Complications following urethral reconstructive surgery: a six year experience
International braz j urol : official journal of the Brazilian Society of Urology · 2008
We present a single institutional experience over 6 years of intra and postoperative complications following urethral reconstructive surgery, and the impact of these complications on overall results. From June 2000 through May 2006, 153 consecutive...
Risk factors and management of urine leaks after partial nephrectomy
The Journal of urology · 2008
As nephron sparing surgery is used more frequently for select renal tumors, the incidence of urine leaks will likely increase. To our knowledge the risk factors of and management strategies for urine leaks have not been studied. We report our experience...
Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation-induced perinephric hematoma with acute renal failure in a solitary kidney
Journal of endourology · 2008
Iatrogenic occurrences (including radiologically guided renal biopsy, shockwave lithotripsy, and minimally invasive ablative procedures) of subcapsular hematoma that lead to acute renal failure are rare but serious. The advancement of minimally invasive...

Safety and efficacy of laparoscopic radical nephrectomy with manual specimen morcellation for stage cT1 renal-cell carcinoma
Journal of endourology · 2008
Specimen morcellation during laparoscopic radical nephrectomy for renal-cell carcinoma is controversial, and supporting literature remains sparse. We seek to evaluate the safety and efficacy of morcellation for specimen removal after laparoscopic radical...
Urethral reconstruction in patients with neurogenic bladder dysfunction
The Journal of urology · 2008
There is limited literature examining urethral reconstruction in patients with neurogenic bladder dysfunction. We describe our experience of urethral reconstruction in men with concurrent neurogenic bladder. A prospectively maintained database of all...
Thoracic complications of urologic laparoscopy: correlation between radiographic findings and clinical manifestations
Journal of endourology · 2008
The usefulness of plain film chest radiography (CXR) in evaluation for thoracic complications after laparoscopic urologic procedures is uncertain. Our objectives were to examine the association between radiographic findings and clinical manifestations of...
