Robotic Management of Pheochromocytoma of the Vesicoureteric Junction

چکیده
Pheochromocytoma of the urinary bladder is rare, presenting usually with hypertension, hematuria and syncopal attacks. Such cases have usually been managed with open or laparoscopic partial cystectomy. We present a case of bladder pheochromocytoma that had unusual presenting symptoms, a paraneoplastic manifestation and was successfully managed with robotic technique.

Revised guidelines on management of antenatal hydronephrosis
Widespread antenatal screening has resulted in increased detection of anomalies of the kidneys and urinary tract. The present guidelines update the recommendations published in 2000. Antenatal hydronephrosis (ANH) is transient and resolves by the third trimester in almost one-half cases. The presence of oligohydramnios and additional renal or extrarenal anomalies suggests significant pathology....

Objective: To assess the incidence and outcome of cases of pelviureteric junction obstruction (PUJO) with associated vesicoureteric reflux (VUR) and/or vesicoureteric junction obstruction (VUJO). Methods: This retrospective analysis included cases of PUJO with associated VUJ anomalies managed between January 2000 and April 2013.

متن کاملPHEOCHROMOCYTOMA OF URINARY BLADDER: REPORT OF A CASE AND BRIEF REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE
A case of pheochromocytoma of the bladder is presented with a r eview of the literature. We discuss general management principles of bladder pheochromocytoma. Successful diagnosis and treatment of this lesion requires a high index of suspicion based upon the patient's symptom complex, allowing preoperative preparation prior to surgical treatment.
متن کاملConcurrent management of bilateral ureteropelvic junction obstruction in children using robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery.
INTRODUCTION Bilateral ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction occurs infrequently. When surgical management is deemed necessary, staged pyeloplasties traditionally have been recommended to minimize the morbidity associated with performing procedures concurrently. With the advent of robotic-assistance, concurrent surgical management can more readily be performed laparoscopically. In this repor...
