Most urologic surgeons prefer proximal urinary diversion as an initial step in the repair of intraoperative ureteral injuries but an early direct attack on the injured area is being attempted more often. Our report concerns 36 ureteral injuries in 24 patients during the least 5 years. In 19 patients 20 injuries were recognized and managed during postoperative convalescence. Repair consisted of ureteroneocystotomy in 8 patients, ureteroureterostomy in 6 and ureteral deligation in 4. Ureteral catheter manipulation alone was successful in 2 cases. Satisfactory ureteral repair was achieved in 23 patients. Definitive management was initiated upon diagnosis in all but 1 patient. We recommend an early, direct, aggressive approach to the injured area whenever possible.
A case is reported of extramammary Paget's disease of the scrotum, with metastases to the superficial femoral lymph nodes. Extramammary Paget's disease and its urological spectrum are reviewed, and the management is discussed. Treatment consisted of surgery and irradiation therapy. The patient appears to be free of disease, despite metastatic nodal involvement, 2 1/2 years after diagnosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
