Cancer can significantly have ruining effects on very high of human beings, social, and economic condition. Bladder cancer has been reported as one of the most common cancers and the incidence rates of this cancer is increasing across the world. Cystectomy is a surgery to remove the urinary bladder. In the present study a part of the ileum is used instead of bladder. This study deals with mucos...

Hydatidosis is an endemic parasitosis in Tunisia. Primary ovarian localization is exceptional and doubtful. The treatment of choice is surgery consisting, when possible, in a radical laparotomic cystectomy. We report a case of a 32 year old woman affected by right ovarian hydatid cyst that has been treated by surgical cystectomy with good outcome. Etiologic factors, pathophysiology, clinical pr...

Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial tissue (glands and stroma) outside the uterus. About 1% of women with endometriosis have urinary tract implantations, and 84% of these cases involve the bladder. Abdominal partial cystectomy has been reported to treat urinary tract implantations, but laparoscopy has not previously been reported in Korea. We report a case of vesical endomet...

Pregnancies in patients after cystectomy with urinary diversion, especially after the construction of a continent urinary reservoir, are rare. Experience in this field is limited and mainly concerns patients with congenital disorders, neurogenic diseases or trauma. In this paper, we report the outcome of pregnancy, delivery and the postpartum period in a 27-year old woman with a Studer ileal or...

Migration of hernia mesh into the bladder is a rare complication of inguinal hernioplasty. We present the case of an 85-year-old man who complained of hematuria and fever some 20 years after right hernioplasty. Cystoscopy and computed tomography revealed mesh migration into the right anterior wall of the bladder. Laparoscopic partial cystectomy with excision of the migrated mesh was performed s...

Laparoscopic radical cystectomy is a complex surgical procedure that even in experienced groups involves a lengthy operative time. Consensus is general regarding the creation of an intestinal neobladder and performance of ureterointestinal anastomosis by means of a minilaparotomy. This would reduce operative time without compromising the advantages of the laparoscopic approach. In this article,...

OBJECTIVES To assess the feasibility, operative morbidity and oncological outcome of laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) radical cystectomy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Ten patients with clinical stage T1-T2 bladder cancer underwent a LESS radical cystectomy. The mean (SD) age of the patients was 64.8 (8.6) years and their mean body mass index was 25.9 (2.7) kg/m(2). The procedure was done via a sin...

PURPOSE We studied treatment delay, and the impact on disease specific survival and stage progression in a series of patients who had undergone cystectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS All 141 patients underwent radical cystectomy between 1990 and 1997 due to locally advanced bladder cancer. Treatment delay was defined as time from pathological confirmation of invasive disease to performance of cyst...

OBJECTIVE To determine the variables that affect quality of life of patients treated by radical cystectomy with ileal conduit. MATERIAL AND METHOD We analyzed quality of life using the EQ-5D-3L questionnaire. This questionnaire evaluates mobility, personal care, daily activities, pain/discomfort, anxiety/depression and a self-rating scale of the health condition. We compared the result with d...

Background: Radical cystectomy is associated with perioperative complication rates exceeding 50% in some series. Readmission rates are increasingly used as a surgical quality metric. White blood cell count is a crude surrogate for physiologic processes which may reflect postoperative complications leading to readmission. Objective: We assessed the association between final white blood cell coun...
