Complications following radical
cystectomy for bladder cancer in the elderly.
"This situation exists despite the fact that approximately 35% of patients treated by
cystectomy develop metastatic disease and many of these individuals die of their disease."
In view of the small number of tumours reported the outcome cannot at the moment be clearly documented with regard to tumour stage, grade, and option of treatment adopted but perhaps radical
cystectomy plus radiotherapy and chemotherapy may improve survival; whether or not this treatment option is overtreatment can only be ascertained pursuant to a multicentric trial in the future after a large number of cases have been reported.
The aim of current study was to evaluate the impact of laparoscopic ovarian
cystectomy for endometrioma on ovarian reserve as measured by serum AMH, compared to nonovarian pelvic surgery.
Rogers and her associates set out to determine the rate of dermoid cyst recurrence after
cystectomy in a pediatric/adolescent population; evaluate if the mode of surgery impacts the rate of recurrence; and develop a postsurgical follow-up protocol for dermoid cysts.
He said that he had become unwell since his
cystectomy operation 4 months prior to his attendance at A&E.
In this study we aimed to determine whether NLR, a marker of inflammatory response, and lymph node density calculated after surgery are prognostic factors in patients with bladder cancer undergoing radical
cystectomy.
Among the 16 patients who underwent
cystectomy in the study by Burkart et al, none exhibited any evidence of recurrence after a median follow-up of 3.7 years.
Tengion announced in March it is developing the Neo-Urinary Conduit, which is in a Phase 1 trial in bladder cancer patients and is intended to regenerate native-like urinary tissue for patients requiring a urinary diversion following bladder removal (
cystectomy).
The team, led by Dr Mohsin Al Mekresh, consultant, chief of urology and chair of surgery, performed a
cystectomy, removing the bladder, prostate, seminal vesicles, lower ureters and draining pelvic lymph nodes, and then reconstructing a new bladder.
Previously complicated gallstone disease was considered to be a contraindication for laparoscopic chole-
cystectomy. This initial reluctance has slowly evaporated as a result of increasing expertise.
If the treatment is delayed, severe complications including pancreatitis, pyogeniccholangitis, rupture and perforation of cyst and liver cirrhosis induced by repeated biliary tract infection and obstruction of biliary tract may appear, which can threaten lives of children.5
Cystectomy and Roux-en-Y hepatojejunostomy are the standard surgeries for the treatment of choledochal cyst currently.
