Methods We conducted a population-based matched cohort study utilizing data sourced from the Military Health System Data Repository (a large military-based database that includes benefciaries of the TRICARE program). This included men aged 40–64 years with no prior history of urolithiasis who received continuous TRT for a diagnosis of hypogonadism between 2006 and 2014. Eligible individuals were matched using both demographics and comorbidities to TRICARE enrollees who did not receive TRT. The primary outcome was 2-year absolute risk of a stone-related event, comparing men on TRT to non-TRT controls. Results There were 26,586 pairs in our cohort. Four hundred and eighty-two stone-related events were observed at 2 years in the non-TRT group versus 659 in the TRT group. Log-rank comparisons showed this to be a statistically signifcant dif- ference in events between the two groups (p < 0.0001). This diference was observed for topical (p < 0.0001) and injection (p = 0.004) therapy-type subgroups, though not for pellet (p = 0.27).

    Suprapubic Cystostomy: Urinary Tract Infection and other short term Complications A.T. Hasan,Q. Fasihuddin,M.A. Sheikh ( Department of Urological Surgery and Transplantation, Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Center, Karachi. ) Abstract Aims: To evaluate the frequency of urinary tract infection in patients with suprapubic cystostomy and other complications of the procedure within 30 days of placement. Methods: Patients characteristics, indication and types of cystostomy and short term (within 30 days); complications were analyzed in 91 patients. Urine analysis and culture was done in all patients to exclude those with urinary tract infection. After 15 and 30 days of the procedure, urine analysis and culture was repeated to evaluate the frequency of urinary tract infection. The prevalence of symptomatic bacteriuria with its organisms was assessed. Antibiotics were given to the postoperative and symptomatic patients and the relationship of antibiotics on the prevention of urinary tract infection was determined. Results: Of the 91 cases 88 were males and 3 females. The mean age was 40.52 ± 18.95 with a range of 15 to 82 years.Obstructive uropathy of lower urinary tract.was present in 81% cases and 17(18.6%) had history of trauma to urethra. All these cases had per-urethral bleeding on examination while x-ray urethrogram showed grade H or grade III injury of urethra. Eighty two of the procedures were performed per-cutaneously and 7 were converted to open cystostomies due to failure of per-cutaneous approach. Nine patients had exploratory laparotomy. Duration of catheterization was the leading risk factor for urinary tract infection found in 24.1% at 15 days and 97.8% at 30 days.

    18 Complications of Ureteroscopic Approaches, Including Incisions Farjaad M. Siddiq, MD and Raymond J. Leveillee, MD CONTENTS INTRODUCTION PREPARATION FOR URETEROSCOPY URETERAL ACCESS DILATION OF THE URETERAL ORIFICE: IS IT NECESSARY? COMPLICATIONS OF URETEROSCOPY URETERAL STENTS: ARE THEY NECESSARY? POSTOPERATIVE IMAGING COMPLICATIONS OF URETEROSCOPIC MANAGEMENT OF UPPER TRACT TCC COMPLICATIONS OF URETEROSCOPIC INCISIONS CONCLUSION REFERENCES SUMMARY Ureteroscopy has progressed from cystoscopic examination of a dilated ureter in a child in 1929 and the initial use of rigid ureteroscopes in the 1980s, to its current state of small caliber semirigid and flexible instruments. In this chapter the authors review complications of ureteroscopy including those associated with incisional techniques where one would anticipate a higher incidence of complications. They review the his- tory and development of modern ureteroscopes, focusing on engineering advances. Clinical points made include proper patient selection and preparation; proper use of dilators, wires, and ureteral access sheaths; and the incidence, identification, and man- agement of complications associated with ureterorenoscopy (both intraopertively and postoperatively). Key Words: Ureteroscopy; calculi; urinary stones; stricture or ureter; urothelial carcinoma; surgical complications. From: Advanced Endourology: The Complete Clinical Guide Edited by: S. Y.

  • Urinary Diversion: Ileovesicostomy/Ileal Loop/Colon Loop
    Urinary Diversion: Ileovesicostomy/Ileal Loop/Colon Loop Why do I need this surgery? A urinary diversion is a surgical procedure that is performed to allow urine to safely pass from the kidneys into a pouch on a person’s abdomen (belly). It is performed for people who have otherwise untreatable urinary incontinence (leakage) chronic urinary infections, or dangerous bladder conditions that may damage kidney function. The goal of these procedures is to improve a person’s long term health and quality of life. What is a stoma? A stoma is the end of the urinary diversion that protrudes through your abdominal wall. The stoma is red, moist, soft, and has no nerve endings. A pouch is placed around the stoma to collect the urine. You will meet with an enterostomal therapy nurse prior to surgery to find the optimal location for the stoma on your abdomen, provide education regarding stoma and skin management, and show you samples of the ostomy pouches that may be used over your stoma after surgery. What is done during the surgery? A urinary diversion surgery is performed in the operating room under general anesthesia (you are not awake for the procedure). The procedure can take 3 to 5 hours, depending on the complexity. Types of urinary diversions: 1. Ileovesicostomy. Department of Urology 734-936-7030 - 1 - In this procedure, the surgeon isolates a 15cm segment of intestine (ileum) from the GI tract. The bowels are then reconnected so that you will still have regular bowel movements, if you had regular movements before. A small hole is made in the bladder and the isolated segment is then sewn to the bladder.
