5% versus 9,5%) ca øi margini tumorale extinse în cazul a 10,5% dintre pacienfli. Vaporizarea bipolaræ cu plasmæ a oferit rate satisfæcætoare referitoare la stimularea nervului obturator (3,2%) øi perforafliile peretelui vezical (1,1%), ca øi scæderea medie a hemoglobinei (0.2 g/dl) øi sângeræri postoperatorii (1.1%) reduse. Perioada medie de cateterizare (47,2 ore) øi respectiv de spitalizare (2,9 zile) au fost scæzute. Ratele de tumori reziduale la Re-TUR, globalæ (6,3%) øi pentru leziunile ortotopice (4,2%) au fost scæzute pentru abordul cistoscopie NBI - vaporizare bipolaræ cu plasmæ. Ratele de recurenflæ pentru tumorile vezicale non-invazive la un an (7,9%), doi ani(11,5%) øi trei ani (16,3%) au fost reduse pentru grupul de studiu. Concluzii: Cistoscopia NBI a îmbunætæflit semnificativ acurateflea, în timp ce vaporizarea bipolaræ cu plasmæ a evidenfliat o eficienflæ chirurgicalæ superioaræ, o morbiditate redusæ øi o recuperare postoperatorie rapidæ diagnosticæ în cazurile de tumori vezicale non-invazive voluminoase. Tehnica combinatæ NBIvaporizare bipolaræ cu plasmæ a oferit ratæ redusæ de tumori reziduale la Re-TUR ca øi rate de recurenflæ scæzute la 1,2 øi 3 ani.

Bulai, P. Geavlete Department of Urology, “Saint John” Emergency Clinical Hospital, Bucharest Objectives: This three-year retrospective study aimed to evaluate the long term recurrence rates of combined narrow band imaging (NBI) cystoscopy and bipolar plasma vaporization (BPV) in cases of large non-muscle inavsive bladder tumors. Patients and Methods: A total of 110 patients with at least one apparently non-muscle invasive bladder tumor (NMIBT) over 3 cm were included in the trial based on abdominal ultrasound, computer tomography and flexible WLC. The patients underwent WLC, NBI cystoscopy followed by BPV. A single postoperative epirubicin instillation, standard monopolar ReTUR at 4 weeks and one year’ BCG immunotherapy were applied in all NMIBT cases. The follow-up protocol included ultrasound, urinary cytology and WLC, performed every 3 months for a period of 2 years and every 6 months in the third year. Results: The CIS (94.6% versus 67.6%), pTa (93% versus 82.4%) and overall NMIBT (94.9% versus 84.3%) detection rates were significantly improved for NBI cystoscopy by comparison to WLC. NBI diagnosed significantly more cases of additional tumors (30.5% versus 9.5%) as well as extended tumoral margins in 10.5% of patients. BPV provided satisfactory obturator nerve stimulation (3.2%) and bladder wall perforation (1.1%) rates, as well as reduced mean hemoglobin drop (0.2 g/dl) and postoperative bleeding (1.1%). The catheterization period (47.2 hours) and hospital stay (2.9 days) were shorter subsequent to BPV. The overall (6.3%) and primary site (4.2%) residual tumors’ rates at ReTUR were decreased for the NBI-BPV approach. The one (7.9%), two (11.5%) and three (16.3%) years’ NMIBT recurrence rates were reduced in the NBI-BPV group. Conclusions: NBI cystoscopy displayed significantly improved diagnostic accuracy and BPV emphasized superior efficacy, reduced morbidity and faster postoperative recovery in large NMIBT cases. The NBI-BPV technique provided a lower Re-TUR residual tumors’ rate as well as reduced 1, 2 and 3 years’ recurrence rates. POSDRU/107/1.5/S/82839. nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 1 1 2 M. D. Vartolomei , R.M.

TUR-V is the gold standard therapy in superficial bladder tumors. The purpose of this paper is to identify the recurrence rate by staging anatomopathological - low grade (G1, G2) and high grade (G3). Material and Methods: The study is a retrospective with follow-up period averaging 38 months, conducted on a sample of 207 patients who underwent TUR-V in therapy, during January 2006 - December 2007. Results: In the above-mentioned period were performed 207 TUR-V superficial bladder tumors in the 51/207 24.63% cases (T1 or CIS), 15/207 cases 7.24% (G1pTa), 112/207 cases, 54, 10% (G2pTa) and 29/207 cases, 14% (G3pTa). There were 42/207 (20.28%) women and 165/207 (79.72%) men, aged between 21 years and 89 years, with an average age 64 years. Most patients were presented with macroscopic haematuria. G1pTa bladder cancer patients showed a recurrence rate 3/15 (20%), while in case of G2pTa 27/112 (24.10%), and in patients with G3pTa recurrence rate was 16/29 (55.17%). 26/112 patients in group G2pTa received BCG instillation 2 years. We observed an incidence of relapse of 4 cases 15.38%, only in patients who were older than 65 years. Conclusions: TUR-V is the best choice of treatment in patients with superficial bladder tumors non-muscle invasive. In well selected cases, BCG therapy can significantly decrease relapse rate of 9.72% of bladder tumors in G2pTa. G3pTa patients, monotherapy TUR-V is followed by a high rate of recurrence.

Introduction: By definition the superficial bladder cancer is a papillary tumor confined to the bladder mucosa which is classified as Ta, tumors which invades lamina propria are classified as T1 after TNM staging. Ta and T1 can be removed by transurethral resection. Although it is considered that the TUR-V can eradicate bladder tumors in stage Ta, T1, in many cases they can recur and progress to muscle invasive bladder cancer. Because of these observations needed to be considered further adjuvant intravesical therapy in all patients with superficial bladder tumors. Intravesical treatment with BCG is considered to be a viable and effective option in these patients, with major side effects occurred in less than 5% of patients.

The intravesical BCG therapy in patients with nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer is an important stage in the treatment of the condition, considerably improving the outcome and reducing the rate of recurrence and tumoral progression. Despite of the fact that major systemic side effects of the therapy are rarely mentioned in the medical literature, common local side effects like dysuria, frequent voiding, urgency or bladder spasms can affect the patient’s quality of life. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of BCG therapy local side effects on patients’ quality of life. Material and methods. Symptoms and adverse effects of the BCG intravesical treatment was recorded before, during and after the six-weeks induction phase after TUR-BT in the case of 18 patients. The quality of live was evaluated by using the EORTC QLQ30 – BLS24 questionnaire which was given weekly to the patients. Results. Due to the variety of symptoms and local side effects encompassed in the questionnaire, the assessment of the results was done in an objective manner. Patients described as sastifactory the quality of life and was not greatly impaired by the intravesical BCG therapy. The side effects encountered correlated with the patient’s subjective evaluation. Conclusions. Although the study was conducted on a restrained number of patients, that did not interfere with the results which were considered to be of relevance. The study concluded that the adjuvant treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer with BCG instillations does not have a great impact on the patients’ quality of life, which was considered to be satisfactory. nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 G.

În lotul de 13 pacienfli (C) cu carcinom vezical scuamos invaziv (tofli de sex masculin) Methods. The study included 389 patients with infiltrating bladder cancer operated between 1990/2013. The histological diagnosis included tumoral variants such as urothelial carcinoma (transitional cell carcinoma - 297 patients), divergent differentiation urothelial carcinoma (57 patients: squamous differentiation - 52 patients, squamous and adenocarcinoma differentiation - 3 patients, adenocarcinoma differentiation - 2 patients) and nonurothelial carcinoma (35 patients). Group A – urothelial carcinoma – included 258 patients(39patients were lost from follow-up). The mean age of the group was 61 years (18 females and 240 males). The tumoral staging included 18 patients with pT1, 114 patients with pT2, 72 patients with pT3 and 54 patients with pT4. Lymph nodes involvement was present in 18 patients with N1, 21 patients with N2, 12 patients with N3, 95 cases being identified with N0 and 112 cases with Nx. When the tumor grading was assessed 8 patients presented with G1, 111 patients with G2, 109 patients with G3 and 6 patients with G4. Group B - impure squamous carcinoma – included 52 patients (8 females and 44 males) with a mean age of 61.7 years, range 44-78. Tumoral staging detected was: 1 patient with pTa, 1 patient with pT1, 6 patients with pT2, 28 patients with pT3 and 16 patients with pT4. Lymph nodes involvement was present in 18 patients (8 - N1, 10 - N2), 25 cases being identified with N0 and 9 cases with Nx. When the tumor grading was assessed 12 patients presented with G2, 39 patients with G3, 1 patient with G4. Group C – pure squamous carcinoma – consisted of 13 male patients, with a mean age of 59 years. Staging varied from 1 caz with pT1, 3 cases with pT2, 7 cases with pT3 to 2 cases with pT4.

Stadierea a fost urmætoarea: pT1 – 1 caz, pT2 – 3 cazuri, pT3 – 7 cazuri, pT4 – 2 cazuri. Ganglioni pozitivi au fost decelati în 6 cazuri (N1- 3, N2 - 3), cu N0 - 6 pacienfli øi Nx – 1 pacient. Nu au fost decelate metastaze la momentul diagnosticului. Gradingul tumoral raportat a inclus 7 cazuri cu G2 øi 6 cazuri cu G3. Rezultate. În lotul cu carcinom urotelial, 44% dintre pacienfli sunt în viaflæ cu o medie de supraviefluire de 73 de luni. 56% dintre pacienfli au decedat, cu o medie de supraviefluire de 47 luni. În grupul ce a inclus pacienfli diagnosticafli cu carcinom scuamos asociat carcinomului urotelial urmærirea medie a fost de 36 de luni (între 1-156 de luni). 17 bolnavi (33%) sunt în viaflæ la 50 de luni postoperator. În grupul de pacienfli cu carcinom scuamos pur supraviefluirea medie a fost de 10 luni. Discuflii. În lotul A 50% dintre pacienfli au prezentat stadiu local avansat, tumora extinzându-se în afara peretelui vezical. În lotul B 84,6% dintre pacienfli au fost în stadiu local avansat, iar în lotul C 70% dintre pacienfli au fost în stadiu local avansat la prezentare. rest having N0 (6) or Nx (1). Tumor grading reported: G2 – 7 patients, G3 – 6 patients. Results. Group A had a median survival rate of 73 months, 44% of the patients survived. Death event was recorded in 56%, median survival period being 48 months. Group B had a median survival period of 36 month, range 1-156 months. At 50 months postoperatively 33% (17) of the patients are alive. Finally, group C had a median survival period if 10 months. Discussions. Advanced local stage disease with bladder wall extension represented 50% of the cases in group A. The percentage was even higher in group B – 84.6% and group C – 70%. Conclusions. It seems that the squamous component influences the outcome of the disease due to its biological characteristics in the evolution of squamous carcinoma, with advanced local stage disease at diagnosis – late onset of symptoms and lack of response at adjuvant treatment. Concluzii. Aparent elementul scuamos decelat la examenul histopatologic constituie un factor negativ în ceea ce priveøte prognosticul acestor bolnavi. Evoluflia nefavorabilæ ar putea fi explicabilæ prin particularitæflile biologice evolutive ale carcinomului scuamos prin diagnosticul în stadii mai avansate poate datoritæ unei evoluflii paucisimptomatice, dar øi lipsei de ræspuns la tratamentul adjuvant. 72 Revista Românæ de Urologie nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 G.

Lotul de studiu a cuprins 389 de pacienfli cu tumori vezicale invazive operafli între 1990/2012, tipurile histopatologice (HP) tumorale regæsite fiind urmætoarele: 297 de pacienfli au prezentat tumori uroteliale pure (carcinoame tranziflionale), 57 de pacienfli carcinoame uroteliale impure (52 de pacienfli – carcinom scuamos; 3 pacienfli - carcinom scuamos cu arii de adenocarcinom øi 2 pacienfli - adenocarcinom) øi un numær de 35 de pacienfli cu tumori nonuroteliale. Lotul de 52 de pacienfli cu diferenfliere scuamoasæ (A) a inclus 44 de bærbafli øi 8 femei, vârsta medie fiind de 61,7 ani (între 44-78 ani). Stadierea tumoralæ a fost urmætoarea: 1 caz - pTa, 1 caz - pT1, 6 cazuri - pT2, 28 cazuri - pT3, 16 cazuri - pT4. Dintre aceøtia, 18 pacienfli au avut ganglionii regionali pozitivi (8 - N1, 10 - N2), 25 de pacienfli au avut N0, iar în 9 cazuri nu s-a efectuat limfodisecflie. Grading-ul tumoral a cuprins: 12 cazuri - G2, 39 cazuri - G3, 1 caz - G4. Un singur pacient inclus în acest grup a prezentat metastazæ hepaticæ la momentul diagnosticului. Grupul cu mai multe componente histologice (B) a cuprins 3 pacienfli cu carcinom urotelial, scuamos øi adenocarcinom: 1 pacient - T3, 2 pacienfli T4, cu interesare ganglionaræ într-un singur caz (1 pacient - N0, 1 pacient - N2 øi 1 pacient - Nx). In toate cazurile gradingul tumoral a fost G3. A mai fost constituit un grup (C) ce a inclus 2 pacienfli cu carcinom urotelial øi adenocarcinom (1 caz - T3 øi 1 caz - T4 cu un caz N0 øi un caz N2; gradingul tumoral - G3). Methods. The study included 389 patients with invasive bladder cancer treated between 1990-2012. The histological diagnosis included tumoral variants such as urothelial carcinoma – 297 patients, variants of urothelial bladder cancer – 57 patients (squamous carcinoma – 52 patients squamous carcinoma and adenocarcinoma – 3 patients and adenocarcinoma – 2 patients) and non-urothelial bladder cancer – 35 patients. The squamous carcinoma (A) group included 52 patients (8 females and 44 males) with a mean age of 61.7 years. Moreover, the tumoral staging included 1 patient with pTa, 1 patient with pT1, 28 patients with pT3 and 16 patients with pT4. Lymph nodes involvement was present in 18 patients (N1 - 8 patients, N2 - 10 patients), 25 cases being identified with N0 and 9 cases with Nx. When the tumoral grading was assessed 12 patients had G2, 39 patients had G3 and 1 patient had G4. One patient included in the study presented with liver metastases. In the multiple histopathologic variants group (B) there were 3 patients with urothelial, squamous and adenocarcinoma. All patients presented with G3 disease: 1 patient – T3 and 2 patients – T4, with adenopathies in one case (N0 – 1 case, N2 – 1 case and Nx – 1 case). The last group (C) included 2 patients with urothelial and adenocarcinoma: T3 – 1 patient, T4 – 1 patient, with positive lymph nodes (N2) in only one case. Detected tumor grading was G3 in all cases. Rezultate. Urmærirea medie în grupul A a fost de 36 de luni (1-156 luni). 17 bolnavi (33%) sunt în viaflæ la 50 de luni postoperator. În grupul B media de supraviefluire a fost de 13 luni, în grupul C de 4,5 luni. Results. Average survival period in group A was 36 months (between 1-156 months). About 33% of patients (17) are alive at 50 months postoperatively. In group B was 13 months,in group C 4,5 months. Concluzii. Se pare cæ mixajul carcinom urotelial/diferenfliere scuamoasæ NU reprezintæ un factor major de agravare a prognosticului acestor bolnavi, având în vedere rata destul de bunæ de supraviefluire la 3 ani. Mixajul carcinom urotelial, scuamos øi adenocarcinom a scæzut supraviefluirea la 13 luni, pe când mixajul uroteliu adenocarcinom a dus la o supraviefluire de 4,5 luni. Se pare cæ adæugarea adenocarcinomului schimbæ total prognosticul acestor bolnavi. Conclusions. The study revealed the fact that urothelial – squamous carcinoma association does not worsen the prognosis if we take into account the survival rate at 3 years. Despite that, when adenocarcioma component is found along with the other two components the prognosis is radically changed, survival period decreasing. nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 Revista Românæ de Urologie Tumori vezicale PM.6.8.

The study included 389 patients with infiltrating bladder cancer operated between 1990/2012. The histological diagnosis included tumoral variants such as pure urothelial carcinoma (transitional cell carcinoma - 297 patients), impure urothelial carcinoma (57 patients: squamous differentiation 52 patients, squamous and adenocarcinoma differentiation - 3 patients, adenocarcinoma differentiation - 2 patients) and nonurothelial carcinoma (35 patients: squamous cell carcinoma – 13 patients, micropapillary carcinoma – 8 patients, neuroendocrine carcinoma – 2 patients and other variants like sarcoma, leiomyosarcoma or undifferentiated – 3 patients). The nonurothelial carcinoma group (9%) represents the main subject of our study. The mean age of the study group was 58.7 years (3 females and 33 males). From the total of 35patients, 30 patients had undergone radical cystectomy, 4 patients partial cystectomy en bloc with the urachus and belly and 1 patient diagnosed with neuroendocrine carcinoma beneficiated of chemotherapy. In the radical cystectomy cohort, the urinary diversions consisted of 8 ureterosigmoidostomies, 14 cutaneous ureterostomies, 2 Bricker ileal conduits, 2 neobladders and 1 Indiana pouch. Moreover, the tumoral staging included 1 patient with pT1, 11 patients with pT2, 18 patients with pT3 and 6 patients with pT4. Lymphnodes involvement was present in 4 patients with N1, 5 patients with N2, 5 patients with N3, 17 cases being identified with N0 and 4 cases with Nx. When the tumoral grading was assessed 1 patient presented with G1, 18 patients with G2, 15 patients with G3 and 1 patient with G4.

La prezentare 74% dintre pacienfli au avut stadiu local avansat, înregistrându-se douæ decese postoperator. În 41% din cazuri s-au decelat ganglioni pozitivi (2 cazuri cu adenopatie extraregionalæ). In ceea ce priveøte supraviefluirea globalæ, 11 pacienfli (30,5%) sunt în viaflæ cu o medie de urmærire de 3 ani (având între 4 øi 44 de luni). Supraviefluirea medie pe tipuri histopatologice este de 27,5 luni pentru carcinomul scuamos (2 pacienfli), 70 de luni pentru adenocarcinom (4 pacienfli), 15 luni pentru carcinomul micropapilar (3 pacienfli) øi 4 luni pentru carcinomul neuroendocrin. Cei 20 pacienfli care au decedat au înregistrat o medie de supraviefluire de 10,5 luni (8,8 luni pentru 10 pacienfli cu carcinom scuamos, 20 de luni pentru 3 pacienfli cu adenocarcinom øi 12,25 de luni pentru 4 pacienfli cu carcinom micropapilar). Concluzii. Tumorile nonuroteliale sunt forme de cancer vezical extrem de agresive cu stadiile de prezentare avansate (stadiul local avansat a fost prezent la 75% dintre bolnavi, ganglionii pozitivi în 41% de cazuri). Tratamentul electiv este cistectomia radicalæ ce trebuie însoflitæ de o limfodisecflie cât mai extinsæ øi minuflioasæ. Tratamentele adjuvante sunt puflin eficiente. nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 Results. Locally advanced disease was found in 74% of the patients at time of diagnosis with 2 postoperative deaths. Adenopathy was present in 41% of the cases which included 2 cases of extra-regional adenopathy. Overall survival was 3 years , between 4 and 44 months, 11 patients (30.5%) currently being alive. The median survival time was 27.5 months for SCC (2 cases), 70 months for ADK (4 cases), 15 months for micropapillary (3 patients) and 4 months for neuroendocrine carcinoma. A median survival time of 10.5 months was recorded in all 20 deceased patients (8.8 months – SCC (10), 20 months – ADK (3), 12.25 months – micropapillary (4)). Conclusions. Nonurothelial bladder carcinoma are rare and extremely aggressive tumors, with advanced disease at the moment of diagnosis (75% of the cases, 41% positive lymphnodes). Standard treatment approach for such cases is radical cystectomy with elaborate extensive lymphadenectomy. Adjuvant treatments have a lower response rate.

Nonurothelial bladder carcinoma are rare and extremely aggressive tumors, with advanced disease at the moment of diagnosis (75% of the cases, 41% positive lymph nodes). Needed to be underlined is the fact that neuroendocrine tumors, followed by sarcomas were the most aggressive neoplasia. Also, squamous cell carcinoma and micropapillary carcinoma come to complete the scale of aggressiveness. Combination of tumor variants such as urothelial carcinoma+squamous cell carcinoma+adenocarcinoma or urothelial carcinoma+adenocarcinoma tend to be more aggressive than all other tumors. nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 Revista Românæ de Urologie 79 Tumori vezicale PM.6.13.

Death event occurred at 6 months after surgery for carcinosarcoma and at 24 months for micropapillary carcinoma by local recurrence. Discussions. Advanced disease (65% in urothelial carcinoma group) and tumor grading (78% G3 and G4) must be taken into consideration when adjuvant treatment is recommended. Moreover, 7 patients had R2 disease. Urothelial carcinoma with divergent differentiation group reported 75% cases (9 cases) of locally advanced disease, 91% having G3 tumor grading, while the SCC groupreported 60% cases (3 patients) of locally advanced disease. Conclusions. SCC proofs to be the most aggressive disease (median survival period – 17.2 months), adjuvant treatment offering life prolonging (12.7 months median survival period for patients without chemotherapy). Going further, divergent differentiation offered a better prognosis (33 months median survival period), while urothelial carcinoma had the longest survival period (37 months median survival period).

Adenocarcinomul de uracæ reprezintæ aproximativ 1% din totalul neoplasmelor vezicale, cu dezvoltare extravezicalæ, având ca punct de plecare restul embrionar al uracæi. Tradiflional, tratamentul constæ în cistectomie parflialæ cu rezecflia în bloc a ligamentului uracal, domului vezical øi ombilicului. Nepracticarea omfalectomiei a fost asociatæ cu un control inadecvat al bolii øi un risc mai crescut al recurenflei locale. Introduction. Urachal carcinoma represents approximately 1% of all bladder tumors, frequently involving the midline or dome of the bladder due to direct extension from the urachal ligament. Traditionally, a partial cystectomy with en-bloc resection of the urachal ligament with the bladder dome and umbilicus is recommended to appropriately control the disease. Leaving the umbilicus in place provides inadequate control and has been associated with a higher risk of relapse. Scop. Obiectivul acestui studiu este de a evalua rezultatele oncologice a pacienflilor cu adenocarcinom de uracæ la care s-a practicat cistectomie parflialæ cu rezecflia în bloc a ligamentului uracal cu prezervarea ombilicului. Aim. The objective of this study is to evaluate the oncological outcomes of patients with urachal carcinoma, in which cystectomy with en-bloc resection of the urachal ligament with the bladder dome, leaving the umbilicus in place, has been performed. Material øi metodæ. Am realizat un studiu retrospectiv al cazurilor de adenocarcinom uracal tratate în clinica noastræ în perioada 2002-2012. Criteriile de includere au fost: localizarea tumorii pe CT/IRM în domul vezical, cu excluderea unei neoplazii primare extravezicale, absenfla cistitei glandulare sau chistice øi prezenfla unei mase palpabile suprapubiene øi/sau la tuøeul bimanual. Am înregistrat 13 cazuri ce întrunesc aceste criterii. În toate cazurile s-a practicat cistectomie parflialæ cu rezecflia ligamentului uracal øi a domului vezical, cu prezervarea ombilicului øi limfodisecflie iliobturatorie standard. Rezultatele oncologice au fost evaluate folosind curbe Kaplan-Meyer. Rezultate. Mediana de vârstæ a pacienflilor a fost de 55 de ani.

We conducted a retrospective analysis of all urachal cases treated in our Department between 2002-2012. Inclusion criterias were: location in the bladder dome on CT/MRI with exclusion of a primary neoplasia outside the bladder, absence of cystitis glandularis or cystitis cystica, and the presence of a palpable suprapubic mass. We recorded 13 patients matching these criteria. A partial cystectomy with en-bloc resection of the urachal ligament with the bladder dome with preservation of the ombilicus was performed in all cases with standard pelvic LND. We evaluated the oncologic outcomes using KapplanMeier curves. Results. Median age was 55.0 years. The median follow-up period was 3.5 years and the survival rate at 5 years was 77.5%. 38% (5 patients) were lost to follow-up, with no nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 Tumori vezicale Nu au fost înregistrate recurenfle la nivel ombilical. 53.8% (7 pacienfli) au fost asimptomatici, fiind trimiøi în Centrul nostru pentru evaluarea unei mase hipogastrice descoperite incidental la CT/IRM.

No umbilical recurrences were recorded. 53.8% (7 patients) were asymptomatic, being referred to our center for evaluation of a sub-ombilical mass discovered at CT/MRI. The most common complaints were hematuria and storage symptoms. 23% (3 patients) had metastatic disease at presentation. Covariates associated with long-term survival were negative surgical margins (p = 0.004) and absence of nodal involvement (p=0.01). 30% (4 patients) received adjuvant chemotherapy with 5fluorouracil and cisplatin with stable disease after 2 years. Conclusions. Long-term survival following radical resection is high. The resection of the umbilicus is unnecessary in most cases, it can be reserved for locally advanced disease.

Evaluarea rezultatelor uretrectomiei asociate cistectomiei radicale în raport cu pacienflii cu cistectomie radicalæ la care uretrectomia s-a efectuat din diverse motive în timp operator secundar. Pacienfli øi metodæ. Pe o perioadæ de 23 de ani (1990-2013) au fost luafli în evidenflæ 29 de pacienfli cu uretrectomie: 21 de pacienfli (Grup A) au beneficiat în aceeaøi øedinflæ operatorie de cistectomie radicalæ øi uretrectomie, în timp ce 8 pacienfli (Grup B) au beneficiat de uretrectomie (grup B1 – 4 pacienfli), respectiv emasculaflie (grup B2 – 4 pacienfli) la distanflæ de intervenflia chirurgicalæ primaræ pentru recurenflæ uretralæ cu sau færæ invazie de corpi cavernoøi. Indicaflia de uretrectomie asociatæ cistectomiei a fost pusæ de prezenfla proliferærii tumorale la nivelul uretrei, tumoræ vezicalæ infiltrativæ la nivelul colului vezical, tumoræ vezicalæ infiltrând prostata sau uretra prostaticæ, Cis difuz, tumoræ vezicalæ voluminoasæ musculoinvazivæ papilaræ. În grupul B uretrectomia a fost efectuatæ atunci când s-a decelat tumoræ uretralæ apærutæ la distanflæ de cistectomie (1 caz cu margine uretralæ pozitivæ) øi în 4 cazuri prin prezenfla de metastaze în corpii cavernoøi. Rezultate. În grupul A au fost 18 pacienfli cu vârsta medianæ de 62 de ani, urmærifli pe o perioadæ medie de 37 luni (între 6 øi 93 luni). În grupul A nu s-au înregistrat recidive locale de-a lungul urmæririi. Metastaze la distanflæ au fost diagnosticate în 3 cazuri. Dintre aceøtia, 9 pacienfli au decedat (6 decese non-oncologice øi 3 decese oncologice), perioada medie de urmærire fiind de 32 luni (între 6 øi 68 luni). In prezent 9 pacienfli sunt în viaflæ, cu o perioadæ medie de urmærire de 42 luni (între 7 øi 90 luni).

To assess the outcome of urethrectomy associated with radical cystectomy versus urethrectomy alone after radical cystectomy. Patients and Methods. The study included 26 patients with urethrectomy treated between 1990-2013: in 18 cases (Group A) the urethrectomy was performed in the same operative session, while for 8 patients (Group B) urethrectomy (group B1) or emasculation (group B2) was performed after cystectomy, during a secondary intervention for urethral recurrence with or without corpora cavernosa invasion. Results. Group A consisted of 18 patients with a median age of 62 years and an average follow-up of 37 months (ranging from 6 to 93 months). In group A, no local recurrences were reported over the whole follow-up period. Three patients developed distant metastases. From the total of 18 patients, 9 patients died (6 non-oncological deaths and 3 oncological deaths) with an average follow-up of 32 months (between 668 months), while 9 patients are still alive at median followup of 42 months (between 7-90 months). In group B, the median age was 65 years, with 4 patients undergoing secondary urethrectomy (B1) - 3 deaths reported (urethrectomy-cystectomy median follow-up of 22 months, between 1-48 months/urethrectomy-death event median follow-up of 19 month, between 8- 36 months). In group B2 there were 4 patients with emasculation (B2) of whom 3 died (urethrectomy-emasculation median follow-up was 7,25 months, between 3-11 months/emasculation-death event median follow-up was 15 months, between 9-24 months). Discussions. After radical cystectomy, many recurrences occur at the site of the remaining urethra, therefore careful follow-up must be conducted. Urethral recurrence is responsible for a morbidity and mortality similar to the nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 Tumori vezicale urmærire uretrectomie-deces - 19 luni, între 8 øi 36 luni) øi grupul B2 - 4 pacienfli cu emasculaflie, dintre care 3 pacienfli au decedat (perioada medie de urmærire cistectomieemasculaflie - 7,25 luni, între 3 øi 11 luni/perioada medie de urmærire emasculaflie-deces - 15 luni, între 9 øi 24 luni). Discuflii. Dupæ cistectomia radicalæ, uretra restantæ trebuie luatæ în consideraflie în evaluarea postoperatorie, deoarece constituie un sediu important de recurenflæ tumoralæ, cu o morbiditate øi mortalitate similaræ cu cea a bontului ureteral restant dupæ nefrectomie subtotalæ pentru tumorile de uroteliu înalt. remaining uretheral stump after subtotal nephrectomy for upper urinary tract tumors. Conclusions. We underline the fact simultaneous radical cystectomy and urethral extirpation proofs its utility when performed in high-risk patients for urethral recurrence after radical cystectomy. Although the association of urethral excision extends the primary intervention by 25-30 minutes, it is technically easier to perform with a reduced blood loss, and a better oncological outcome.

The study group was composed of 23 patients hospitalized in our clinic, diagnosed with ≥T2 bladder tumor; on 18 of these patients total cystectomy was performed with CUS, while on 5 of them only unilateral urinary diversion was performed, cystectomy being non-feasible. The patients with radical cystectomy with other type of urinary derivation were not included in this study. Results: The total cystectomy was performed on 9 patients with right cutaneous ureterostomy (50%), on 2 patients with left cutaneous ureterostomy and on 7 patients with right “double-barrel” ureterostomy. On 7 of the patients with single cutaneous ureterostomy (and with cystectomy) the contralateral kidney was removed, one of the patients had congenital solitary kidney on right side and 3 patients were hospitalized with solitary kidney after surgery (previously nephrectomized). The mean age of the patients in the study group was 62,82±8,33 years, 21 of them were male patients (91,3%).

Introduction and Objectives. TURB remains the standard treatment in non muscle invasive bladder tumours but sometimes the transurethral access is difficult or impossible because of long penile urethral strictures. In this paper we are trying to draw attention on perineal urethrostomy as an easy and fast access for TURB in patients with associated long penile urethral strictures. Materiale øi metode. Între anii 2008 øi 2013 am efectuat 46 de uretrostomii perineale pentru diverse patologii uretrale: carcinom penian sau uretral, stricturi uretrale întinse recurente cu periuretritæ sau lichen scleros asociat. În 4 cazuri uretrostomia perineala a fost efectuatæ pentru a permite realizarea TURV la pacienfli cu tumoræ vezicalæ superficialæ øi stricturæ întinsæ de uretræ penianæ imposibil de cateterizat. Cu pacientul asezat în poziflie de litotomie se efectueazæ o incizie verticala la nivelul tegumentului perineal øi al flesutului adipos subcutanat. Muøchiul bulbocavernos este disecat la nivelul liniei mediane. Uretra bulbaræ este expusæ între douæ fire de sprijin øi se realizeazæ o incizie verticalæ de 2-3 cm la nivelul corpului spongios. La maturarea uretrostomiei, în suturæ se încorporeazæ 3 straturi: mucoasæ uretralæ, adventicea corpului spongios øi tegumentul. Corpul spongios nu este înglobat în suturæ, pentru a-i prezerva fluxul sangvin. Dupæ maturarea uretrostomiei perineale, se efectueazæ TURV, dupæ procedeul standard, folosindu-se un rezectoscop 26 Fr. Materials and methods. Between 2008 and 2013 we performed 46 perineal urethrostomies for different urethral pathologies: penile or urethral carcinoma, recurrent long anterior urethral strictures associated with adverse conditions like periurethritis or lichen sclerosus. In 4 ocasions perineal urethrostomy was performed for TURB access in cases with bladder tumors associated with long penile urethral strictures impossible to be catheterized. With the patient in a lithotomy position, a vertical perineal incision of the skin and subcutaneous tissue is made. The bulbocavernous muscle is splitted on midline. The bulbar urethra is exposed and a 2-3 cm vertical incision of the spongiosum is performed between stay sutures. When maturating the urethrostomy, 3 layers are incorporated in the suture: the urethral mucosa, the adventitia of the spongiosum and the skin. The body of the spongiosum is not taken in the sutures in order to preserve the lateral blood flow. After the maturation of the perineal urethrostomy a TURB is performed in a standard manner with a 26 Fr resectoscope. Rezultate. Cu ajutorul uretrostomiei perineale s-a obflinut un acces bun pentru TURV în toate cele 4 cazuri. Timpul operator a fost de 20 de minute.

Concluzii. Uretrostomia perinealæ este o metodæ rapidæ øi siguræ de acces la pacienflii cu tumori vezicale superficiale care prezintæ asociatæ o stricturæ uretralæ penianæ întinsæ, øi ar trebui sæ fie prezentæ în arsenalul oricærui urolog.

Reconstrucflia uretralæ se poate efectua într-un timp secundar, dupæ realizarea controlulului oncologic al tumorii vezicale. Conclusions. Perineal urethrostomy is a fast and safe access for TURB in patients with non muscle invasive bladder tumors associated long penile urethral strictures and it should be present in the armamentarium of any urologist. Through this approach an open surgery for bladder tumors or a cystostomy with the consequent risk of tumor spread are avoided. A second intervention for urethral reconstruction can be considered after the oncological control of the bladder tumors. nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 Revista Românæ de Urologie 89 Oncologie, Cancerul renal PM.7.1.

Preoperator nu existæ elemente clinice sau imagistice de diagnostic diferenflial cu celelalte tumori maligne renale, anatomia patologicæ având rolul cardinal.Tumora este bine circumscrisæ, maronie, cu cicatrice centralæ, iar microscopic se caracterizeazæ prin prezenfla eozinofilelor rotunde øi poligonale øi a mitocondriilor. Diagnosticul, clasificarea, tratamentul øi urmærirea oncocitomului renal reprezintæ încæ un subiect controversat. Prezentæm experienfla centrului nostru. Objective. First 13 cases reported as distinct clinicopathologic entity – 1976 – Klein and Valensi, oncocytoma represents 3% 7% of solid renal mass. Tumors are light brown, homogenous well circumscribed with central scar but they are not truly encapsulated. Microscopy – round or polygonal eosinophilic cells in nested on organoid pattern with numerous large mitochondria. Positive and differential diagnostic, clasification, management and follow-up still represent a subject of controversy. The aim of the study was to present our experience in managing oncocytoma and to analize the cases with malignant evolution. Material øi metodæ. Din iunie 1997 pânæ în ianuarie 2013, 82 pacienfli cu oncocitom renal au fost operafli în centrul noastru. 55 bærbafli øi 27 femei cu vârste cuprinse între 45 øi 74 ani (vârsta medie = 62 ani) au fost incluøi în studiul nostru. Clinica a fost minoræ, dureri lombare, hematurie, febræ, dureri abdominale, iar 44 cazuri au fost descoperite incidental. Protocolul de investigaflii a inclus: examenul clinic, UIV, ecografia abdominalæ, CT øi în cazuri selecflioante RMN øi angiografia renalæ. Preoperator, diagnosticul de oncocitom a fost considerat în 23 cazuri, examenul histopatologic fiind cardinal. Matherial and method. Beetwen June 1997 and January 2013 in our department were operated 82 patients with renal oncocytoma, 55 males and 27 females with an average of 62 years old. 39 cases were incidentaloma, clinical findings were minor, lumbar pain, hematuria, fever. Clinical examination, IVP, abdominal ultrasound with Doppler exam, CT and MRI were performed at admission. Prior to surgery, imaging the lesion, renal oncocytoma was considered in 23 cases. Rezultate. În Centrul Fundeni, atitudinea terapeuticæ în RCC este nefrectomia radicalæ. Deoarece preoperator criteriile clinice øi imagistice pentru diagnosticul oncocitomului sunt foarte neclare, consideræm nefrectomia radicalæ obligatorie. 7 cazurile s-au pretat la chirurgie conservatoare, iar puncflia biopticæ TC ghidatæ øi aspiraflia biopticæ cu ac fin nu s-au practicat. Tumorile au fost clasificate astfel: T1a - 4 cazuri, T1b - 3 cazuri,T2 – 37 cazuri, T3a – 28 cazuri, T4 – 10 cazuri. Invazia ganglionaræ limfaticæ øi metastazele în momentul operafliei nu au fost observate. Limfodisecflia loco-regionalæ a fost practicatæ în cazurile de nefrectomie. Examenul histopatologic a indicat oncocitom în toate cazurile. 60 cazuri 90 Renal oncocytoma – possible to be malignant? Revista Românæ de Urologie Results. In our department, atitude in RCC is radical nephrectomy and in selected cases nephro-sparing surgery. This procedure was considered in all cases and nephronsparing surgery were performed, as long as preoperative criteria for oncocytoma remains unclear. Fine needle aspiration under CT control was not performed. Clasification for tumors was as followes: T1a-4cases, T1b-3cases,T237cases, T3a-28cases and T4-10cases. We did not find lymphnodes invasion or distant metastasis and standard lymphadenectomy was performed in all cases. Pathological examinatin indicated renal oncocytoma in all cases. Lowgrade anaplastic oncocytoma was proved in 60 cases, 6 cases proved a combination of renal oncocytoma and angiomiolipoma and in 11 cases high-grade anaplastic renal nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 Concluzii. În Centrul Fundeni, oncocitomul renal respectæ incidenfla internaflionalæ. Atitudinea noastræ a fost nefrectomia radicalæ øi în unele cazuri nephro-sparing surgery. Evoluflia postoperatorie a fost aceeaøi pentru toate tumorile depistate indiferent de mærime, tipul de oncocitom øi invazie. Cazurile neclare histologic, unde carcinomul cromofob a fost implicat au evoluat spre metastaze, care au fost tratate specific, cu rezultate bune. Confirmarea diagnosticului este histologicæ.

Conclusions. In our center, renal oncocytoma respects the international incidence among renal tumors. Our attitude was radical nephrectomy or nephro-sparing surgery - in all cases, considering that no preoperative investigation could certify the diagnosis. Evolution after surgery was good for all tumors despite the size, type or invasion. The confirmation of diagnostic was pathological. Long term surviving rate after surgery was 100%. Three cases developed metastatic disease and specific treatment was performed. Revista Românæ de Urologie 91 Oncologie, Cancerul renal 92 PM.7.2.

Pentru excizia tumorilor benigne suprarenaliene, cele mai bune opfliuni sunt abordurile laparoscopice sau retroperitoneoscopice. Scopul acestei lucræri este de a evalua rezultatele experienflei noastre inifliale cu suprarenalectomia retroperitoneoscopicæ efectuatæ în decubit ventral. Materiale øi metode. Între 2005 øi 2013, 54 de tumori suprarenaliene benigne au fost operate endoscopic în clinica noastræ. 18 dintre ele au fost abordate laparoscopic transperitoneal, iar 36 au fost suprarenalectomii retroperitoneoscopice. La 32 dintre pacienfli abordul a fost în decubit lateral, în timp ce la ultimele 4 cazuri am preferat decubitul ventral (3 au fost tumori de suprarenalæ dreaptæ øi 1 stangæ). Dupæ anestezia generalæ în decubit dorsal, pacientul este rotat în decubit ventral. Sunt inserate cele 3 trocare (cel din mijloc de 12 mm la vârful coastei a XII-a, cel median de 10 mm lângæ muøchiul para-spinal, iar cel lateral de 5 mm la vârful coastei a XI-a). Retroperitoneul este inflat cu CO2 la o presiune de 14-20 mmHg.

Sinescu Center of Uronephrology and Kidney Transplantation, Fundeni Clinical Institute, Bucharest Introduction and objectives. Laparoscopic or retroperitoneoscopic approaches are the options of choice for removing benign adrenal tumor masses. The aim of this paper is to assess the results of our initial experience with retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy in a prone position. Materials and methods. Between 2005 and 2013 there were 54 cases of benign adrenal tumor masses that received endoscopic treatment in our center. 18 of them underwent a laparoscopic and 36 a retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy. For 32 of these patients the surgery was performed in a flank position and for the other 4 in a prone position (3 on the right and 1 on the left). After the general anesthesia in the supine position, the patients were flipped in a prone position. 3 th trocars were inserted (middle 12 mm at the tip of the 12 rib, median 10 mm next to the para-spinal muscle, lateral 5 mm th close to the tip of the 11 rib). The retroperitoneum was inflated with CO2 at 14-20 mmHg. Firstly the upper pole of the kidney was dissected, then the adrenal gland was separated from the kidney and the vena cava (or aorta) with a harmonic scalpel. The dissection was finalized, and the organ was removed in an endocatch bag. Rezultate. Nu au fost înregistrate complicaflii locale sau la distanflæ, pierderi semnificative de sânge sau alte probleme cardiovasculare. Timpul mediu operator a fost de 75 de minute. Dimensiunea medie a tumorilor a fost de 4,3 cm. Examenul histopatologic a evidenfliat adenoame corticale nesecretante în toate cele 4 cazuri. Results. No immediate or late complications were encountered, with no significant blood loss and no cardiovascular problems. Mean operation time was of 75 minutes. Mean tumor size was 4.3 cm. Histology revealed nonsecretory cortical adenomas in all 4 cases. Concluzii. Suprarenalectomia retroperitoneoscopicæ în decubit ventral reprezintæ cel mai bun abord pentru tumorile benigne de suprarenalæ pentru cæ asiguræ cel mai uøor acces la glanda suprarenalæ, evitând alte organe sau eventualele aderenfle intraabdominale. Iar pentru cæ sunt suficiente 3 trocare, este øi cea mai facilæ øi rapidæ proceduræ. Totodatæ permite presiuni de inflaflie mai mari, færæ a afecta întoarcerea venoasæ øi poate fi practicatæ în siguranflæ øi la pacienflii obezi. Conclusions. Retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy in a prone position is the best approach for benign adrenal tumors because it provides the easiest access to the adrenal gland, avoiding intraabdominal adhesions and other organs. Requiring only 3 trocars it also is the simplest and fastest method. And it allows higher inflation pressures without the risk of a decrease in venous return, and can be safely performed, even in obese patients. Revista Românæ de Urologie nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 O.

Formafliuni tumorale retroperitoneale – experienfla Clinicii de Urologie Constanfla Results and Conclusions. Accurate marker of therapeutic success, survival analysis in patients with retroperitoneal tumors primitive allows the creation of a global picture of the evolution of these tumors, but also meaningful comparison with other studies. Casuistry perioperative deaths recorded in this study included 6 patients, 8.73% of cases. Primitive retroperitoneal tumors is nonspecific symptoms, clinical aspects such as abdominal pain, palpation of the retroperitoneal tumor, weight loss, have been identified as relevant clinical data in the diagnosis of these tumors increased. Each type of primitive retroperitoneal tumor the intraoperative features, from its size and to delimit its borders with adjacent structures. Not infrequently, intraoperative appearance may differ from image major preoperative diagnosis of retroperitoneal tumors. Exploring intraoperative retroperitoneal tumor is very important to define its primitive character, and to adopt tactics and techniques most appropriate surgical case. Surgery should always seek the complete removal of retroperitoneal tumor respective tumor biopsy is the minimum required to achieve the final diagnostic and therapeutic adjuvant.

Aproximativ 20% sunt diagnosticate în prima decadæ de vârstæ, 25% între 10 øi 30 ani, 30% între 30 øi 50 ani øi 25% dupæ aceastæ vârstæ. Prezentæm cazul unui pacient în vârstæ de 37 ani spitalizat în Secflia de Urologie a Spitalului Clinic “Prof. Dr. Th. Burghele” pentru scæderea libidoului øi a fertilitæflii. Examenul ecografic a evidenfliat o formafliune tumoralæ. S-a decis orhiectomia. Examenul ecografic a evidenfliat o formafliune de aspect tumoral, bine delimitatæ, cu diametre de 2.7/2 cm, lobulatæ prin septe fibroase, solidæ, de culoare gælbuie, localizatæ aproape de tunica albuginee. Material øi metode: Fragmente tumorale numeroase au fost fixate în formaldehidæ 10%, incluse în parafinæ, secflionate øi colorate standard cu HE øi VG. Au fost apoi examinate la microscop optic (Nicon Eclipse 600). S-au efectuat teste imunohistochimice pe secfliuni cu o grosime de 3 microni utilizând urmætorii anticorpi: Inhibina alpha (Cell Marque), Clona R1 øi CONFIRMTM anti-ki-67 Rabbit Monoclonal Primary Antibody (Ventana), clona 30-9. Rezultate: Examenul microscopic a evidenfliat o proliferare tumoralæ alcætuitæ din celule mari poligonale, cu citoplasmæ abundentæ, eozinofilæ, uøor granular øi nuclei rotunzi, regulafli, unii cu nucleoli bine vizibili.

Evaluarea imunohistochimicæ a arætat o coloraflie difuz pozitivæ pentru Inhibina alpha în celulele tumorale, Ki 67 pozitiv în circa 5% din celulele tumorale. Concluzie: S-a stabilit diagnosticul de tumoræ cu celule Leydig care trebuie diferenfliatæ de hiperplazia cu celule Leydig, malokoplakia, tumorile cu celule Sertoli, limfoamele maligne øi carcinomul prostatic slab diferenfliat metastatic. 94 Revista Românæ de Urologie 1 1 Amelia Petrescu , Gabriela Berdan , F. Bengus , 1 2 1 D. Damian , Mihaela Mihai , V. Jinga 1 “Prof. Dr.Th.Burghele“ Hospital, Bucharest, Romania 2 “Synevo”, Histopathology Department, Bucharest, Romania Introduction: Leydig cells tumors are sex cord-stromal tumors and account for about 2% of testicular neoplasm. Approximately 20% are detected in the first decade of life, 25% between 10 and 30 years and 25% beyond that age. We present the case of a 37 years old man hospitalized in the Department of Urology from the “Prof. Dr.Th.Burghele“ Hospital for a decrease in libido and fertility. Ultrasonography showed a tumoral mass and orchiectomy was performed. Macroscopically there was a tumoral mass, sharply circumscribed, sized 2,7/ 2 cm in diameter, lobulated by a fibrous septa, solid and yellow, localized near the tunica albuginea. Material and methods: Many tissue samples were fixed in 10% formaldehyde, paraffin embedded, sectioned and standard HE and VG stained then examined by light microscopy (Nikon Eclipse 6). Immunohistochemistry was performed on 3 ìm thick sections with following antibodies: Inhibin alpha (Cell Marqu), R1 clone, CONFIRMTM anti–Ki 67 Rabbit Monoclonal Primary Antibody (Ventana), 30-9 clone. Results: The histopathological features revealed a tumor proliferation composed by large and polygonal cells with abundant, slightly granular, eosinophilic cytoplasm and regular round nuclei, some with visible nucleoli. Prominent cytoplasmic vacuoles create a microcystic pattern. Clusters of cells are separated by a hialinized and edematous stroma. The mitotic rate is low, <5 of 10 HPF, a large number of sinusoidal – endocrine vessels. Necrosis and limphovascular invasion are absent. Immunohistochemical stains showed a diffuse positive staining in tumoral cells, Ki 67 positive staining in about 5% of tumoral cells. Conclusions: A diagnosis of Leydig cells tumor was established and must be differentiated from Leydig cells hyperplasia, malakoplakia, Sertoli cells tumors, malignant lymphomas, metastatic prostate carcinoma. nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 1 2 2 A.

Tehnicile ultrasonografice (US) moderne care folosesc agenfli de contrast (AC) pot fi utilizate pentru evaluarea angioperfuzionalæ a tumorilor renale. Cunoscutæ fiind venofilia acestor tumori, metoda poate aduce beneficii privind stabilirea extensiei venoase. Prezentul studiu are ca scop evaluarea rolului US, a ultrasonografiei cu agent de contrast (CEUS) øi a parametrilor curbelor timp intensitate (TIC) în cancerul cu celule renale. Introduction. Modern utlrasonographic (US) techniques which use second generation contrast agents (CA) can be used to examine the perfusion patterns of renal tumors. Due to the tumor’s venous extension capability, the method can be beneficial in establising venous involvement. The present study was done to assess the role US, contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and Time Intensity Curve (TIC) parameters in the evaluation of renal cell carcinoma. Material øi Metodæ. Studiul s-a realizat între noiembrie 2011 – ianuarie 2013, implicând 29 de pacienfli cu formafliuni tumorale renale. Dintre aceøtia, trei pacienfli prezentau contraindicaflii pentru alte examinæri radio-imagistice cu AC.

From November 2011 to January 2013 29 patients with renal masses were prospectivelly enrolled in the study. Three patients had restrictions for other radiological imaging procedures that employ CA. Each patient underwent examination with B mode US, Color Doppler and CEUS prior to surgery. Time dependent contrast enhancement was also measured, from Regions of Interest selected in the entire tumor, the most enhancing and the most unenhancing parts of the tumor and in the normal parenchyma. Parameters obtained from the TIC were: time to contrast enhancement peak (TTP), rise time (RS), mean transit nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 Revista Românæ de Urologie Oncologie, Cancerul renal PM.7.5.

Cazurile au fost examinate corelativ cu Computer Tomografia. Tofli pacienflii au fost operafli. S-a efectuat analiza anatomopatologicæ a tuturor tumorilor sub aspectul stadiului, caracteristicilor histologice. Rezultate. Analiza pieselor de rezecflie a identificat în toate cazurile cancer cu celule renale. S-au identificat urmætoarele tipuri tumorale: cancer cu celule clare (n=24), cu celule cromofobe (n=3), cu celule mixte clare øi cromofobe (n=1) øi papilar (n=1). Evaluarea US a venei renale nu a fost posibilæ în 6 cazuri. Acurateflea ultrasonografiei în identificarea extensiei tumorale în vena renalæ a fost de 90%, iar în vena cavæ inferioaræ de 100%. Examinarea CEUS flintitæ asupra venei renale, în douæ cazuri cu suspiciune de trombozæ a contribuit la identificarea naturii tumorale a trombului. Cu excepflia a douæ cazuri formafliunile au prezentat captare inomogenæ a AC, prin prezenfla de zone hipocaptante localizate central, periferi sau mixt. În general formafliunile au prezentat o captare mai slabæ decât parenchimul normal (n=20). S-a constatat cæ parametrul TTP al tumorilor a fost mai prelungit comparativ cu prenchimul renal (24.74s vs 21,1s; p<0.05). RT a fost de asemenea prelungit în cazul tumorilor (19.1vs 15.1; p< 0.05). Prin gruparea formafliunilor în stadiile pT1-pT2 øi pT>2, s-a constatat cæ atât TTP cât øi RT au fost diferifli între grupuri (25.6s vs 24.9s; p<0.05 øi 20.5s vs 18.1s; p<0.05). Concluzii. CEUS împreunæ cu cuantificarea TIC prezintæ un potenflial important în caracterizarea, diagnosticul øi stadializarea cancerului cu celule renale. Metoda CEUS este neiradiantæ, repetabilæ, øi poate fi consideratæ o alternativæ în cazul pacienflilor cu contraindicaflii pentru examinarea cu contrast prin CT sau rezonanflæ magneticæ. 96 Revista Românæ de Urologie time (mTT). The cases were examined in correlation with the Computed Tomography. All the patients underwent surgery and pathological assessment of tumor stage and histology was made. Results. Pathological results from all 29 patients revealed renal cell tumors divided into 24 with clear cells, 3 chromophobe, one mixed - clear cell and chromophobe and one papillary. US examination of the renal vein was not achievable in 6 cases. Accuracy of US in identifying tumoral venous extension to the renal vein and inferior vena cava were 90% and 100% respectively. CEUS focused on the renal vein in 2 patients with suspected venous extension contributed to the correct characterisation of the thrombus. Except two cases which presented homogenous enhancement, all the masses had unenhancing areas, either central, marginal or mixed. In general tumors had a maximum enhancement less than the normal parenchyma, (n=20). The TTp of cancer was longer than normal parenchyma (24.74vs 21,11; p<0.05). RT of cancer was also longer than in the normal parenchyma (19.1vs 15.1; p< 0.05). When tumors were analysed grouped in pT1-pT2 and pT>2, the TTP of tumors and RT were different between the two groups (25.6vs 24.9; p<0.05 and 20.5 vs 18.1; p<0.05). Conclusions. CEUS using objective quantification through TIC is a promising tool in the diagnosis and staging of renal cancer. The method does not employ radiation, is repeatable and can be considered an alternative in the case of patients that cannot be subjected to contrast agent examination with CT or MRI. nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 1 1 Renal clear cells carcinoma in pregnancy - case report 1 1 Amelia Petrescu , Gabriela Berdan , 1 2 1 I.

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common renal tumor reported in pregnancy accounting for about half of all primary renal tumors during pregnancy. Over the 80 cases has been reported in English Language medical literature. Our patient was a 29 year-old-pregnant women who were accidentally find to have a renal mass during routine antenatal ultrasonography and increase of blood pressure values. All blood test were unremarkable. The patient underwent left radical nephrectomy two months after she delivered a normal term baby.

Concluzii: În timp ce creøterea numærului de cazuri de carcinoame renale cu celule clare ar putea fi interpretatæ ca risc întâmplætor, existæ dovezi cæ ar exista un risc de dezvoltare a unor tumori (inclusiv carcinoame renale cu celule clare) în timpul sarcinii posibil legat de modificærile hormonale (creøterea valorilor de estrogeni øi beta HCG). Recomandarea intervenfliei chirurgicale în primul øi al treilea trimestru de sarcinæ este deja universal acceptatæ, dar în trimestrul al doilea este controversatæ. S-ar putea considera cæ întârzierea intervenfliei chirurgicale ar putea fi potenflial riscantæ pentru dezvoltarea metastazelor. 98 Revista Românæ de Urologie Conclusions: While the increasing numbers of case reports of RCC arising during pregnancy could represent a chance occurrence, there is some evidence that there may be an increased risk of the development of some neoplasms (including RCC), during pregnancy possibly related to hormonal changes (estrogen and beta HCG). The recommendation of surgery during the first and third trimester of pregnancy is universally accepted, but the recommendation of surgery during the second trimester is controversial. It should be considered that delaying surgery can potentially be harmful for the risk of metastasis. nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 1 1 1,2 Veronica Ghirca , A. Brad , D. Porav , 1 1,2 1,2 B. Uzun , A.

Rezultatele CT au fost comparate cu rezultatele examenului histopatologic (EHP). Materials and method. We performed a retrospective study over a period of 16 months (November 2011- March 2013) in which we included 52 patients. The inclusion criteria were the presence of the renal tumor revealed on preoperative CT, without distance metastases, without detected tumoral lymphadenopathy. The CT results were compared with the histopathological results. Rezultate: 32 dintre pacienfli au fost de sex masculin øi 20 de sex feminin. 27 dintre pacienfli au fost diagnosticafli cu tumoræ renalæ stangæ øi 25 cu tumoræ renalæ dreaptæ. Postoperator, EHP a evidenfliat stadiul tumoral pT1a în 10 cazuri, pT1b în 12 cazuri, pT2a în 7 cazuri, pT2b în 6 cazuri, pT3a în 10 cazuri, pT3b în 5 cazuri øi pT4 în 2 cazuri. În majoritatea cazurilor incluse în acest studiu, stadiile N determinate preoperator prin CT corespund cu diagnosticul postoperator evaluat prin rezultatul EHP. În 49 dintre cazuri, rezultatul EHP nu a evidenfliat metastaze ganglionare (pN0). Douæ dintre cazurile pT3 au prezentat ganglioni pozitivi (pN1 si pN2), øi un caz pT4 –pN1, nedecelabili prin CT efectuatæ preoperator. Results. 32 of the patients were male and 20 female. 27 of the patients were diagnosed with left renal tumor and 25 with renal tumor on the right side. Postoperative histopathological examination revealed pT1 stage in 10 patients, pT1b in 12 patients, pT2a in 7 patients, pT2b in 6 patients, pT3a in 10 patients, pT3b in 5 patients and pT4 in 2 patients. In majority of the cases included in this study, the N stages determined on preoperative CT correspond to the postoperative diagnostic evaluated on the histopathological examination. In 49 of the cases the histopathological examination did not revealed metastases in lymph nodes: pN0. Two of the cases, stage pT3 presented positive lymph nodes (pN1 and pN2) and one case in stage pT4-pN1 that were not detected on preoperative CT.

Introduction. Renal cell carcinomas (RCC) have a specific tendency of extension to the Inferior Vena Cava (IVC), a challenge in surgical planning. We aim to present a case of borderline T3b/T3c renal tumor that was treated using a modified surgical technique that avoided cardiopulmonary bypass and cardiac arrest. Prezentare de caz. Dorim sæ prezentæm cazul unei paciente de 58 ani care a fost diagnosticatæ cu o tumoræ renalæ dreaptæ de graniflæ T3b/T3c. S-a luat decizia de tratament chirurgical øi a fost formatæ o echipæ operatorie mixtæ, urologicæ øi cardiovascularæ. S-a folosit o incizie tip chevron modificatæ. Iniflial a fost mobilizat rinichiul drept øi artera renalæ ligaturatæ. Apoi, VCI a fost preparatæ iar colateralele ei lombare ligaturate. Ficatul a fost mobilizat spre stânga dupæ ce ligamentele (rotund, falciform, triunghiular øi coronar superior) au fost secflionate. Echipa cardiovascularæ a instalat un by-pass al VCI între atriul drept øi VCI infrarenalæ prin sternotomie. S-a efectuat manevra Pringle. Pentru a asigura decompresia hepaticæ, VCI infrarenalæ, vena renalæ contralateralæ, venele suprahepatice øi VCI intrapericardicæ au fost clampate în aceastæ ordine. A fost inifliat by-pass-ul.

We present the case of a 58 year-old female patient that was diagnosed with a borderline T3b/T3c renal cell carcinoma in her right kidney. The decision for surgical treatment was taken and a combined urologicalcardiovascular surgical team was formed. A modified Chevron incision was used. First, the right kidney was mobilized, the renal artery ligated. The IVC was exposed, its lumbar branches ligated. Then, the liver was mobilized to the left after the division of the teres, falciform, triangular and superior coronary ligaments. The cardiovascular team performed a caval by-pass between the right atrium and the infrarenal vena cava using sternotomy. Then, Pringle’s maneuver was undertaken. In order to ensure hepatic decompression, several minutes later, the infrarenal IVC, the contralateral renal vein, suprahepatic veins and intrapericardic IVC were occluded, in that order. By-pass was initiated. A circumferential cavotomy was performed and the nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 Oncologie, Cancerul renal pentru integritate) împreunæ cu rinichiul drept øi vena corespunzætoare. Apoi a fost clampatæ VCI inferior de suprahepatice øi a fost eliberatæ cea intrapericardicæ. Manevra Pringle øi clampajul suprahepaticelor au fost întrerupte, minimizând astfel ischemia øi congestia hepaticæ. Dupæ cavorafie, toate pensele au fost înlæturate øi by-pass-ul suprimat. Pacienta a prezentat o evoluflie favorabilæ, cu o recuperare bunæ øi a fost externatæ 12 zile mai târziu. Concluzii. Øuntarea de tip veno-venos a VCI este o metodæ foarte utilæ ce permite menflinerea presiunii venoase centrale (prin asigurarea returului sangvin) precum øi un control bun al trombului tumoral (prevenind emboliile pulmonare), færæ riscurile unei hemoragii excesive sau cele ale by-pass-ului cardiopulmonar. nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 tumor thrombus was removed (and checked for integrity) together with the right kidney and vein. Afterwards, the IVC was clamped right below the hepatic veins, releasing the intrapericardic clamp. The Pringle’s maneuver and suprahepatic veins were released, thus minimizing hepatic ischaemia and congestion. After cavoraphy, all clamps were removed and the venous by-pass suppressed. The patient had a favorable postoperative outcome, with good recovery, and was discharged 12 days later. Conclusion. Veno-venous IVC shunting is a highly useful technique that allows maintaining of central venous pressure (by ensuring blood return) together with good tumor thrombus control (excluding risk of pulmonary embolism), all of these without significant bleeding or the potential risks of cardiopulmonary by-pass.

Material and methods: We have done a retrospective analysis of the period 1997-2012, time interval during which we have performed 816 surgical interventions for renal tumors that were confirmed later as renal carcinoma, at the pathology report. We have evaluated the type of surgery, the indication category for doing nephron-sparing surgery (absolute or elective), the TNM staging, age and gender of patients, the pathology exam results, along particular technical details of the surgical interventions. Rezultate: În perioada de 17 ani evaluatæ, am efectuat un numær de 46 de intervenflii chirurgicale conservatorii, ceea ce reprezintæ 5,6% din totalul cazurilor de tumori renale maligne operate în perioada menflionatæ. Dintre acestea, 26 au fost tumorectomii (20 tumorectomii unice øi 6 tumorectomii multiple), 14 au fost nefrectomii parfliale polare, iar 6 au fost de tip “wedge resection”. Indicaflia de operaflie “nephronsparing” a fost în 22 cazuri absolutæ øi în 24 cazuri electivæ. Raportul între bærbafli øi femei a fost de 24/22 iar vârsta medie a pacienflilor a fost de 53,3 ani. Am obflinut o diferenflæ semnificativæ statistic între vârsta medie a grupului de pacienfli cu indicaflie absolutæ (56,8 ani) øi cea a grupului cu indicaflie electivæ (50,1 ani). Stadiul tumoral predominant a fost T1 (42 cazuri), iar forma anatomo-patologicæ cea mai frecventæ a fost carcinomul cu celule clare (39 cazuri). Results: During the 17-year period which was evaluated, we have performed a number of 46 nephron-sparing surgical interventions, which represent 5.6% of all renal tumors operated in the mentioned period. Of the 46 interventions, 26 were tumorectomies (20 single tumor and 6 multiple tumor resections), 14 were partial polar nephrectomies, and 6 were wedge resections. The indication for nephron-sparing surgery was in 22 cases absolute and in 24 cases elective. The male/female ratio was 24/22, while the average age at the moment of the intervention was 53.3 years. We have found a statistically significant difference between the average age of the patient group with absolute indication (56.8 years) and that of the group with elective indication (50.1 years). The most frequent tumor stage was T1 (42 cases), while the most frequent pathological form was clear-cell carcinoma (39 cases). Concluzii: Chirurgia de tip “nephron-sparing” este o opfliune terapeuticæ importantæ pentru pacienflii cu tumori renale localizate, care poate aduce o îmbunætæflire semnificativæ a calitæflii vieflii în perioada postoperatorie.

Renal cell carcinoma is one of the most common tumors in adults, accounting for approximately 3% of all cancers. Association of renal tumors and other neoplasia is a rare event. Surgical treatment strategy of bilateral renal tumors and the value of lymph node dissection are subjects of debate. Obiectiv. Scopul acestei lucræri este prezentarea managementului unui caz complex de tumoræ renalæ bilateralæ asociatæ cu limfom Hodgkin. Objective. To present the management of a complex case of bilateral kidney tumors associated with Hodgkin lymphoma. Materiale øi metodæ. Prezentæm cazul unei paciente în vârstæ de 64 de ani internatæ pentru dureri abdominale, inapetenflæ øi scædere ponderalæ. Tomografia abdominalæ a arætat o tumoræ renalæ mare cu extensie in vena cava inferioaræ subhepaticæ, cu adenopatii lateroaortice, interaorticocave si laterocave øi o tumora renalæ dreaptæ de 4 cm situatæ la polul superior. Nu au fost decelate metastaze pe tomografia toracicæ. Strategia terapeuticæ stabilita a presupus efectuarea unei nefrectomii radicale stângi, cu trombectomie si limfodisectie extensivæ ca prim pas.

Materials and methods. We present the case of a 64 years-old woman admitted for abdominal pain, loss of appetite and weight. Abdominal CT showed a massive left kidney tumor with lateroaortic, interaoticocaval and laterocaval lymph node enlargement and extension in the subhepatic inferior vena cava, and a 4 cm upper pole tumor of the right kidney. No distant metastases were revealed on the thoracic CT. The surgical strategy involved a left radical nephrectomy, caval thrombectomy and extensive lymph node dissection as the first step. We made an anterior transperitoneal triradiate incision with bilateral coloparietal dissection. First we went on the right side in order to approach the thrombosed inferior vena cava. The left renal artery is ligated near the aorta. We applied a tourniquet on the suprarenal caval vein just above the tumor thrombus, on the infrarenal cava vein and on the right renal vein. Next we incised the inferior vena cava at the ostium of the left renal vein with the extraction of the thrombus and caval wall suture. Then we moved to the left side and standard perifascial nephrectomy and en bloc thrombectomy was performed. After that we performed an extensive periaortocaval lymph node dissection. Considering that we had no restant tumor tissue, and there was a wide exposure of the right kidney, we decided to perform a right superior polar nephrectomy in the same intervention, with electrothermal bipolar sealing system and a fat flap compression of the tumor bed. nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 Revista Românæ de Urologie Oncologie, Cancerul renal PM.7.10. Managementul unui caz complex de tumoræ renalæ bilateralæ asociatæ cu limfom Hodgkin 103 Oncologie, Cancerul renal Rezultate. Postoperator creatinina a crescut la 2,5 mg/dl si apoi a sczut uøor catre valori normale. Rezultatul histopatologic a pus diagnosticul de carcinom renal cu celule clare grad Fuhrman II øi III si limfom Hodgkin pe piesa de limfodisecflie. Drept urmare a fost inifliat tratamentul specific pentru limfomul Hodgkin (chimioterapie dupa schema EVA – etoposid, vinblastin si doxorubicin). Ræspunsul a fost favorabil si rezultatul oncologic bun la 1 an postoperator. Results. Postoperative creatinine rose to 2.5 mg/dl and then slowly decreased to a normal value. Histopathological examination sowed bilateral clear cell carcinoma Fuhrman II and III and Hodgkin lymphoma in the LND specimen. Consequently specific treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma (chemotherapy with an EVA protocol - etoposide, vinblastine and doxorubicin) was initiated. Favorable response and oncological outcome were registered at 1 year follow-up. Concluzii. Chiar dacæ tratamentul chirurgical al tumorii renale bilaterale presupune douæ operaflii consecutive, prima adresatæ tumorii mai mari, o operaflie concomitentæ se poate realiza in cazuri selecflionate. Limfodisectia in cancerul renal are rol dublu, diagnostic øi terapeutic, øi drept urmare ar trebui realizatæ. Tratamentul adecvat în cazul a douæ tumori simultane poate asigura vindecarea sau îmbunætæfli supraviefluirea. Conclusions. Although bilateral renal tumors surgical strategy usually involves two consecutive operations, first addressed to the largest tumor, a concomitant operation is possible in selected cases. LND in RCC has a double role, diagnostic and therapeutic and must be performed. Proper treatment of two simultaneous neoplasia could provide healing or increase the patients’ survival. 104 Revista Românæ de Urologie nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 C. Gîngu, A. Dick, V. Cerempei, M.

Incidenfla totalæ a cancerului metacron de rinichi este de 0,8% la 20 de ani, mai ridicatæ la tineri (aproximativ 1,5% la 10 ani). În cazul unui rinichi unic, nefrectomia parflialæ este imperativæ pentru a putea fi evitatæ dializa.

Scopul acestei lucræri este de a prezenta necesitatea ecografiei intraoperatorii într-un caz de tumoræ renalæ solitaræ localizatæ central la un rinichi unic. Introduction and objectives. Cumulative incidence of metacronous renal tumors is 0.8% at a 20 year follow-up, higher in younger patients (approximately 1.5% within 10 years). In the case of a solitary kidney, NSS is imperative in order to avoid dialysis. The difficulty of NSS is related to the position of the tumor rather than its dimensions. The objective of this paper is to present the usefulness of intraoperative ultrasonography in a case of centrally located solitary renal tumor. Materiale øi metodæ. Væ prezentæm cazul unui pacient de 62 de ani, cu antecedente de tumoræ renalæ dreaptæ operatæ cu 10 ani înainte (nefrectomie radicalæ), diagnosticat întâmplætor cu tumoræ mediorenalæ stângæ. Aceasta avea un diametru de 3,5 cm, øi era observatæ CT la nivelul valvei posterioare renale. Luând în considerare toate aspectele, s-a decis efectuarea unei nefrectomii parfliale, pentru a pæstra funcflia renalæ. Intervenflia chirurgicalæ a debutat cu lombotomie si disectia grasimii perirenale. Din cauza cæ nu puteam identifica tumora pe suprafafla rinichiului (nu bomba cortexul renal), am decis sæ efectuæm o ecografie intraoperatorie pentru a decela limitele tumorii (cu un Siemens Acuson X300 cu sondæ liniaræ de 13 MHz), în loc sæ consideræm nefrectomia radicalæ øi dializa. Apoi am marcat limitele respective pe suprafafla rinichiului cu ajutorul electrocauterului. Dupæ care am practicat enucleorezecflia, cu hemostazæ tip LigaSure pe vasele importante intrarenale øi plombarea cavitæflii restante cu lambou de græsime perirenalæ. Clamparea arterei renale de scurtæ duratæ (5 minute) a fost necesaræ pentru a scædea pierderile de sânge din timpul hemostazei finale øi al suturii leziunilor de sistem pielocaliceal. Materials and methods. We present the case of a 62 year old male patient with a history of a right renal tumor operated 10 years prior (radical nephrectomy), who came with an incidental diagnosis of central left renal tumor. The tumor had a diameter of 3.5 cm, and the CT scan found it to be closer to the posterior aspect of the renal sinus. Considering all the angles we decided a NSS was best suited, in order to preserve the renal function. The surgical technique involved a lombotomy and perirenal fat dissection. Because we were not able to identify the expression of the tumor on the renal surface (it did not bulge the renal cortex), we decided to perform an intraoperative ultrasound (using a Siemens Acuson X300 with a 13 MHz linear array transducer) to distinguish the limits of the tumor, instead of going directly for a radical nephrectomy and dialysis. We then marked these limits on the surface of the kidney with an electrocautery. We afterwards performed an enucleoresection using LigaSure sealing system on the main intrarenal vessels and tumor bed compression with a perirenal fat flap. Short term (5 minutes) renal artery clamping was needed, to reduce the blood loss while suturing the pyelocaliceal concomitant lesions and conducting the hemostasis. Rezultate. A fost observatæ o creøtere iniflialæ a creatininei pânæ la 2 mg/dl, care apoi s-a remis. Postoperator a fost Results. A temporary rise of creatinine to 2 mg/dl observed.

Nefrectomia parflialæ este tratamentul de elecflie ce permite evitarea dializei în cazurile de tumori renale pe rinichi unic. Tumorile renale localizate central sunt cele mai dificile astfel de cazuri. Ecografia intraoperatorie este imperativæ pentru decelarea limitelor unei tumori care nu are expresie pe suprafafla rinichiului. 106 Revista Românæ de Urologie consequently a double J stent was inserted. The histopathological report revealed a clear cell carcinoma Fuhrman grade 3, stage pT1a. 6 months after surgery the patient developed pulmonary nodes suggestive for metastasis and underwent Sunitinib treatment. At the 1 year follow-up the patient is alive, without oncologic progression and a normal renal function. Conclusions. NSS avoids dialysis in cases with solitary kidney and is the treatment of choice. Centrally located renal tumors are the most difficult cases for NSS. Intraoperative ultrasonography is mandatory for determining the borders of a tumor without an expression on the kidney surface. nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 B. Hæinealæ, C. Baston, M. Hârza, C. Dudu, B.

În acest moment, nu existæ ghiduri clare legate de managementul chirurgical al pacienflilor ce necesitæ tratament cronic anticoagulant øi antiagregant. Acest studiu îøi propune o analizæ retrospectivæ a urmæririi perioperatorii a pacienflilor cu tumori renale, ce au nevoie de tratament anticoagulant permanent. Introduction. At this moment, there are not clear guidances about the surgical management of patients requiring chronic anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy. The aim of the study is a retrospective analysis of postoperative follow-up of patients with renal tumors who needed permanent anticoagulation. Material øi metodæ. În perioada ianuarie 2008 – decembrie 2012 au fost operafli pentru tumori renale un numær de 1239 de pacienfli. Dintre aceøtia, 184 (14,85%) au urmat tratament antiagregant cronic øi 159 (12,83%) au urmat tratament anticoagulant permanent. Patologia pentru care a fost urmat tratamentul a fost reprezentat de fibrilaflie atrialæ 34 pacienfli (9,91%),proteze vasculare 46(13,41%), proteze valvulare 29 (8,45%), accident vascular cerebral 54 (15,74%), I.M.A. stentat 29 (8,45%), IMA nestentat 26 (7,58%), trombozæ venoasæ profundæ 25 (7,28%), cardiopatie ischemicæ 79 (23,03%), trombembolism pulmonar în antecedente 7 (2,04%), tahicardie parxistica supraventricularæ 14(4,08%). Materials and Method. Between January 2008 - December 2012 a number of 1,239 patients underwent surgery for renal tumors. Out of these, 184 (14.85%) followed chronic antiplatelet treatment and 159 (12.83%) followed permanent anticoagulation. Anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy was for the treatment of: atrial fibrillation 34 patients (9.91%), vascular prosthesis 46 patients (13.41%), prosthetic valve 29 patients (8.45%), stroke 54 patients (15.74 %), acute myocardial infarction stented 29 patients (8.45%), acute myocardial infarction unstented 26 patients (7.58%), deep vein thrombosis 25 patients (7.28%), ischemic heart disease 79 patients (23.03%), history of pulmonary embolism 7 patients (2.04%), supraventricular tachycardia 14 patients (4.08%). Rezultate. Tuturor pacienflilor le-a fost oprit tratamentul antiagregant timp de 7 zile si cel anticoagulant timp de 4 zile preoperator øi a fost înlocuit cu heparinæ cu greutate moleculara micæ. Dintre pacienflii cu tratament anticoagulant cronic, un numær de 41 (11,95%) a necesitat transfuzii cu mai puflin de 2 mese eritricitare, un numær de 15 (4,37%) a necesitat mai mult de 2 mese eritrocitare, faflæ de 7,64 % respectiv 3,65% cât au necesitat restul grupului. Complicafliile postoperatorii ale pacienflilor cu tratament anticoagulant øi antiagregant cronic faflæ de restul grupului au fost reprezentate de: trombembolism pulmonar 26 pacienfli (7,58%) respectiv 52 (5,80%), infarct miocardic acut 11 pacienfli (3,20%) respectiv 17 (1,89%), A.V.C. hemoragic 4 pacienfli (1,16%) respectiv 9 (1%) , trombozæ venoasæ profundæ 17 pacienfli (4,95%) respectiv 36 (4,01%), hematoame 21 pacienfli (6,12%) respectiv 49 (5,46%). Concluzii. Pacienflii cu tumori renale cu tratament cronic antiagregant øi anticoagulant necesitæ o pregatire øi urmærire perioperatorie specialæ, fiind nevoie de un atent echilibru între riscul de sângerare øi riscul de trombembolism. Nu a existat o creøtere importantæ a ratei complicafliilor sau a mortalitæflii în cazul pacienflilor cu tratament anticoagulant sau antiagregant cronic de aceea acesta nu trebuie sæ reprezinte un impediment în calea abordului chirurgical al acestora. nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 Oncologie, Cancerul renal PM.7.12. Tratamentul tumorilor renale în cazul pacienflilor cu tratament anticoagulant øi antiagregant cronic preoperator Results. All patients had stopped antiplatelet therapy for 7 days and the anticoagulant for 4 days preoperatively and the therapy was replaced with low molecular weight heparin. Out of patients with chronic anticoagulant therapy, a total of 41 (11.95%) required transfusions of less than 2 BU, a total of 15 (4.37%) required for more than 2 BU, compared to 69 patients (7.70%) and 32 (3.57%) as required the rest of the group. Postoperative complications in patients with chronic anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapy compared to the rest of the group were: pulmonary embolism 26 patients (7.58%) vs. 52 (5.80%), acute myocardial infarction 11 patients (3.20%) vs. 17 (1.89%), stroke hemorrhagic 4 patients (1.16%) vs. 9 (1%), deep vein thrombosis 17 patients (4.95%) vs 36 (4.01%), hematomas 21 patients (6.12%) vs. 49 (5, 46%). Conclusion. Patients with renal tumors and chronic antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy require special perioperative preparation and medical care, providing a careful balance between the risk of bleeding and the risk of thromboembolism. There was no significant increase in complications or mortality rate in patients with chronic anticoagulation or antiplatelet therapy, that is why it should not be an impediment to their surgical approach.

Tratamentul sindromului de joncfliune pielo-ureteralæ Purpose. The open pyeloplasty remains the gold standard for treating ureteropelvic junction obstruction. The minimally invasive technique, endourology and laparoscopy have an important role in the management of upper tract stenosis. We present our results for the treatment of ureteropelvic junction obstruction. Material and methods. This is a retrospective study which took place between 01.01.2010 and 31.12.2012 in the “Prof Th Burghele” hospital, on a number of 131 patients with ureteropelvic junction obstruction. A total of 68 females and 63 males with a mean age of 36.9 years suffering from ureteropelvic junction obstruction were treated with percutaneous endopyelotomy and laparoscopic or open dismembered pyeloplasty and followed for 3 months. Diagnosis was based on findings of ultrasound, excretory urography, retrograde ureteropyelography. In cases of ureteral kinking color duplex sonography and spiral computerized tomography were performed. In 13 patients with UPJ stenosis percutaneous endopyelotomy was performed, while the 113 patients remaining were treated with open pyeloplasty (67 cases) and laparoscopic pyeloplasty (46 cases). Results. In the laparoscopic group (success rate 95.65%), mean operation time was 160 minutes, days of hospitalization were 5.43. In the endopyelotomy group (success rate of 92.3%) the aforementioned variables were 50 minutes, 6.9 days, respectively. In the open group (success rate of 97.01%) aforementioned variables were 80 minutes, 8,68 days. Shortterm follow up excretory urography and/or diuretic renal scan demonstrated improvement in all patients. Conclusions. The open pyeloplasty remains the gold standard for treating ureteropelvic junction obstruction. Laparoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty, although technically challenging, provides excellent results for primary or secondary ureteropelvic junction stenosis Percutaneous endopyelotomy should be the treatment for selected cases of ureteropelvic junction obstruction, if the surgery is performed by an experienced percutaneous surgeon.

Prezenfla litiazei joase sau înalte complicæ rezolvarea iniflialæ dar rata de stone free este mare, cu rezultate bune øi stabile pe termen lung. Patients and methods. From January 2003 to January 2013, 46 adult patients suffering by orthotopic ureterocele were admitted in our center. Single ureterocele were discovered in 42 cases and bilateral ureterocele in 4 cases with a total of 50 orthotopic ureterocele. 28 cases had secondary stone in the ureterocele and 9 cases had secondary renal lithiasis. The main symptoms were: abdominal pain, back pain, blood in the urine, burning pain while urinating - dysuria, fever, flank pain, frequent and urgent urination urinary tract infection. Endoscopic surgery was considered in all cases. Incision of the ureter was the golden standard and extraction of the calculi were performed preceded in some cases by ballistic or laser lithotripsy. The procedure was uneventful in all patients. In 9 cases we performed ESWL for renal lithiasis with a stone free rate of 90%. 38 patients were available for followup at 6 months and one year (ultrasound and IVP). None of these patients had any evidence of residual ureterocele when evaluated with intravenous urography at12 months. No reflux was found with MCU at 12 months in cases without ureterocele lithiasis. Conclusions. Endoscopic resection of adult orthotopic ureterocele with or without associated calculi effectively decompressed the kidney and removed stones in all patients without any significant postoperative morbidity. Low-grade VUR and hydronephrosis may occur postoperatively in cases with secondary lithiasis. 116 Revista Românæ de Urologie nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 1 Segmentar ureterectomy to a patient with gigantic left inguinoscrotal hernia 1 D.

The patient S.A, with the age of 65 years, presents in the urology ambulatory with old, left lombar pain of reduced intensity. The clinical examination reveals a gigantic left inguino-scrotal hernia that was irreductible. At the ultrasound examination we observe grade II left hydronephrosis, with the expansion of the proximal ureter and left renal ptosis. The late urographic cliché at 3 hours reveals the ptosis of the left kidney with the expansion of the pielocaliceal system and unviewed ureter. We performed retrograde ureteropielography emphasizing the left ureter in the scrotum with the hernial sac. We made a surgical intervention with an inguinal approach with the isolation of the ureter, segmentary ureteral abscission and termino-terminal anastomosis on a double J stent. We opened the hernial sac that contained sigmoid colon and we restored it in the abdominal cavity with the suture of the abdominal wall and left orchiectomy. Rezultate. Evoluflia a fost favorabilæ cu suprimarea sondei JJ la 3 luni postoperator, aspect ecografic øi urografic normal al rinichiului stâng. Concluzii.

Introduction/objectives: Ureaplasma urealyticum (U) is a member of the Mycoplasmataceae family. Known earlier as biovar 2, it was classified as a new species in 1999. It spreads by sexual route and can be isolated from the urethra of healthy men. This bacterium lacks cell wall and cannot be destroyed by antibiotics targeting this area such as penicillin. The aim of our study is to follow up the antibiotic sensitivity of U strains isolated from symptomatic male patients. Material øi metodæ: Studiul a fost efectuat în perioada Ianuarie 2010- Octombrie 2012, pe un lot de 205 bærbafli cu vârsta între 19-70 de ani, de la care s-au prelevat secreflii uretrale øi care au acuzat disurie øi dureri uretrale. Probele au fost cultivate pe mediul Mycoplasma IST2. Rezultatele identificærii øi sensibilitatea la antibiotice au fost citite dupæ 48 de ore de la însæmânflare. În acest studiu am testat Ureaplasma la 9 antibiotice: doxiciclinæ, josamycinæ, ofloxacinæ, eritromicinæ, tetraciclinæ, ciprofloxacinæ, azitromicinæ, claritromicinæ øi pristinamicinæ. Rezultate: Au fost diagnosticafli cu infecflie 44 de pacienfli, cei mai mulfli cu vârsta între 21- 50 de ani. În 2011 øi 2012 am testat 24 de pacienfli, 12 în 2011 øi 12 în 2012. Sensibilitatea s-a menflinut de 100% pentru josamicinæ øi pristinamicinæ, dar a scæzut pentru tetracicline de la 100% la 83,83%, iar claritromicinæ de la 100% la 91,66%. Sensibilitatea la fluoroquinolone s-a menflinut scæzutæ, aproape de 50% pentru ofloxacin, în timp ce nici un caz nu a fost sensibil la ciprofloxacinæ. Concluzii: Frecvenfla rezistenflei Ureaplasmei la fluoroquinolone s-a pæstrat ridicatæ. Tetraciclinele pot fi folosite ca øi terapie de primæ linie deoarece rezistenfla s-a menflinut scæzutæ pe toatæ perioada studiului. Deoarece rezistenfla la antibiotice este în continuæ creøtere, este necesaræ testarea la antibiotice înainte de iniflierea tratamentului. 120 Revista Românæ de Urologie Material and methods: between January 2010 and October 2012, 205 urethral swabs were collected from male patients aged 19-70, accusing dysuria and urethral discharge. Culturind was performed on Mycoplasma IST2 medium. Identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing were done and results were red after 48 hours. We used 9 antibiotics for testing their susceptibility: doxycycline, josamycin, ofloxacin, erythromycin, tetracycline, ciprofloxacin, azythromycin, clarithromycin and pristinamycin. Results: U infections were found in 44 patients (21,08%), mostly in patients aged 21- 50. In the 2011 and 2012 we tested 24 patients for their sensitivity 12 in 2011 and 12 in 2012. Their sensitivity maintained almost 100% for josamycin and pristinamycin, but decreased to tetracyclines from 100% to 83,83%, and clarithromycin from 100% to 91,66%. On the other hand the sensitivity remains at low level to ofloxacin 50% and to ciprofloxacin was resistant. Conclusion: the frequency of fluoroquinolones resistant U strains was high. Tetracyclines can be used as first intention therapy, because the resistance against them remained low throughout the investigated period. Due to increased resistance, susceptibility testing is recommended in conditions that need treatment with antibiotics. nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 Fournier gangrene – experience of the Timisoara Urological Clinic in the last 12 years G.

Lucrarea prezintæ experienfla clinicii noastre în tratamentul acestei afecfliuni în ultimii 12 ani, între anii 2001 - 2012. Objectives: The Fournier gangrene is a rare but very severe disease, with a mortality which stays high between 20 and 30%. We evaluate the experience of our clinic in the treatment of this pathology in the last 12 years, between 2001 and 2012. Material øi metodæ: În perioada studiatæ au fost internafli de urgenflæ 25 pacienfli cu diagnosticul de gangrenæ Fournier. Vârsta pacienflilor a variat între 53-91 ani , cu o medie de 67,3 ani. La tofli pacienflii diagnosticul a fost stabilit uøor pe baza tabloului clinic caracteristic, în diverse faze evolutive. Prezentarea la medic sub 48 ore de la debutul bolii s-a înregistrat doar la 11 pacienfli (44%). Starea septicæ s-a înregistrat la 12 pacienfli (48%). Etiologic sursa a fost genito-urinaræ la 20 pacienfli (80%) (orhiepididimita, stricturi uretrale cunoscute øi neglijate, traumatisme uretrale), la 3 pacienfli punctul de plecare a fost ano-rectal (flegmon de fosa ischiorectalæ sau cancer de rect), în timp ce doi pacienfli au prezentat hematoame peno-scrotale suprainfectate. Tofli pacienfli prezentau boli asociate, diabetul zaharat fiind afecfliunea cea mai frecventæ între acestea (48%). La 7 pacienfli (28%) s-a constatat øi o stare de igienæ precaræ. Intervenflia chirurgicalæ s-a efectuat în toate cazurile în primele 2-4 ore de la stabilirea diagnosticului. 13 pacienfli (52%) au necesitat una sau mai multe reintervenflii, în 14 cazuri a fost necesaræ orhiectomia, într-un caz s-a recurs la amputaflia penianæ parflialæ. La doi pacienfli s-au practicat ulterior intervenflii plastice reconstructive (grefe tegumentare). Material and method: In this period of time, 25 patients were admitted as emergencies with Fournier gangrene. The patients were between 53 and 91 years old (mean 67.3). The diagnosis was easily established in all cases, based on the characteristic clinical examination. Only 11 patiens asked medical help in the first 48 hours after they noticed the first symptoms. Septic shock was diagnosed in 12 cases (48%). The ethiology was a genital or urinary disease in 20 patients (80%) (orhiepididimitis, neglected urethral stricture, urethral trauma); in 3 patients the gangrene started from a rectal disease (rectal cancer or perirectal abcess) while in two cases the cause was an infected scrotal hematoma. All patients had at least one associated pathological condition, diabetes being the most frequent (48%). In 7 patients (28%) a poor hygiene condition was also obvious. The surgical treatment was performed in every case in the first 2-4 hours after diagnosis. 13 patients needed at least one more surgery; orhiectomy was performed in 14 cases and one case needed partial penile amputation. A plastic surgery (dermal graft) was performed later in two patiens. Rezultate: Rata de supraviefluire a fost de 76% (19 pacienfli), cele 6 decese fiind consecinfla unor evoluflii supraacute cu soc toxicoseptic (4 cazuri) sau decompensærii bolilor asociate (2 cazuri). Results: The survival rate was 76% (19 patients); six patients died due to severe septical shock (4 cases) or due to associated diseases (2 cases). Concluzii: Gangrena Fournier este o afecfliune gravæ, ce necesitæ un diagnostic precoce øi o atitudine medico-chirurgicalæ rapidæ øi sustinutæ, adaptatæ co-morbiditatilor pacientului. Reintervenfliile chirurgicale, complicafliile medicale øi rata de supraviefluire înregistrate în cazuistica noastræ au depins foarte mult de prezentarea precoce la medic, starea de igienæ øi imunitaræ a pacientului, cât øi de gravitatea patologiei asociate. Conclusion: The Fournier gangrene is a severe condition, which needs an early diagnosis, quick surgical intervention and sustained and intense treatment, adapted to the associated diseases of the patient. The need for secondary surgeries, the medical complications and the survival rate depended on how early the diagnosis was established, the hygenic and immunity condition of the patient and on how severe the associated diseases were. nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 Revista Românæ de Urologie Varia PN.10.

Sinescu Center of Uronephrology and Kidney Transplantation, Fundeni Clinical Institute, Bucharest Introduction. Vesicoenteric fistulae are abnormal communications between the bladder and the intestinal tract, most commonly found in diverticulitis, colorectal carcinoma and inflammatory bowel diseases. Diverticulitis represents the most frequent cause of colovesical fistulae, being involved in 71% to 75% of cases. Approximately 3% of patients with diverticulitis develop a colovesical fistula. The most common symptom of a vesicoenteric fistula is pneumaturia followed by fecaluria. The treatment strategy is challenging, requiring a multidisciplinary approach, complications being reported in up to 50% of cases. Materials and Methods. A 48 year old patient, without any significant medical history, was admitted with fecaluria, also complaining of polakiuria and diffuse abdominal discomfort. Standard medical examination was free of other signs or symptoms. Digital rectal examination showed a normal prostate, bimanual examination indicating a profound abdomino-pelvic mass. CT and MRI revealed a large abdomino-pelvic tumor. Cystoscopy was performed and an abnormal communication between the half-right posterior bladder wall and a near structure (giving the clinical and imaging particularities, probably sigmoid colon) was discovered. A biopsy was taken. The result revealed mainly uncertain inflammatory type tissue. Colonoscopy was indicated, but unfortunately it could not be carried out because of an obstacle located at the sigmoid loop. A laparotomy was performed and a large mass was discovered involving the sigmoid loop and posterior bladder wall. We approached it as sigmoid cancer with bladder invasion. A partial cystectomy within oncological safety margins was performed, with right double J stented ureteral reimplatation, because the right ureter was clinging in the peritumoral inflamatory tissue.

Examinarea histopatologicæ pune în evidenflæ diverticul sigmoidian abcedat de dimensiuni mari cu fistulæ vezico-sigmoidianæ øi flesut inflamator perilezional. Concluzii. Pneumaturia øi fecaluria reprezintæ simptome de primæ prezentare în cazul pacienflilor cu fistule vezicosigmoidiene. Deøi aspectul macroscopic intraoperator de cele mai multe ori orienteazæ chirurgul spre o leziune de naturæ neoplazicæ, fistulele vezico-sigmoidiene apar cel mai frecvent în cazul bolii diverticulare colonice complicate. Fistulele vezico-sigmoidiene trebuie considerate neoplasme pânæ la proba contrarie, tratamentul de elecflie în viziunea noastræ fiind cistectomia parfliala în limite de securitate oncologicæ øi rezecflie rectosigmoidianæ. nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 th catheter was removed in the 10 , the patient being discharged after 11 days. The pathological examination displayed an abscessed sigmod diverticulum with a sigmoidvesical fistula and inflammatory surrounding tissue. Conclusions. Pneumaturia and fecaluria are the first presenting symptoms in patients with sigmoid-vesical fistulae. Even though the macroscopic intraoperative appearance can be deceiving because of the inflammatory surrounding tissue, most cases turn up after histopathological examination as abscessed diverticulitis. Sigmoid masses with sigmoid-vesical fistulae must be treated as cancer until further proof, the standard therapy being partial cystectomy within oncological margins and a rectosigmoid resection.

Introduction: Introduction of new methods, TUR-is and Plasma Vaporization represents a challenge for TURP. Transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) still represents the gold standard for patients suffering by BPH. The quantum of the transition zone (TZ) is important for treating BPH. As long as hyperplasia is developed mainly in the transition zone, the resection rate of the transition zone (RRTZ) represents the key of surgery. The effect of the transition zone resection rate of TURP was evaluated according to the prostate volume. Metode: Studiul a fost efectuat în perioada iunie 2011 – iunie 2012 pe un lot de 48 de pacienfli. 28 de pacienfli au fost tratafli prin TURP øi 20 prin TURis. În funcflie de rata de rezecflie din prostata tranziflionalæ, pacienflii au fost împærflifli în înca douæ grupe, cu rezecflie sub 75% din volumul acesteia øi peste 75% din prostata tranziflionalæ.

Introduction: Horseshoe kidney is the most common renal fusion anomaly. Particular cases like abnormal kidney location, aberrant vasculature and the renal isthmus present technical challenges for the laparoscopic approach. Minimally invasive surgery decreased the morbidity and improved the postoperative recovery. We present a case of heminephrectomy using laparoscopic techniques. Material øi metodæ: Pacienta de 25 ani cu antecedente urologice de pielonefritæ acutæ a fost diagnosticatæ imagistic (ecografic, UIV øi CT) cu rinichi drept hipoplazic, malrotat, funcflional, cu nefrograma diminuatæ polar inferior. A fost efectuatæ heminefrectomie transperitonealæ dreaptæ laparoscopicæ. Tehnica operatorie: - poziflia pacientei - decubit lateral stâng la 45 grade; - s-au utilizat 4 trocare în poziflie standard ( 2 trocare de 10 mm øi 2 de 5 mm); - identificarea ureterului øi disecflia ascendentæ a acestuia spre basinet; identificarea pediculilor vasculari multipli, ligaturarea acestora cu clipuri Hemolock; - identificarea istmului cu electrorezecflia acestuia; - tub de dren latero-colic drept. Diagnosticul de rinichi în potcoavæ a fost pus intraoperator. Methods: A 25 year-old female patient with acute pyelonephritis an year ago was diagnosed (ultrasound, IVU, CT) with hypoplastic, malrotated, functional right kidney, with a decreased lower pole nephrogram. A right transperitoneal laparoscopic heminephrectomy was performed. Surgical technique: - the patient is placed in right kidney position at an angle of 45 degrees; - 4 ports placed in standard position (10mmX2, 5mmX2); - identification and dissection of the ureter; - identification, clipping and dividing the multiple vascular pedicles; - identification and electroresection of the isthmus, - right latero-colic drainage. The horseshoe kidney diagnosis was an intraoperatory one. Rezultate: Timpul operator a fost de 180 minute, cu o pierdere de sânge de 70 ml. Nu au existat complicaflii intraoperatorii sau postoperatorii. Durata de spitalizare a fost de 4 zile postintervenflie. La 2 luni de la operaflie pacienta este asimptomaticæ, cu funcflie renalæ stângæ pæstratæ. Rezultatul histopatologic: pielonefritæ cronicæ în focare, “tiroidizare”, metaplazie oncocitaræ.

The laparoscopic approach in the treatment of renal tumors is, according to the European Association of Urology, a safe alternative to the open approach. Radical nephrectomy is considered the gold standard treatment of T1 and T2 renal tumor where nephron sparing surgery is not feasible. Either the retro- or trans-peritoneal approach must follow the same oncological principles as the classic approach. Thus, the dissection of the renal pedicle is a crucial step during surgery, and vascular injury during its preparation can have dramatic consequences. We present a case of laparoscopic partial nephrectomy during which an injury of the renal vein occurred, that was successfully managed laparoscopically via suturing. Postoperative follow-up imaging showed satisfactory perfusion of the renal parenchyma. This case shows the feasibility of laparoscopic repair of vascular injury in renal surgery, but its success is dependent on the expertise of the operating surgeon and close postoperative follow-up. 128 Revista Românæ de Urologie nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 B.

Evaluarea subiectivæ a sistemului 3D în intervenfliile laparoscopice ale glandei suprarenale Laparoscopic adrenalectomy is considered an alternative to the classical approach, offering similar functional and oncological outcomes with the advantage of lowered postoperative morbidity. Technical limitations of laparoscopy (including bidimensional vision with absence of the depth of field, lack of tactile sense) increase the overall difficulty of the intervention, reducing the number of patients that could benefit from it. Laparoscopic vision systems have evolved over the years, with the current trend being the introduction of high definition 3d video systems. We aimed to evaluate the impact this technical progress has on the surgeon, the assistants, and cost benefit ratio in comparison with the service’s previous experience with bidimensional vision system. Over several procedures during which the system was used, operators noticed increased comfort during surgery due to the operative field’s depth which enabled increased precision for maneouvers, reflected in part in decreased surgical times.

Prezentarea tehnicii de VES longitudinalæ cu invaginarea tubului seminifer în ductul deferent. Introduction. Microsurgical vasoepididymostomy (VES) is considered the most technically challenging type of surgery for the male reproductive system. VES is the preferred approach for azoospermia secondary to epididymal obstruction, with reported patency and natural pregnancy rates of 60 -95% and respectively 27-49%. Our approach for the first 47 patients was a modified Berger technique with a patency and natural pregnancy rates of 81% and 36.4 %. In order to obtain a better result, some technical modifications was identified and applied. Metode. Funiculul spermatic a fost abordat bilateral printr-o incizie scrotalæ înaltæ prelungitæ pânæ la proiecflia orificiului inghinal superficial. S-a expus testiculul în plagæ, apoi vaginala testicularæ a fost deschisæ øi eversatæ. S-a identificat coada epididimului øi s-a plasat microscopul în câmpul operator. S-a disecat un singur tub seminifer, cât mai aproape de coada epididimului. La nivelul tubului s-au plasat douæ ace, orientate longitudinal, cu fir 10.0, de 2,5 cm. Tubul sa incizat între cele douæ ace øi fluidul aspirat a fost examinat la microscopul optic în sala de operaflie pentru identificarea spermatozoizilor vii. Dacæ aceøtia au fost identificafli ductul deferent a fost secflionat øi disecat pânæ la orificiul inghinal extern. Firele au fost trecute dinspre interior spre exterior prin lumenul deferentului. Suturile au fost strânse, ducând la invaginarea tubului seminifer în lumenul deferenflial, finalizând astfel anastomoza. Methods. The spermatic cord and the testis were approached bilateral by a high scrotal incision up to the level of external inguinal canal. The testis was delivered and the vaginalis tunica was opened and reversed. The tail of the epididymis was identified and a microscope was brought into the operatory field. A single epididymal tubule was exposed as caudal as possible. Two parallel double arm fishhook needle, 10.0, 2.5 cm long sutures are placed in the selected epididymal tubule, oriented longitudinally. Tubule is incised between the two needles. The epididymal fluid was aspirated and a small amount was examined immediately by light microscope into operating room for viable sperm. If they were present, the vas deferent was cut and dissected up to the external inguinal ring. The double-arm needles are placed in-to-out through the vasal lumen. The sutures was tie down allowing the epididymal tubule to be intussuscepted into the vasal lumen, completing the anastomosis. Concluzii. Principalele modificæri aduse tehnicii sunt o disecflie mai amplæ a ductului deferent, utilizarea unui fir mai scurt dublu armat øi incizia longitudinalæ a tubului seminifer. Acestea duc la ratæ de patenflæ mai mare la 3 luni de la operaflie, comparativ cu tehnica Berger modificatæ (81% vs 54%). nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 Video – Infertilitate V.2.1.

Voinea, C. Gagiu, I. Manea, T. Priporeanu, A. fiurcanu, B, Hæinealæ, M Hârza, I Sinescu Center of Uronephrology and Renal Transplantation Fundeni Clinical Institute, Bucharest Introduction. Varicocele represents the most common cause of male infertility. An ideal varicocelectomy should respect the following criteria: spare all arteries (especially the internal spermatic artery – the main blood supply of the testicle), spare lymphatic vessels, as well as the deferent vas with its vessels, cut all gubernacular, internal and external spermatic veins use a mini incision without splitting the fasciae or muscle and no X-ray exposure. Objective. The objective is to present our microsurgical subinguinal varicocelectomy technique (MSV) with delivery of the testicle. Materials and methods. The spermatic cord was approached through a 3-4 cm transverse incision centered over the external inguinal ring. The testis was delivered through the incision and all the gubernacular and external spermatic veins were ligated. The testis was placed inside the scrotum. For patients complaining of testicular pain, a segment from the ilio-inguinal nerve was excised and the remaining segments were ligated. The spermatic cord was then exposed and placed over a Baraya clamp. The operative microscope was brought into the operating field and all the following steps were performed under X8–X15 magnification. All the veins within the cord (without deferential veins) were transected and ligated with 5.0 Vicryl or coagulated. The vas deferens and associated vessels, lymphatics, as well as the spermatic and cremasteric arteries were all preserved. The main criterion for identifying the internal or external spermatic artery was the pulsation of the vas. Conclusions. Considering that MSV with delivery of the testicle meets all the requirements of an ideal cure for varicocele, it has become standard practice in our clinic. In our experience, this procedure offers a high pregnancy rate (31% in the first year and 52% in the second year) and a very low rate of complications (bleeding 0%, infections 1%, clinic hydrocele 1%, atrophy 0%, recurrence 1%). nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 S.

Azoospermia este prezentæ la 1% din bærbaflii din populaflia generalæ øi la 10-15 % din bærbaflii infertili. Azoospermia poate sæ aparæ în douæ situaflii clinice diferite: testiculele produc spermatozoizi dar aceøtia nu sunt ejaculafli datoritæ obstrucfliei de cale spermaticæ – azoospermie obstructivæ sau nu existæ/este foarte scæzutæ producflia de spermatozoizi – azoospemia nonobstructivæ. Infertilitatea cauzatæ de azoospermia nonobstructivæ este severæ øi dificil de tratat. Pânæ în urmæ cu câfliva ani singurele opfliuni constau în efectuarea de FIV cu donator de spermæ sau adopflie, însæ, cercetærile recente au schimbat radical aceastæ viziune.

Voinea, C. Gagiu, I. Manea, T. Priporeanu, M. Hârza, I. Sinescu Center of Uronephrology and Renal Transplantation, Fundeni Clinic Institute, Bucharest Introduction. The incidence of azoospermia is 1% in the general male population and 10-15% of the infertile males. Azoospermia has two different clinical expressions: the testicles produce spermatozoa, but they are not ejaculated due to spermatic tract obstruction - obstructive azoospermia, or spermatozoa production is insufficient/absent - nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA). Infertility caused by NOA is severe and difficult to treat. Until a few years ago, the only options were in vitro fertilization (IVF) with a sperm donor, or adoption, but recent research lead to a radical change in its therapeutic approach. Men with non-obstructive azoospermia have a severely altered spermatogenesis, but non-uniform. The testicular histology of men suffering from NOA is always modified, revealing a combination of Sertolycell-only, spermatogenesis arrest, associated with microscopic areas of hypospermatogenesis. Testicular biopsy randomly harvests <5% of the seminiferous tubules, with a very small chance of finding the usually <1mm areas where the sperm are product. MicroTESE is the most efficient method of retrieve spermatozoa from patients with NOA. Video – Infertilitate V.2.3. Micro TESE – cum recoltæm spermatozoizi când alte tehnici au dat greø Objective.To present the microTESE technique for a patient who underwent previous negative testicular biopsy. Materials and method. MicroTESE consists of a wide incision of the testicle and the microscopic dissection (x20x30) of the testicular tissue with the purpose of identifying whitish, dilated tubules which frequently contain spermatozoa suitable for IVF. Conclusions. MicroTESE is the only technique that can be used to retrieve spermatozoa from patients who underwent other procedures (puncture, aspiration, testicular biopsy), without finding sperm. MicroTESE presents three advantages: it increases the chances of harvesting spermatozoa (50-70%); it takes a small amount of testicular tissue (avoiding post operatory testicular insufficiency) and has a low risk of damaging the testicular vessels and consequent testicular atrophy.

Niflæ, P. Geavlete Department of Urology, “Saint John” Emergency Clinical Hospital, Bucharest ntroduction and objectives: Laser treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia is an alternative therapy especially for patients undergoing chronic anticoagulation therapy, and it also avoids the risk of TURP syndrome. At the moment, there are 4 categories of lasers : KTP, diode, holmium and thulium. The purpose of this study is to analyse the operative technique and short-term outcomes of vaporesection using Thulium Laser, the newest type of laser used in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Material and method: Thulium Laser vaporesection (ThuVARP) has been employed on 8 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, who were undergoing chronic anticoagulation therapy. The diagnostic protocol included a prostate exam, PSA dosing, IPSS, uroflowmetry, urinalysis and uroculture. A Vela XL 120 W laser with a 1,9 µm wavelengh was used. The interventions were performed in a classic saline enviroment („tangerine“ technique), using a Stortz laser resectoscope. One month and 3 month postoperative follow-ups were performed on all patients. Results: Mean prostate volume 40 cc (between 30 and 50 cc). Average surgery time was 60 minutes (between 30 and 80 minutes). Post-operative catheterization time was 24 hours. Mean hemoglobin drop was 0,80 g/dl, and intra-operative bleeding was almost nill thanks to the Thulium laser’s hemostatic properties. There were no intra-operative, or immediate post-operative complications. All pre-operative parameters were significantly improved at the 1 month and 3 month post-operative follow-ups. Concluzii: Vaporesection of the prostate using the Thulium Laser is an efficient treatment option for patients with medium sized benign prostatic hyperplasia, and boasts reduced morbidity and a minimal hospitalization time. nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 D.

Prezentæm tehnica de lucru øi rezultatele obflinute prin TURP în ser fiziologic øi plasma-vaporizarea prostatei (TURis – PVP) pentru tratamentul obstrucfliei subverzicale prin adenom prostatic. Introduction and Objective. The morbidity of transurethral resection of the prostate necessitates constant attempts at modifications of the standard equipment and technique. We present the surgical technique and our results with transurethral resection in saline and bipolar plasma electro vaporization of the prostate (TURIS-PVP) for treatment of bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Material øi Metodæ. În intervalul ianuarie-decembrie 2012 am tratat prin TURis – PVP 123 pacienfli. Bilanflul diagnostic preoperator a inclus IPSS, Qol øi mæsurarea prin ecografie abdominala a volumului prostatic øi a reziduului vezical postmicflional (RPM). Pacienflii au fost reevaluafli la 6 sæptæmâni postoperator utilizând acelaøi bilanfl diagnostic. Am înregistrat necesarul de transfuzii øi rata de complicaflii precoce. Rezultate. Vârsta medie a pacienflilor a fost de 65,5 ani (51-82 ani, SD 7,28). Volumul prostatic mediu a fost de 62 mL, timpul operator mediu de 75 minute (35-150 minute, SD 23,2). Majoritatea pacienflilor au fost externafli dupæ 24 ore (34%) sau 36 ore (56%); restul dupæ 3 sau 4 zile (6% øi respectiv 4%). Cateterul uretro-vezical a fost suprimat dupæ 7 zile. Preoperator valorile medii ale IPSS, QoL øi RPM au fost de 19, 4 øi respectiv 80 mL; postoperator acestea au ajuns la 7, 3 øi respectiv 10 mL. Un pacient a necesitat recateterizare pentru 7 zile. Cinci pacienfli au necesitat transfuzie de sânge; nu am înregistrat alte complicaflii intraoperatorii. Postoperator 15 pacienfli au prezentat incontinenflæ urinaræ uøoaræ la suprimarea cateterului; la 6 sæptæmâni 4 pacienfli mai prezentau pierderi urinare necontrolate, pentru ca, la 3 luni postoperator, sæ nu mai înregistræm incontinenflæ urinaræ. Concluzii. Rata de complicaflii intraoperatorii în caz de TURis – PVP este redusæ. În urma intervenfliei recuperarea este rapidæ, cu rezultate funcflionale foarte bune pe termen scurt. Material and Methods. Between January and December 2012 TURIS-PVP was performed in 123 men with BOO due to BPH. The preoperative investigation protocol included IPSS, QoL score and abdominal ultrasonography assessing prostate volume and post-voiding residual urinary volume (PVR). The patients were evaluated 6 weeks after surgery using IPSS, QoL and PVR. We recorded the necessity of blood transfusion and early complications rate. Results. The median age of the patients was 65.5 years (5182 years, SD 7.28). The average BPH size was 62 ml, the mean operating time was 75 minutes (35-150 minutes, SD 23.2). The majority of the patients were discharged after 24 hours (34%) or 36 hours (56%). The rest were discharged at 3 or four days (6 and 4% respectively). The catheterization time was 7 days. Preoperatively, the mean value of IPSS was 19, the mean QoL score was 4, the mean RV was 80 ml. Five patients required blood transfusions; there were no other significant intraoperative complications. Postoperatively one patient required re-catheterization for 7 days. We recorded 15 patients with mild early postoperative urinary incontinence (4 patients still incontinent at 6 weeks, no incontinence after 3 months). The mean postoperative IPSS score was 7 and the mean PVR 10 ml. Video – Hipertrofie benignæ a prostatei V.3.4.

Nu am gæsit o introducere mai bunæ pentru aceastæ prezentare video decât cuvintele clasice ale lui Pat Walsh: “În trecut rata incontinenflei era foarte ridicatæ. Înaintea dezvoltærii tehnicii anatomice, chirurugul tæia complexul venos dorsal în apropierea planøeului pelvin. CVD se retracta în afara razei vizuale øi nu putea fi controlat, iar porfliunea anterioaræ a sfincterului striat era excizatæ. Prin metode îmbunætæflite de hemostazæ, partea anterioaræ din sfincterul striat este pastratæ” (Walsh J Urol, 1998). Væ prezentæm în acest film rafinamentul tehnic al acestei etape cruciale a intervenfliei de prostatectomie radicalæ, cheia asigurærii celor trei obiective. Introduction and Objectives. I couldn’t find a better introduction for this video presentation than the classic words of Pat Walsh: “In the past the rates of incontinence were very high. Before the anatomical approach was developed the surgeon cut the dorsal vein complex next to the pelvic floor. The DVC retracted out of sight and could not be controlled, and the anterior portion of the striated sphincter was excised. With improved approaches to the control of hemostasis, more of the anterior striated sphincter was preserved.” (Walsh J Urol 1998). We present in this video the technical refinements of this crucial part of this surgical procedure that represent the key of achieving trifecta. Materiale øi Metode. Chiar dacæ prostatectomia radicalæ retropubicæ este acum o proceduræ standardizatæ, existæ multe detalii tehnice care o pot uøura. Abordul optim este încæ subiect de discuflie, øi multe metode de ligaturæ a CVD au fost descrise. Consideræm cæ ligatura selectivæ a CVD este tehnic fezabilæ, øi permite o disecflie mai precisæ a apexului prostatic. De obicei folosim 2-3 fire de suturæ (PDS 4x0, cu ac UR-6), care sunt trecute superficial prin CVD. Læsæm aceste fire pe loc øi le folosim ca repere pentru hemostaza ulterioaræ CVD. Aceastæ ligaturæ ce implicæ numai ramurile superficiale ale plexului venos asiguræ diviziunea finæ øi controlul separat al sângerærii reziduale, prin intermediul aceloraøi fire de PDS 4x0 plasate iniflial øi læsate în asteptare. Când toate focarele de sângerare de la nivelul plexului Santorini sunt oprite, numai o zonæ micæ de la nivelul anterior al sfincterului striat ar trebui sæ fie vizibilæ. Dezvoltând planurile de disecflie inter sau intrafasciale de pe fafla anterioaræ a prostatei este asiguratæ izolarea completæ a sfincterului striat extern. Material and Methods. Despite the fact that open radical retropubic prostatectomy is now a standard procedure, there are still many surgical refinements (tips and tricks) that can make this operation a less challenging one. The optimal approach is still debatable. Many techiques regarding DVC control have been described. We believe that selective ligation of DVC is technically feasible and allows a precise apical dissection. Usually we use 2 or 3 sutures (PDS 4x0, UR-6 needle) that are passed just superficial in DVC. We let these sutures in place and use them as stay sutures for subsequent DVC hemostasis. This superficial ligation that pulls together only the superficial branches of the plexus allows for its sharp division and subsequent control of residual bleeding with the same initial PDS 4x0 sutures placed at a second step. When all bleeders from the Santorini’s plexus are controlled only a small area of the anterior aspect of the rhabdosphincter should be visible. Developing the interfascial or intrafascial planes of dissection on the anterolateral aspect of the prostate we obtain a complete dissection of the external striated sphincter. Rezultate. Aceastæ tehnicæ asiguræ o disecflie sub control vizual a sfincterului striat, minimalizând potenflialele injurii chirurgicale de la acest nivel. Timpul necesar acestor manevre fine este de 30 de minute. Pierderile medii de sânge sunt sub 100 ml. Tehnica de ligaturæ selectivæ a CVD scade timpul de vindecare postoperatorie øi de recuperare a continenflei. Concluzii. Disecflia apexului prostatei øi ligatura CVD sunt factori predictivi intraoperatori importanfli pentru rezultatele oncologice øi functionale ale intervenfliei. Pierderile de sânge, marginile pozitive apicale, continenfla øi potenfla dupæ prostatectomia radicalæ retropubicæ sunt în corelaflie strictæ cu disecflia de la nivelul apexului prostatic. 138 Revista Românæ de Urologie Results. This technique allows approaching the rhabdosphincter under direct vision and for this reason it limits possible damage during the dissection. The operative time of this careful dissection is less than 30 min. The median blood loss is less than 100 ml. We feel that the presented technique has an impact on the time to recovery of full continence. Conclusions. Apical dissection and control of the DVC are important intraoperative predictive factors for oncologic and functional outcomes. Blood loss, apical positive margins, continence and potency after open radical retropubic prostatectomy are in strict correlation with apical dissection. nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 S. Nicolescu, H.

Prostatectomia radicalæ laparoscopicæ asistatæ robotic a devenit o metodæ siguræ øi eficientæ în tratamentul chirurgical al cancerului de prostatæ datoritæ multiplelor avantaje oferite: vedere binocularæ 3D, reducerea tremorului, dexteritate øi control oferite de cele 7 grade de libertate ale braflelor robotului, comfortul oferit chirurgului. Introduction. Robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) has become a safe and efficient method for the surgical treatment of prostate cancer due to the multiple advantages it provides: binocular 3D vision, decreased trembling, dexterity and control confined in the 7 degrees of freedom of the arms of the robot, comfort for the surgeon. Material øi metodæ. În experienfla Centrului de Chirurgie Roboticæ Urologicæ Cluj Napoca avem 112 cazuri de prostatectomie radicalæ laparoscopicæ asistatæ cu robotul daVinci SI cu 4 brafle. În video film sunt prezentate particularitæflile tehnice ale principalilor timpi operatori. Am utilizat un abord transperitoneal cu 6 trocare (4 trocare pentru braflele robotului øi 2 pentru asistent). Primul pas implicæ incizarea peritoneului øi pætrunderea în spafliul prevezical Retzius. Urmeazæ prepararea øi incizarea fasciilor endopelvice, incizarea ligamentului pubo-prostatic, ligatura øi incizia complexului venos dorsal Santorini.

The space of Retzius is created by dividing the anterior peritoneum. After the incision of the endopelvic fascia, the dorsal venous complex (Santorini’s plexus) is isolated and ligated. After the bladder neck dissection the seminal vesicles and vas deferens are isolated and dissected. When it was possible we performed unilateral or bilateral nerve sparing. In the next surgical steps the lateral prostatic pedicles are isolated and dissected, the apical dissection is performed, the urethra is divided and the prostate can be completely isolated. The last surgical step consists in performing the urethrovesical anastomosis. We performed bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy in patients who had an invasion risk >6% according to nomograms. Results. We have performed bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy in 59 patients. The medium operating time was 170 minutes with a medium blood loss of 250 ml. We had 60 cases (53.3%) in pT2 stage with positive surgical margins in 12.1% and 52 cases (46.7%) in pT3 stage with positive surgical margins in 27.3%. The medium hospital stay was 7 days, and the Foley catheter was removed after 7 days. After 6 months post-operatory, 93.9% of patients had undetectable PSA levels; 88.9% of patients were using maximum one tampon/day. For sexually active patients prior to surgery, we were able to use unilateral nerve sparing technique in 27.6% and bilateral sparing in 49.4% of the cases; 47.9 % had normally erectile function after 6 months.

În urma unui numær de intervenflii aceastæ ipotezæ a fost confirmatæ, viziunea tridimensionalæ fiind de un real folos în orientarea în câmpul operator, lucru reflectat în manevræri mai precise ale instrumentarului øi timpi operatori mai scurfli. Laparoscopy is an alternative to the open approach in various urological procedures, with comparable functional and oncological results. Still, its application is limited because of the difficult learning curve and time required to perfect the technique. Initially reserved for robotically assisted interventions, three dimensional video systems have been recently introduced in conventional laparoscopy as well. Under the hypothesis that this technical advancement could shorten the learning curve and improve surgical parameters, we aimed to evaluate the 3D video system during laparoscopic radical prostatectomies, assessing its subjective impact on the main and assistant surgeons as well as the cost-benefit ratio. Following a number of interventions, three dimensional vision proved useful in offering improved operating field orientation, which in turn enabled increased precision in surgical instrument manipulation and shorter operative times. 140 Revista Românæ de Urologie nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 Robot-assisted radical cystectomy with intracorporeal ileal neobladder - initial experience Cristina Ivan, A.

Introduction and Objectives: Radical cystectomy is the standard treatment for infiltrating bladder cancer. The interest in minimally invasive techniques and robot-assisted radical cystectomy is growing in medical centers worldwide. In the video footage we are presenting the initial experience and the surgical technique used in robot-assisted radical cystectomy. Materiale øi Metode: În perioada ianuarie 2010 øi martie 2013 am practicat 10 cistectomii radicale asistate robotic pentru cancer vezical infiltrativ ( 9 bærbafli øi 1 femeie), dintre care 3 pacienfli au fost supuøi procedurii de reconstrucflie vezicalæ intracorporealæ. Am evaluat parametrii perioperatori ( timpul operator, pierderile de sânge, complicafliile), rezultatele oncologice (marginile pozitive, numærul de noduli limfatici) øi rezultatele funcflionale (continenflæ, erecflie, funcflie renalæ) la 6 luni postoperator. Material and Methods: Between January 2010 and March 2013, we performed 10 robotic radical cystectomies for infiltrating bladder tumour (9 men and 1 woman), out of which 3 patients had intracorporeal ileal neobladder. We assessed the perioperative parameters (operating time, blood loss, complications), oncological results (positive margins, number of lymph nodes) and functional results (continence, erection, kidney function) at 6 months postoperatively. Rezultate: Timpul operator pentru procedurile chirurgicale au fost de 725 de min, 550 de min, respectiv 490 de minute pentru fiecare dintre cele 3 cazuri. Pierderile de sânge au fost de 450 ml, 600 ml øi 350 ml. În toate cazurile, marginile de rezecflie au fost negative, iar nodulii limfatici excizafli au fost negativi. Tehnica de nerve-sparing a fost utilizatæ în cazul a doi pacienfli care au prezentat erecflie sub tratament cu inhibitori de 5 PDE, iar continenfla urinaræ a fost parflial prezervatæ. Evaluærile imagistice la 6 luni au arætat aspect normal al sistemului pielocaliceal øi lipsa de recurenflæ localæ sau la distanflæ. Results: The duration of surgical procedures for the 3 intracorporeal ileal neobladder procedures amounted to 725 minutes, 550 minutes and 490 minutes respectively, while blood loss added up to 450 ml, 600 ml and 350 ml respectively. There were no positive margins. We performed extended pelvic lymphadenectomy, all of them being negative. Daytime and night-time continence was partially preserved, as patients used one pad / day and one pad / night. Nerve sparing technique was used for patients 2 and 3, as they presented erections under PDE 5 inhibitors. Postoperative imaging evaluation at 6 months showed normal appearance of the pyelocaliceal system without local or distant recurrence. Concluzii: Cistectomia radicalæ asistatæ robotic cu neovezica intracorporealæ este o tehnicæ fezabilæ øi siguræ pentru tratamentul cancerului de vezicæ infiltrativ.

Introduction: The urinary incontinence following radical prostatectomy it’s a symptom that affects about 5% to 30% of the patients that underwent this procedure and has an important impact on their wellbeing. Generally, one year after the surgical procedure, less than 5% of the patients are still affected by this condition. Using an artificial sphincter may resolve this problem, but at a very high cost and morbidity. Next we will present the approaching method of the male incontinence following radical prostatectomy through a surgical technique of setting a transobturator suburethral sling. Material øi metodæ: Prezentæm cazul unui pacient diagnosticat cu adenocarcinom prostatic, la care s-a practicat prostatectomie radicalæ, cu evoluflie postintervenflionalæ simplæ, cu incontinenflæ urinaræ, în evoluflie de un an, iniflial severæ, ulterior moderatæ. Intervenflia a fost efectuatæ sub rahianestezie, cu pacientul în poziflie de litotomie. A fost montatæ o sondæ uretro-vezicalæ 18 Ch. S-a incizat pe linie medianæ perineul øi s-au disecat straturile anatomice. S-a evidenfliat muøchiul bulbo-spongios, care s-a incizat median, cu descoperirea uretrei bulbare. S-a montat transobturator bandeleta suburetralæ în maniera “in-out” øi s-a fixat apoi “in manta” subcutanat. Material and method: We are presenting the case of a patient diagnosed with adenocarcinoma which underwent radical prostatectomy with a favorable post operatory evolution, with urinary incontinence that was initially severe and evolved to moderate incontinence within a period of one year. The intervention was performed under spinal anesthesia, with the patient in a lithotomy position. An urethro-bladder probe 18CH was inserted. Post the median incision of the anterior perineum and the dissection of the anatomical layers up to the bulbospongiosus muscle, the bulbal urethra is exposed. At this point the suburethral sling, with its characteristic aspect, is transobturatory placed using an “in-out” method, being anchored in the subcutaneous tissue. Rezultate: Timpul operator a fost de 120 minute, færæ pierderi semnificative de sânge. Sonda uretrovezicalæ a fost suprimatæ la 3 zile post intervenflional. Postoperator imediat, la 3, 6 øi 12 luni, pacientul a fost perfect continent, atât în repaus, cât øi la efort. Controlul imagistic nu a evidenfliat rezidiu vezical, iar uroflowmetria a fost în limite normale. Concluzii: Bandeleta suburetralæ reprezintæ o opfliune în terapia incontinenflei urinare postprostatectomie cu o duratæ de spitalizare redusæ øi rezultate bune, al cærei dezavantaj îl reprezintæ costul ridicat al bandeletei specifice. Proba timpului este cea care va stabili dacæ montarea bandeletei suburetrale reprezintæ o alternativæ fiabilæ øi cu costuri mai reduse faflæ de sfincterul artificial. 144 Revista Românæ de Urologie Results: The surgical intervention lasted for 120 minutes, without any significant blood loss. The urethro-bladder probe was removed 3 days post surgery. Following surgery, at 3, 6 and 12 months the patient was perfectly continent, both while being at rest, as well as at effort. The imagistic exam did not show any vesical residual and the uroflowmetry was in clinical limits. Conclusions: The suburethral sling represents an option in the urinary continence following radical prostatectomy, with a reduced length of stay and good results, whose main inconvenience is the high cost of the characteristic sling. The test of time is the one to establish whether the insertion of the suburethral sling represents a reliable alternative with lower costs than the one of the artificial sphincter. nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 Vesico-Vaginal Fistula Repair assisted by the DaVinci SI HD Surgical Robot T.

Fistulele vezico-vaginale au frecvenfla cea mai înaltæ dintre toate celelalte tipuri de fistule dobândite localizate la nivelul tractului urinar. Alternativ tratamentului chirurgical clasic, existæ posibilitatea chirurgiei minim invazive, reprezentatæ de laparoscopie sau chirurgie roboticæ. Chirurgia asistatæ robotic este din ce în ce mai mult folositæ în domeniul urologiei, mai ales datoritæ faptului cæ înlesneøte considerabil abordul în regiunea pelvinæ, abord dificil de realizat în alte situaflii. Ne propunem sæ prezentæm, prin intermediul unui video-film, tehnica chirurgicalæ asistatæ robotic a curei operatorii a fistulei vezico-vaginale. Introduction. Vesico-vaginal fistulas are the most common acquired fistula of the urinary tract. Alternatively to the classic approach, the possibility of minimal-invasive surgery exists, such as laparoscopy or robot assisted surgery. In the field of Urology, robotic surgery is more and more used, especially because of the fact that it considerably facilitates the accession within the pelvic region, which is otherwise extremely difficult. Our purpose is to present through video means, the surgical technique used in the robotic assisted vesico-vaginal fistula repair. Material øi metodæ. S-a folosit Platforma chirurgicalæ roboticæ DaVinci SI. Folosind abordul transperitoneal, se realizeazæ incizia longitudinalæ a vezicii, disecflia între planul vezicii øi al vaginului, excizia traiectului fistulos, iar la final sutura separatæ a inciziilor cu interpoziflia de epiploon. Material and method. The robotic system DaVinci SI has been used. Using a transperitoneal approach, a longitudinal incision of the bladder is performed, followed by the dissection between the bladder and the vaginal wall. The fistula is then excised and finally, the separate suture of incisions, while interposing part of the epiploon is performed. Rezultate. Începând cu noiembrie 2009 øi pânæ în prezent au fost realizate 5 astfel de intervenflii. Durata medie a intervenfliei chirurgicale a fost de 240 minute. Sonda Foley a fost suprimatæ dupæ o duratæ medie de 14 zile. Cantitatea medie de sângerare a fost 100 ml, iar perioada medie de spitalizare a fost 15 zile. Tranzitul intestinal a fost reluat dupæ o perioadæ medie de 3 zile. Nu au fost înregistrate cazuri de recidivæ. Results. From November 2009 until the present day, 5 such repairs have been performed. The mean operating time was 240 minutes. The Foley Catheter has been extracted after a mean period of 14 days. Blood loss was on average 100 ml, and hospital discharge occurred on the 15th day. Bowel transit reoccurred after an average of 3 days. There were no recorded cases of relapse. Concluzii. Cura operatorie a fistulei vezico-vaginale folosind Sistemul DaVinci reprezintæ o alternativæ beneficæ atât pentru pacient, cât øi pentru chirurg. Chirurgia roboticæ oferæ o alternativæ favorabilæ chirurgiei laparoscopice prin sistemul de vizualizare tridimensional, care oferæ chirurgului o imagine în adâncime a spafliului operator. Instrumentele prevæzute cu articulaflii eliminæ conceptul de manevrare «în pârghie» necesar în situaflia laparoscopiei, înlesnind astfel manevrabilitatea øi aplatizând considerabil curba de învæflare. Conclusions. The robotic approach used for the repair of vesico-vaginal fistula is beneficial for the patient as well as for the surgeon. Robotic surgery offers a favorable alternative to laparascopic surgery through its three-dimensional vision system, which provides an in-depth view of the operating area. The joint-fitted instruments eliminate the <<lever>> system used in laparoscopic surgery, thus facilitating the handling and flattening the learning curve. nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 Revista Românæ de Urologie Video – Cancerul de prostatæ, Tumori vezicale V.4.8.

Geavlete Department of Urology, “Saint John” Emergency Clinical Hospital, Bucharest Introducere: Stenoza de tijæ calicealæ reprezintæ o patologie raræ, ce ridicæ o serie de probleme de tratament. Au fost evaluate particularitæflile øi eficienfla abordului ureteroscopic flexibil retrograd în aceastæ entitate patologicæ. Introduction: Caliceal infundibular stenosis represents a rare pathology which poses certain issues regarding treatment. We evaluate the characteristics and the efficacy of the flexible ureteroscopic retrograde approach in this pathology. Material øi metodæ: În perioada Ianuarie 2012-Ianuarie 2013 în Clinica de Urologie “Sf. Ioan” au fost diagnosticate øi tratate 5 cazuri cu stenozæ de tijæ calicealæ øi litiazæ supraiacentæ. În 4 cazuri a fost utilizat un ureteroscop flexibil Storz Flex-Xc, iar într-un caz unul Olympus URF-Vo. În toate cazurile a fost utilizat un laser Ho:YAG. Methods: Between January 2012 - January 2013 5 cases with caliceal infundibular stenosis and related lithiasis were diagnosed and treated in the Department of Urology of “St. John” Clinical Hospital. A flexible Storz Flex-Xc ureteroscop was used in 4 cases and an Olympus URF-Vo ureteroscop in 1 case. In all cases was used an Ho-YAG lithotripsy. Rezultate: Stenoza a fost localizatæ la nivelul tijei caliceale superioare (4 cazuri) sau mijlocie (1 caz). Trei cazuri au prezentat litiazæ coraliformæ tip D, un caz litiazæ multiplæ øi un caz litiazæ unicæ de 1 cm. Succesul intervenfliei a fost definit astfel: recalibrarea satisfæcætoare a zonei stenozate, litotriflia øi extragerea completæ a fragmentelor litiazice sau fragmente litiazice restante < 2 mm. Patru cazuri au necesitat o singuræ intervenflie în timp ce cazul cu litiazæ calicealæ multiplæ a impus douæ intervenflii. La tofli pacienflii s-a montat un stent JJ cu bucla superioaræ în calicele operat care a fost menflinut 4 sæptæmâni. Nu au fost înregistrate complicaflii majore. În cursul urmæririi tofli pacienflii au ræmas „stone-free”. Într-un caz a survenit restenozarea tijei caliceale la 4 luni de la intervenflie, impunând incizia iterativæ a acesteia. Results: In 4 cases stenosis was located in superior caliceal infundibulum and in one case in the middle caliceal infundibulum. A type D coraliform lithiasis was diagnosed in 3 cases, multiple calculi in one case and a single 1cm stone in one case. A successful intervention was defined by: a good recalibration of the stenosis, lithotripsy with complete removal of stone fragments or remaining stone fragments under 2mm diameter. A reintervention was needed only in the multiple calculi case. A double JJ stent with superior loop was placed in the respective caliceal infundibulum for 4 weeks in all cases. No major complications occurred. All patients remained stone-free during follow-up. Restenosis of the caliceal infundibulum occurred in one case after 4 months, requiring reintervention. Concluzii: Abordul ureteroscopic flexibil retrograd este o metodæ eficientæ de tratament a stenozei de tijæ calicealæ cu litiazæ supraiacentæ. Intervenflia este asociatæ cu morbiditate redusæ øi permite rezolvarea concomitentæ a ambelor patologii. Conclusion: Flexible ureteroscopic retrograde approach represents an efficient treatment option in caliceal infundibular stenosis with related lithiasis. The method is associated with low morbidity and allows solving both pathologies. 146 Revista Românæ de Urologie nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 E. Alexandrescu, R. Mulflescu, G. Niflæ, C. Moldoveanu, M.

Geavlete Department of Urology, “Saint John” Emergency Clinical Hospital, Bucharest Introducere: Nefrocalcinoza este o patologie raræ, cu un management chirurgical nestandardizat. Am urmærit descrierea particularitæflile abordului ureteroscopic flexibil retrograd la pacienfli cu aceastæ patologie. Introduction: Nephrocalcinosis is an uncommon pathology with a non-standardized surgical management. Our purpose was to describe the characteristics of the flexible retrograde ureteroscopic approach in patients with this condition. Material øi metodæ: În perioada Septembrie 2011-Ianuarie 2013 4 pacienfli cu nefrocalcinozæ au beneficiat de abord ureteroscopic flexibil retrograd. Trei cazuri s-au prezentat la camera de gardæ pentru dureri colicative lombare øi unul cu hematurie totalæ. Tofli pacienflii au prezentat urolculturi pozitive. În trei cazuri a fost utilizat un ureteroscop flexibil Olympus URF-Vo, iar într-un caz unul Storz Flex-Xc. În toate cazurile a fost utilizat un laser Ho:YAG. Method: Between September 2011 - January 2013, 4 patients with nephrocalcinosis were treated using flexible retrograde ureteroscopic approach. Three cases have presented in the emergency department for colic lumbar pain and one patient had total hematuria. All patients had positive urine cultures. In three cases we used an Olympus URF-Vo flexible ureteroscope and a Storz Flex-Xc was utilized for one patient. A Ho:YAG laser was applied in all four cases. Rezultate: Timpul operator mediu a fost de 85 min. (variind între 60 øi 132 min.). Un caz a necesitat o singuræ intervenflie, douæ cazuri douæ intervenflii øi într-un caz au fost necesare 3 proceduri. La tofli pacienflii au fost îndepærtafli în totalitate calculii ureterali, pielocaliceali øi, parflial, cei localizafli în cavitæfli pseudo-diverticulare din parenchimul renal. În urmærire, doi pacienfli au prezentat infecflii urinare recurente øi unul litiazæ ureteralæ obstructivæ recurentæ. Results: The average operating time was 85 minutes (with a variation between 60 and 132 min.). One case required a single intervention, two cases needed two interventions and three procedures were necessary for one patient. In all 4 cases, we removed entirely the ureteral and pyelocaliceal calculi and only partially the ones located in pseudo-diverticular cavities. During the follow-up, two patients had recurring urinary tract infections and one had a recurrent obstructive ureteral lithiasis. Concluzii: Managementul chirurgical al pacienflilor cu nefrocalcinozæ este dificil øi nestandardizat. Îndepærtarea unei cantitæfli cât mai mari din masa litiazicæ øi antibioterapia adecvatæ sunt esenfliale. Reducerea presiunii intraductale prin extragerea calculilor intraparenchimatoøi poate contribui la ameliorarea simptomatologiei dureroase, alæturi de îndepærtarea calculior obstructivi de la nivelul cæii urinare superioare. Conclusions: The surgical management in patients with nephrocalcinosis is difficult and non-standardized. Adequate antibiotherapy and removing as much as possible from the stone burden are essential. Reducing intraductal pressure by extraction of the calculi from the renal parenchyma can lead to the improvement of pain symptomatology together with the removal of obstructive calculi from the upper urinary tract. nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 Revista Românæ de Urologie Video – Litiazæ, Oncologie V.5.2.

Geavlete Department of Urology, “Saint John” Emergency Clinical Hospital, Bucharest Introducere: În ultima perioadæ, tehnologia minim invazivæ a schimbat radical modul de abordare øi de tratament al diverticulilor pielocaliceali. Scopul studiului a fost evaluarea eficienflei abordului endoscopic retrograd în tratamentul pacienflilor cu diverticuli pielocaliceali simptomatici. Introduction: Recently, the minimally invasive technologies radically changed the management and treatment of pyelocaliceal diverticula. Our goal was to evaluate the efficiency of retrograde endoscopic approach in the treatment of patients with symptomatic pyelocaliceal diverticula. Material øi metodæ: În perioada februarie 1993- ianuarie 2013, au fost evaluafli øi tratafli 18 pacienfli cu DP simptomatic (4 caliceale superioare, 7 caliceale medii øi 7 caliceale inferioare). Simptomatologia a inclus: durere lombaræ (14 din 18 cazuri), hematurie (3 din 18 cazuri) øi infecflii recurente de tract urinar (10 din 18 cazuri). 17 pacienfli au prezentat litiazæ intradiverticularæ, iar un pacient a prezentat “milk of calcium stone” intradiverticular. Ureteroscopia flexibilæ retrogradæ a fost utilizatæ în toate aceste cazuri. Methods: Between February 1993-January 2013, 18 patients with symptomatic PD (4 of the superior, 7 of the medium and 7 of the inferior calices) were evaluated and treated. Symptoms included: lumbar pain (14/18 cases), hematuria (3/18 cases) and recurrent urinary tract infections (10/18 cases). 17 patients had intradiverticular lithiasis and one patient presented intradiverticular milk of calcium stone. Retrograde flexible ureteroscopic approach was attempted in all these cases. Rezultate: În 15 cazuri (incluzând pacientul cu “milk of calcium stone”), s-a realizat abordul retrograd al istmului stenozat prin incizie øi litotriflia calculilor. Incizia cu laserul a fost efectuatæ în 9 cazuri, pentru restul fiind utilizatæ incizia electricæ. La 3 pacienfli cu diverticul inferior caliceal, imposibilitatea efectuærii unei incizii retrograde a impus efectuarea unui abord percutanat. Complicafliile postoperatorii au fost reprezentate de sângerare persistentæ (3 cazuri), febræ (un caz), durere lombaræ (3 cazuri). Evaluarea post-operatorie la 12 luni a demonstrat un pasaj larg între diverticulul pielocaliceal øi sistemul colector la 14 pacienfli. Într-un singur caz, recurenfla litiazicæ la 10 luni, a impus repetarea intervenfliei de manieræ retrogradæ. Results: In 15 cases (including the “milk of calcium stone” patient), retrograde approach of the narrow isthmus and stone removal were successful. Laser incision was performed in 9 cases and electric incision in the others. In the other 3 cases with inferior calyx diverticulum, failure of retrograde incision imposed percutaneous approach. Postoperative complications were represented by persistent bleeding (3 cases), fever (one case) and flank pain (3 cases). Postoperative evaluation at 12 months demonstrated a large passage between pyelocaliceal diverticulum and collecting system in 14 patients. In 1 case, stone recurrence at 10 months imposed repeated intervention in a retrograde fashion. Concluzii: Scopul tratamentului este reprezentat de crearea unei comunicæri non obstructive între diverticul øi sistemul pielocaliceal. Procedurile minim invazive ar putea fi utilizate ca primæ opfliune de tratament în aceastæ patologie. Conclusions: This treatment intends to provide a large non obstructive communication between the diverticula and the pyelocaliceal system. Minimally invasive procedures may be used as first treatment option in this pathology. 148 Revista Românæ de Urologie nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 Digital flexible ureteroscopy in lower caliceal stones I.

I followed the efficiency of retrograde flexible ureteroscopy in this pathology. Subjects and method: We assessed 158 patients diagnosed with lower caliceal stones having a maximum diameter of 2 cm. Interventions were performed under spinal anesthesia in most patients, only 5 of which were required general anesthesia. There were used flexible ureteroscopes Olympus URF-Vo, Storz Flex-Xc and Wolf Cobra. In 112 cases it was used Ho:YAG laser. Mean follow-up period was 3.2 months (range 1 to 14 months). Video – Litiazæ, Oncologie V.5.4. Ureteroscopia flexibilæ digitalæ în litiaza calicealæ inferioaræ Results: In 46 patients the stone was extracted as a unique piece from the lower calix using baskets. In 74 patients the stone was relocated in the renal pelvis or superior calix. In 38 patients the stone was fragmented in situ. In 91 patients was necessary to use JJ stenting. Patients were discharged 24 hours after surgery. Success rate was 91.1% after the first intervention and 98.1% after the second. In 3% of the cases, during followup, it was necessary to extract lithiasic fragments migrated to the ureter. Minor complications were observed in 17 cases. There were no late complications during follow-up. Conclusions: Flexible digital ureteroscopy, with Ho:YAG laser lithotripsy is a minimally invasive method for solving lower caliceal calculi. The intervention has a low complication rate and minimum duration of hospitalization and can be suggested in regime of day admission.

Material and method: During the last year, FURS has been employed on 292 pacients that suffered from renal lithiasis, 12 of which had renoureteral malformations : ectopic pelvic kidney (3 cases), horseshoe kidney (4 cases), pieloureteral duplication (5 cases). Storz and Olympus flexible ureteroscopes were used, along with 270 micron laser fibres and lithotripsy was performed using a Dornier Medilas 20 W Holmium laser. Intra-operative and post-operative complications were observed and documented, along with the stone free rates. Rezultate: Dimensiunea medie a calculilor a fost de 1,6 cm (între 1 øi 2,2 cm). Distribuflia calculilor a inclus: bazinet (2 cazuri), calice inferior (5 cazuri), calice superior (3 cazuri), litiaza calicealæ multiplæ (2 cazuri). Stentarea preoperatorie cu sonda JJ s-a impus la 3 cazuri. Douæ cazuri au asociat øi litazæ ureteralæ care a fost rezolvatæ într-un prim timp operator. Rata de stone free dupæ prima proceduræ a fost de 75% (9 cazuri), la 3 cazuri fiind necesare 2 proceduri. Complicafliile postoperatorii au fost reprezentate de: hematurie (2 cazuri), dureri lombare (2 cazuri), infecflie (1 caz). Results: The average calculi size was 1,6 cm (between 1 and 2,2 cm). Calculi distribution was as follows : basinet (2 cases), minor calyx (5 cases), major calyx (3 cases), multiple calyceal lithiasis (2 cases). Pre-operative „double J“ stenting was necessary in 3 cases. Two cases presented with associated ureteral lithiasis, which was resolved beforehand. The stone free rate after the first procedure was 75% (9 cases). The other 3 cases required a second FURS procedure. Post-operative complications: 2 cases of hematuria, 2 cases of lumbar pain and 1 case of infection. Concluzii: Tratamentul modern al litiazei renale la pacienflii cu malformaflii reno-ureterale poate reprezenta o provocare pentru urolog. URSF cu litotriflia laser Holmium reprezintæ o alternativæ eficientæ cu complicaflii minime. Conclusions: Modern treatment of renal lithiasis in patients with renoureteral malformations can be a challenge for the urologist. FURS and Holmium laser lithotripsy represents an efficient treatment alternative with minimal complications. 150 Revista Românæ de Urologie nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 A. Bumbu, M.C. Berechet, G.

Ioan”, Bucureøti Introducere: Ureteroscopia flexibilæ de diagnostic a devenit o proceduræ de rutinæ. Cu toate acestea identificarea caracteristicilor sugestive pentru malignitate a unor leziuni este dificilæ. În acest context, tehnologia NBI, introdusæ relativ recent, permite un diagnostic mai precis. Scopul studiului a fost reprezentat de evaluarea rolului ureteroscopiei flexibile cu NBI în diagnosticul tumorilor de cale urinaræ superioaræ. Material øi metodæ: În perioada Ianuarie 2010 - Septembrie 2012, în Clinica de Urologie a Spitalului Clinic de Urgenflæ ”Sf. Ioan” au fost efectuate 64 de ureteroscopii diagnostice în luminæ albæ øi NBI, împærflite în 2 grupe. Grupul I (50 de cazuri) a inclus pacienfli la care procedura a fost efectuatæ pentru defecte de umplere la nivelul cæii urinare superioare (20 de cazuri), hematurie unilateralæ (19 cazuri) sau citologie pozitivæ (11 cazuri). Cel de-al doilea grup a inclus 14 proceduri efectuate pentru urmærirea a 7 cazuri cu tumori uroteliate înalte tratate conservator. În toate cazurile a fost utilizat un ureteroscop Olympus URF-Vo. Improving the diagnosis of upper urinary tract tumors: NBI technology P. Geavlete, D. Georgescu, R. Mulflescu, V. Mirciulescu, B. Geavlete Department of Urology, “Saint John” Emergency Clinical Hospital, Bucharest Introduction: Diagnosis flexible ureteroscopy become a routine procedure. However, identifying characteristics suggestive for a malignant nature of a lesion and consequently the indication for biopsy is difficult. In this regard, the relatively new NBI technology allows a better detection. Our study aimed to determine the value of digital flexible ureteroscopy combined with NBI in upper urinary tract pathology diagnosis. Materials and Methods: Between January 2010- September 2012, 64 white light and NBI digital flexible ureteroscopic procedures were performed in the Department of Urology of “St. John” Emergency Clinical Hospital which were divided in two groups. Group I (50 cases) included patients in which the procedures were performed for: upper urinary tract filling defects (20 cases), unilateral hematuria (19 cases), abnormal urinary cytology (11 cases). The second group (14 procedures in 7 cases) included follow-up cases with conservative treated upper urinary tract urothelial tumors. An Olympus URF-Vo ureteroscope with NBI capability was used in all cases. Rezultate: Utilizarea tecii de acces ureteral a fost necesaræ în 10,9% din cazuri. Doar în 6,2% din cazuri s-a impus prestentarea datoritæ accesului ureteral dificil. În 2 cazuri, nu a fost posibilæ depæøirea infundibulului caliceal ingustat. În grupul I, ureteroscopia flexibilæ a permis identificarea leziunilor cæii urinare superioare în 98% din cazuri: tumori maligne la 14 pacienfli øi leziuni benigne la 7. În 4 cazuri tumorile au fost identificate doar prin NBI, în alte 3 cazuri, prin aceastæ tehnologie, fiind evidenfliate leziuni suplimentare. Într-un caz, biopsia efecuatæ sub NBI a fost benignæ. În cel deal II-lea grup, a fost identificatæ recurenfla tumoralæ la un caz, aceasta fiind vizibilæ atât în luminæ albæ cât øi în NBI (dupæ o urmærire medie de 12 luni, între 6 øi 30 de luni). Results: Ureteral access sheath was used in 10.9% of the cases. Only 6.2% of the cases were pre-stented due to difficult ureteral access. In 2 cases, the large tip of the ureteroscope prevented the access in thin caliceal infundibulum. In Group I, diagnosis flexible ureteroscopy identified upper urinary tract lesions in 98%: malignant tumors in 14 cases and benign lesions in 35 cases. The malignant lesions were identified by both white light and NBI in 7 cases. Only NBI detected the tumors in 4 cases, while in 3 cases it identified supplementary lesions. In 1 case an unnecessary biopsy was performed (biopsy taken under NBI proved to be benign). In Group II, tumoral recurrence was found in 1 of the 7 cases with conservative treated upper urinary tract tumors, visible both in white light and NBI (after a mean followup of 12 months, ranging between 6 and 30 months). Concluzii: Ureteroscopia flexibilæ în NBI reprezintæ o metodæ utilæ de diagnostic a patologiei de trat urinar superior, în special atunci când datele imagistice sunt echivoce øi sunt suspectate leziuni maligne. Conclusions: Flexible retrograde ureteroscopy with NBI capability is a useful diagnosis method in upper urinary tract pathology, especially when imaging data are equivocal and malignant lesions are suspected. nr. 2 / 2013 • vol 12 Revista Românæ de Urologie Video – Litiazæ, Oncologie V.5.12.
