Suprapubic abscess formation was seen in 2 babies after attempted suprapubic bladder puncture. In both cases the baby was grossly dehydrated and gut contents were aspirated. Though this complication is rare, it should be remembered, as with all investigations, that a definite indication should be present before suprapubic aspiration is undertaken.

Robotic Assisted Laparoscopic Prostatectomy Performed after Previous Suprapubic Prostatectomy

Operative management of prostate cancer in a patient who has undergone previous open suprapubic simple prostatectomy poses a unique surgical challenge. Herein, we describe a case of intermediate risk prostate cancer in a man who had undergone simple prostatectomy ten years prior to presentation. The patient was found to have Gleason 7 prostate cancer on MRI fusion biopsy of the prostate for ele...

A modified technique of simple suprapubic prostatectomy: no bladder drainage and no bladder neck or hemostatic sutures.

INTRODUCTION Open prostatectomy is the conventional surgical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. The major early complication of this procedure is bleeding. We introduce a technique of prostatectomy in order to prevent significant bleeding, reduce morbidity, and shorten convalescence and hospital stay periods. MATERIALS AND METHODS We enrolled 202 consecutive patients diagnosed with be...

Pseudosarcomatous fibromyxoid tumor of the prostate revealed on suprapubic prostatectomy

We report a rare case of inflammatory pseudotumor of the prostate revealed on suprapubic prostatectomy. A 70-year-old man presented with nocturia, urgency and difficulty in voiding. The histopathological examination of the suprapubic adenomectomy specimen reported fibromyxoid pseudosarcomatous tumor (inflammatory prostatic pseudotumor). It is important to take this benign lesion under considera...
