We have considered the merits of the proposal and have voted unanimously to endorse the formation of a Department of Urology within the College of Medicine. Approval was contingent on reorganizing the application to conform to University Senate standards, to facilitate its flow at the University level. Thank you for the opportunity to be involved in the development of this important aspect of our educational mission.

  • Ureterolysis.Pdf
    Information about your procedure from The British Association of Urological Surgeons (BAUS) This leaflet contains evidence-based information about your proposed urological procedure. We have consulted specialist surgeons during its preparation, so that it represents best practice in UK urology. You should use it in addition to any advice already given to you. To view the online version of this leaflet, type the text below into your web browser: http://www.baus.org.uk/_userfiles/pages/files/Patients/Leaflets/Ureterolysis.pdf Key Points • Retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF), also known as chronic periaortitis, forms at the back of your abdominal (tummy) cavity and can block your ureters (the tubes that carry urine from your kidneys to your bladder) • Ureterolysis is used to free your ureters from the blockage caused by the RPF • In most patients, the procedure involves open surgery through a long incision in your abdomen (tummy) but it can sometimes be done by laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery • To prevent further obstruction, we wrap your ureters in omentum (the fatty envelope inside your abdomen) or in a synthetic material • The procedure is usually reserved for patients in whom medical treatment has been unsuccessful • Care of patients with RPF is multi-disciplinary with physicians, expert surgeons and other specialists collaborating in your care What does this procedure involve? Freeing your ureters from scar tissue at the back of your abdomen to relieve the blockage and restore urine drainage from your kidneys. To prevent recurrence, we wrap your ureters in omentum (a sheet of fatty tissue found in your abdomen); if your omentum has been removed or is too small to use, we may wrap the ureters in a synthetic material.

  • Adult Onset Nocturnal Enuresis
    0022-5347/01/1656-1914/0 ® THE JOURNAL OF UROLOGY Vol. 165, 1914–1917, June 2001 ® Copyright © 2001 by AMERICAN UROLOGICAL ASSOCIATION,INC. Printed in U.S.A. ADULT ONSET NOCTURNAL ENURESIS KYOKO SAKAMOTO AND JERRY G. BLAIVAS From the Department of Urology, Weil Medical College, Cornell University, Ithaca and Urocenter of New York, New York, New York, and Loyola University Medical Center, Maywood, Illinois ABSTRACT Purpose: We determined the etiology and prognostic significance of adult onset enuresis with absent daytime incontinence. Adult onset nocturnal enuresis unassociated with daytime incon- tinence is uncommon and there is a paucity of information about its incidence, significance, evaluation and treatment. We present a retrospective evaluation of this condition based on a database review of more than 3,000 consecutive patients referred for the evaluation of lower urinary tract symptoms. Materials and Methods: A database of 3,277 consecutive patients was searched for adult onset nocturnal enuresis. Patients with daytime incontinence were excluded from study. Evaluation consisted of history, physical examination, American Urological Association symptom score, voiding diary, uroflowmetry, estimation of post-void residual urine, video urodynamics, cystos- copy and radiographic evaluation of the upper tract. Results: Of 3,277 patients 8 (0.02%) had adult onset nocturnal enuresis without daytime incontinence as a primary complaint. Average American Urological Association symptom score was 12.6 (range 3 to 25), average maximum urine flow was 8.5 ml. per second (range 5 to 15) and average post-void residual urine volume was 350 ml. (range 50 to 489). All patients were men with severe prostatic or vesical neck obstruction as well as bilateral or unilateral hydronephrosis in 63%, a bladder diverticulum in 38%, vesicoureteral reflux in 50% and low bladder compliance in 50%.

  • Laparoscopic Ureterolysis Without Omentoplasty in the Management of the Uropathy Secondary to Idiopathic Retroperitoneal Fibrosi
    CASE REPORT Laparoscopic Ureterolysis without Omentoplasty in the Management of the Uropathy Secondary to Idiopathic Retroperitoneal Fibrosis Miguel A Bergero1, Patricio A Garcia Marchiñena2, Guillermo Gueglio3, Carlos David4, Fernando Dipatto5, Alberto Jurado6 ABSTRACT Introduction: Obstructive uropathy (OU) secondary to idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis (IRF) is an infrequent disease, and the standard treatment has not been established. However, ureterolysis with ureteral intraperitonealization is an effective therapeutic alternative. We present the successful management of OU secondary to an IRF by laparoscopic ureterolysis without omentoplasty (LUWO). Materials and methods: A retrospective descriptive study of 5 patients with IRF treated with LUWO was performed. Results: The average age was 60.4 years. The average creatinine was 3.86 mg/dL. There were no intraoperative or major postoperative complications. In a follow-up period of 31.2 months, all patients are asymptomatic, with an average creatinine level of 1.52 without dialysis requirement. No patients required corticosteroid therapy after surgery. Conclusion: Laparoscopic ureterolysis without omentoplasty is a safe and feasible option to treat the OU caused by IRF that provides good results in the medium-term follow-up, as we describe it in our series of cases.
