Original Article Characteristics of Incidental Prostate Cancer After Radical Cystoprostatectomy for Bladder Carcinoma in Chinese Men
Int J Clin Exp Pathol 2016;9(3):3743-3750 www.ijcep.com /ISSN:1936-2625/IJCEP0021275 Original Article Characteristics of incidental prostate cancer after radical cystoprostatectomy for bladder carcinoma in Chinese men Guangxiang Liu1, Shiwei Zhang1, Jun Chen2, Xiaozhi Zhao1, Tieshi Liu1, Shuai Zhu1, Qing Zhang1, Weidong Gan1, Xiaogong Li1, Hongqian Guo1 Departments of 1Urology, 2Pathology, Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, The Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School, Institute of Urology Nanjing University, Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing, Jiangsu, China Received December 6, 2015; Accepted February 15, 2016; Epub March 1, 2016; Published March 15, 2016 Abstract: The purpose of this study was to analyze and characterize the clinicopathological features of incidental prostate cancer (PCa) after radical cystoprostatectomy (RCP) for bladder cancer in Chinese patients. We retrospec- tively reviewed 378 male patients who underwent RCP for muscle invasive bladder cancer at our center and identi- fied 47 men with incidental PCa. The clinicopathological data of incidental PCa after RCP were compared with those of clinical T1c PCas who had radical prostatectomy at our institute. Forty-seven of the 378 patients (12.4%) were diagnosed with PCa. The incidental PCa was well-differentiated in 68.1% of patients, compared to 33.5% of patients with T1c PCa, and was significantly more unifocal than the T1c PCas. When compared to T1c PCa, the incidental PCa was more likely to be organ-confined, have negative margins and be classified as clinically insignificant. After a mean 48-month follow-up, only one patient with incidental PCa was confirmed to have bone metastasis. While 9 patients with clinical T1c PCa were found to have tumor recurrence or metastasis and 5 patients had died caused by PCa. -

Ostomy surgery is the main treatment for bypassing or replacing intestinal or urinary organs that have become diseased or dysfunctional. “Ostomy” means opening. It refers to a number of ways that bodily wastes are re-routed from your body. A urostomy specifi cally redirects urine. -
What a Difference a Delay Makes! CT Urogram: a Pictorial Essay
Abdominal Radiology (2019) 44:3919–3934 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00261-019-02086-0 SPECIAL SECTION : UROTHELIAL DISEASE What a diference a delay makes! CT urogram: a pictorial essay Abraham Noorbakhsh1 · Lejla Aganovic1,2 · Noushin Vahdat1,2 · Soudabeh Fazeli1 · Romy Chung1 · Fiona Cassidy1,2 Published online: 18 June 2019 © This is a U.S. Government work and not under copyright protection in the US; foreign copyright protection may apply 2019 Abstract Purpose The aim of this pictorial essay is to demonstrate several cases where the diagnosis would have been difcult or impossible without the excretory phase image of CT urography. Methods A brief discussion of CT urography technique and dose reduction is followed by several cases illustrating the utility of CT urography. Results CT urography has become the primary imaging modality for evaluation of hematuria, as well as in the staging and surveillance of urinary tract malignancies. CT urography includes a non-contrast phase and contrast-enhanced nephrographic and excretory (delayed) phases. While the three phases add to the diagnostic ability of CT urography, it also adds potential patient radiation dose. Several techniques including automatic exposure control, iterative reconstruction algorithms, higher noise tolerance, and split-bolus have been successfully used to mitigate dose. The excretory phase is timed such that the excreted contrast opacifes the urinary collecting system and allows for greater detection of flling defects or other abnormali- ties. Sixteen cases illustrating the utility of excretory phase imaging are reviewed. Conclusions Excretory phase imaging of CT urography can be an essential tool for detecting and appropriately characterizing urinary tract malignancies, renal papillary and medullary abnormalities, CT radiolucent stones, congenital abnormalities, certain chronic infammatory conditions, and perinephric collections. -

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. -
