Off-clamp Retroperitoneoscopic Tumour Evacuation for Sporadic Renal Angiomyolipomas with High RENAL Nephrometry Scores: A Novel Surgical Technique and Its Outcomes

BackgroundPartial nephrectomy or angioembolisation is commonly used for sporadic renal angiomyolipomas (RAMLs) with high RENAL scores, but there is a risk of reduced renal function, postoperative complications, and recurrence.ObjectiveTo describe a new technique for off-clamp laparoscopic evacuation of sporadic RAMLs with high RENAL scores that promotes maximal renal function maintenance and low postoperative complication and lesion recurrence rates.Design, setting, and participantsA retrospective cohort of patients undergoing off-clamp laparoscopic evacuation for sporadic RAMLs with RENAL scores ≥9 from January 2013 to June 2018 was included.Surgical procedureWe highlighted the curettage, suction, packing, and binding (CSPB) technique, a new off-clamp retroperitoneoscopic evacuation technique for sporadic RAMLs.MeasurementsDemographics, preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative outcomes were assessed.Results and limitationsA total of 141 cases were included. The median (interquartile range [IQR]) tumour size was 7 (6.2–8.2) cm. The median (IQR) RENAL score was 10 (9–11). The median (IQR) operative time was 80 (65–125) min, with a median (IQR) estimated blood loss of 130 (90–362.5) ml. Conversion to neither open surgery nor standard laparoscopy occurred. The warm ischaemia time was zero for all cases. Postoperatively, 13 minor complications (Clavien grade 1) were recorded. No blood transfusions were reported. The glomerular filtration rate did not change significantly from preoperative period to 12-mo follow-up. Recurrence did not occur at the median follow-up period of 48 (36–60) mo. The retrospective design and lack of a control group are limitations of this study.ConclusionsOff-clamp retroperitoneoscopic tumour evacuation using the CSPB technique is feasible, safe, and effective for treating complex sporadic RAMLs.Patient summaryWe report a curettage, suction, packing, and binding technique for off-clamp retroperitoneoscopic evacuation of sporadic renal angiomyolipomas that leads to complete lesion clearance, excellent renal function preservation, and minimal perioperative complications.

Treatment of Recurrent Hemarthrosis Following Total Knee Arthroplasty Using Surgical Interventions

BackgroudRecurrent hemarthrosis following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a rare complication. Its pathophysiology and standard treatments have not yet been established. In this study, we report 7 cases of recurrent hemarthrosis after TKA in which failure of the initial conservative treatment was followed by angiographic embolization; in 1 of the 7 cases, arthroscopic electrocauterization was also performed after treatment failure with selective embolization.MethodsFrom January 2015 to May 2018, 7 patients visited our hospital due to recurrent hemarthrosis after TKA. Their medical records and serologic test results were reviewed to check for the presence of any bleeding disorder and history of anticoagulant use. Implant malalignment and instability were checked using X-ray. In all cases, the conservative treatment failed, so interventional angiography with selective embolization was performed, which was also followed by arthroscopic electrocauterization if the outcome was unsatisfactory.ResultsThe interval between TKA and the onset of hemarthrosis ranged from 3 to 76 months (average, 34.1 months). There was no coagulopathy and instability. All patients underwent conservative treatment at an interval of 4.3 months and the rate of relapse was 3.1 on average. On the interventional angiography, 6 cases showed vascular blush, and 1 case had pulsatile bleeding. The average duration for interventional angiography was 90.9 minutes. The average length of follow-up was 38.8 months. Embolization was successfully performed in 4 cases. In 2 of 3 failed cases, the symptoms improved without further treatment. In the remaining 1 failed case, the patient had a relapse of hemarthrosis, so an arthroscopic procedure was performed, which led to identification of the suspicious bleeding point by using preoperative angiographic findings. Electrocauterization was performed and active bleeding was stopped. All cases with recurrent hemarthrosis achieved improvement.ConclusionsInterventional angiography was used to aid in the diagnosis of recurrent hemarthrosis, and therapeutic selective embolization provided satisfactory clinical results. Even if selective embolization fails, interventional angiography may be helpful for further surgical procedures because it reveals vascular blush of a bleeding site. Therefore, interventional angiography and selective embolization should be considered to be a useful treatment for recurrent hemarthrosis after TKA.     

The role of Ureaplasma parvum serovar-3 or serovar-14 infection in female patients with chronic micturition urethral pain and recurrent microscopic hematuria

BackgroundUreaplasma parvum (UP) is commonly isolated in the genitor-urinary tract and may cause various clinical features, including microscopic hematuria (MH). Some UP serovars are more commonly related with specific urogenital disease, but the evidences have been conflicting. This study primarily aimed to research the possible associations between specific UP serotypes and genito-urinary pathogenicity in female patients showing MH with/without chronic micturition urethral pain (CMP).MethodsThis study retrospectively reviewed 276 female patients having MH with/without CMP, who visited health screening center or female infertility clinic. All patients underwent multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests with vaginal and urine samples to evaluate the infection rate and serotypes of UP. The antimicrobial susceptibility of UP and the predictors of CMP among UP infected patients were also analyzed. All patients were followed up at least for 6-months.ResultsForty-nine patients (17.8%) showed urinary UP infection. Urinary UP serotyping showed the prevalence of seorvar-1, -3, -6 and -14 were 24.5%, 30.6%, 18.4% and 26.5%, respectively. 79.6% of the urinary UP positive patients accompanied vaginal UP infection. 22 patients of the cohort (8.0%) had CMP whereas serovars-3 and -14 accompanied CMP in 54.5% and 41.0% cases, respectively. No serovars-6 infection case had CMP. 26.4% of the cohort were infertile whereas 10.9% of these infertile patients were positive for urinary tract infection with UP serotype-3 or -14. Doxycycline, josamycin and pristinamycin were the most active antibiotics with the lowest rate of resistance (0.0%) for treating UP. At 1-month post-initial treatment with doxycycline, all UP serotypes were eradicated and no patient complained of urethral discomfort. However, simultaneous urinary and vaginal reinfection of serovar-3 (5 cases) and serovar-5 (1 case) were confirmed at 3-months post-initial doxycycline therapy. The logistic regression analyses revealed that serovars-3 [hazard ratio (HR) 1.354, P value 0.018] and -14 (HR 1.103, P value 0.046) were significantly associated with CMP in female patients having MH.ConclusionsUP serovars-3 and -14 infections could be associated with CMP in female patients having MH. Doxycycline, josamycin and pristinamycin were effective for treating UP. Serovar-3 showed higher reinfection rate than other serotypes after antibiotics treatment.
