Accidental cystectomy during laparoscopic excision of prostatic utricle cyst - a rare complication

ABSTRACT Prostatic utricle cyst is a rare congenital anomaly. Symptomatic cysts require treatment. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice, but is challenging due to close proximity to vas deferens, ejaculatory ducts, bladder, prostate, rectum and pelvic nerves. Complications include rectal injury, ureteral injury, impotence, infertility and faecal incontinence. We here report a rare complication in which bladder was accidentally removed during laparoscopic excision of prostatic utricle cyst. To best of our knowledge such a complication has never been reported previously. We also describe the possible cause of this accident and suggest ways to prevent this disastrous complication.</div

Retroperitoneal fibrosis-clinical presentation and outcome analysis from urological perspective

Purpose: To study clinical presentation, laboratory results, imaging findings and treatment options and outcomes of retroperito-neal fibrosis (RPF). To determine whether it follows the same natural course and response to treatment in the Asian population as in the Western world.Materials and Methods: Medical records of patients diagnosed with RPF on imaging and histopathology between February 2010 and April 2016 were reviewed.Results: Of the 21 patients analyzed, mean age at presentation was 50.81 years. The male to female ratio was 0.9:1. Pain was most common presenting complaint (95.23% cases), almost 85% cases were idiopathic and rests were postradiation induced. The me-dian creatinine level was 1.8 mg/dL. The mean erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) was 53.2 mm/h. Hydronephrosis was present in all patients and 47.6% had atrophic kidneys. Diffuse retroperitoneal mass was present in 61.1%. Ureterolysis with lateralization, omental wrapping or gonadal pedicle wrap was done in 17 cases. Two patients underwent uretero-ureterostomy. One patient un-derwent ileal replacement of ureter, and one ileal conduit. Eighteen patients received concurrent medical treatment, 11 were given tamoxifen, 2 steroids (Prednisolone), and five were given both. Of the 20 patients with follow-up, 70% had complete symptomatic relief; ESR improvement was seen in 77.8%. Follow-up ultrasound showed resolved and decreased hydronephrosis in 20% and 55% respectively. One patient had treatment failure and 17.65% had disease recurrence.Conclusions: RPF is a rare disease with varied presentation and outcomes. The male to female ratio may be equal in Asians and smoking could be lesser contributing factor. More Asian cohort studies are required to support same

Charged-particle multiplicity fluctuations in Pb–Pb collisions at √sNN = 2.76 TeV

Measurements of event-by-event fluctuations of charged-particle multiplicities in Pb–Pb collisions at sNN−−−√ = 2.76 TeV using the ALICE detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are presented in the pseudorapidity range |η|<0.8 and transverse momentum 0.2<pT<2.0 GeV/c. The amplitude of the fluctuations is expressed in terms of the variance normalized by the mean of the multiplicity distribution. The η and pT dependences of the fluctuations and their evolution with respect to collision centrality are investigated. The multiplicity fluctuations tend to decrease from peripheral to central collisions. The results are compared to those obtained from HIJING and AMPT Monte Carlo event generators as well as to experimental data at lower collision energies. Additionally, the measured multiplicity fluctuations are discussed in the context of the isothermal compressibility of the high-density strongly-interacting system formed in central Pb–Pb collisions
