ObjectiveTo systematically review the risk factors for intravesical recurrence (IVR) after radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) of upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC).MethodsPubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data databases were electronically searched to collect case-control studies about the risk factors for IVR after RNU of UTUC from inception to August 2017. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies, then meta-analysis was performed by RevMan 5.3 software.ResultsA total of 23 studies involving 8 614 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that the history of bladder cancer (HR=1.77, 95%CI 1.42 to 2.22, P<0.001), tumor stage (≥T2) (HR=1.41, 95%CI 1.09 to 1.82,P=0.009), ureteral tumor (HR=1.34, 95%CI 1.20 to 1.49, P<0.000 01), tumor multifocality (HR=1.51, 95%CI 1.34 to 1.69,P<0.001), lymphovascular invasion (HR=1.43, 95%CI 1.20 to 1.70,P<0.000 1), laparoscopic surgery (HR=1.52, 95%CI 1.08 to 2.15,P=0.02), positive surgical margins (HR=1.87, 95%CI 1.17 to 2.99, P=0.009), and preoperative ureteroscopy (HR=1.46, 95%CI 1.21 to 1.75, P<0.001) were the risk factors for IVR after RNU.ConclusionsCurrent evidence shows that the risk factors for IVR after RNU include history bladder cancer, tumor stage (≥T2), ureteral tumor, etc. Due to the limited quality of the included studies, more high quality studies are required to verify the above conclusion.
ObjectiveTo summarize the research progress of ureteral injury in oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF).MethodsThe literature about incidence, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment of ureteral injury complications in OLIF was reviewed.ResultsOLIF surgery poses a risk of ureteral injury because its surgical approach is anatomically adjacent to the left ureter. Ureteral injuries in OLIF are often insidious and have no specific clinical manifestations. CT urography is a common diagnostic method. The treatment of ureteral injury depends on a variety of factors such as the time of diagnosis, the location and degree of injury, and the treatment methods range from endoscopic treatment to replacement reconstruction.ConclusionSurgeons should pay attention not to damage the ureter and find the abnormality in time during OLIF. High vigilance of abnormalities is conducive to the early diagnosis of ureteral injury. Furthermore, it is important to be familiar with ureter anatomy and gentle operation to prevent ureteral injury.
ObjectiveTo discuss the clinical classification and treatment protocols of complete duplication of kidney and ureter in children. MethodsBetween March 2000 and February 2015, 106 children with complete duplication of kidney and ureter were treated, and the clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. Of them, there were 11 boys and 95 girls, aged from 1 month to 11 years (mean, 3.5 years); one side was involved in 88 cases and two sides in 18 cases. They were divided into 4 types according to image examinations and clinical presentations:14 patients who needed no special treatment were classified into the first type, 15 patients who underwent reconstruction into the second type, 74 patients who underwent segment removal of renal dysplasia and subtotal excision of abnormal duplicated ureter into the third type, and 3 patients who underwent removal of the whole affected kidney and subtotal excision of whole ureter into the forth type. ResultsThe patients were followed up 2 months to 14 years (median, 23 months). There was no deteriorating case in the first type. There was no complication such as leakage of urine, discomfort over the back and loins, ureterocele, reproductive tract infection, or hematuresis in the other types. The results of white blood cell count, renal function, and electrolyte presented no abnormality. One patient in the second type and 6 patients in the third type had ureteral stump syndrome; 1 patient in the second type and 3 patients in the third type had urinary tract infection; and 3 patients in the second type had mild hydronephrosis after operation. ConclusionIt can obtain good clinical outcome to choose individualized treatment according to clinical classification of complete duplication of kidney and ureter, which can reserve effective renal units as much as possible and improves the patients' quality of life.
Tissue engineering technology and stem cell research based on tissue engineering have made great progresses in overcoming the problems of tissue and organ damage, functional loss and surgical complications. Traditional method is to use biological substitute materials to repair tissues, while tissue engineering technology focuses on combining seed cells with biological materials to form biological tissues with the same structure and function as its own to repair tissue defects. The advantage is that such tissue engineering organs and tissues can solve the problem that the donor material is limited, and effectively reduce complications. The purpose of tissue engineering is to find suitable seed cells and biomaterials which can replace the biological function of original tissue and build suitable microenvironment in vivo. This paper mainly describes current technologies of tissue engineering in various fields of urology, and discusses the future trend of tissue engineering technology in the treatment of complex urinary diseases. The results of this study show that although there are relatively few clinical trials, the good results of the existing studies on animal models reveal a bright future of tissue engineering technology for the treatment of various urinary diseases.
Objective To systematically review the effectiveness and safety of flexible ureteroscope lithtripsy (fURL) and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in treating renal calculus. Methods Such databases as MEDLINE, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, CBM, VIP, and WanFang Data from January, 1990 to August, 2012 were searched to comprehensively collect the clinical trials that compared fURL and PCNL in treating renal calculus. Two reviewers independently screened studies according to exclusion and inclusion criteria, extracted data, and assessed the methodological quality. Then, meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.1 software. Results Eight non-randomized controlled trials involving 536 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that, PCNL was better than fURL in stone clearance (OR=0.26, 95%CI 0.15 to 0.46), but fURL was better than PCNL in postoperative pyrexia (OR=0.1, 95%CI 0.42 to 3.35), the incidence of blood transfusion (OR=0.17, 95%CI 0.03 to 1.00), and the duration of hospitalization (P=0.45, I2=0%). Conclusion Current evidence has proved that PCNL is better than fURL in decreasing stone clearance, fURL is better than PCNL in complication, the duration of hospitalization, and medical costs.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the safety and efficacy of flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy for patients with renal calculi of more than 2 cm in diameter. MethodsThe Clinical data of 37 patients with renal calculi of more than 2 cm in diameter treated with holmium laser lithotripsy through flexible ureteroscope between December 2012 and March 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. In this group, stone diameter was between 2.0 cm and 3.5 cm, including 22 cases of single stone and 15 cases of multiple stones. Preoperative ureteral stents were indwelt in all the patients for 1-2 weeks. After dilation of the ureter with F8/9.8 rigid ureteroscope, the ureteral access sheath for flexible ureteroscope was inserted to the target ureter followed by flexible ureteroscope. Stones were fragmentized by holmium laser and the power was not more than 30 W (1.0-1.5 J/15-20 Hz). ResultsThe success rate of ureteroscopic insertion was 100% (37/37). The operation time ranged from 40 to 185 minutes with a mean of 73 minutes. After the operation, one patient had sepsis, and was cured after positive anti-infection treatment. No other serious complications occurred. Four and 8 weeks after surgery, the free-stone rate was 73.0% (27/37) and 86.5% (32/37) respectively. ConclusionThe flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy is advantageous in less trauma, fewer complications, quick recovery and higher free-stone rate. It can be used to treat renal calculi of over 2 cm in diameter selectively.
Objective It is a thorny problem to reconstruct long ureteral defect in urinary surgery. To investigate the feasibil ity of intestinal sero-muscular segment with autograft of bladder mucosa as a replacement material for reconstructionof long ureteral defect. Methods Twelve adult Beagle dogs (weighing 6.5-9.3 kg and being male or female) were randomlydivided into 3 groups, each group including 4 dogs. In group A, lower segment of ureter was reconstructed by autograft of bladder mucosa to the intestinal sero-muscular segment; furthermore, the proximal and distal reconstructed ureter were anastomosed to the bladder and the upper ureter, respectively. In group B, upper segment of ureter was reconstructed by the same method as that of group A, the proximal and distal reconstructed ureter anastomosised with pelvic and lower ureter, respectively. In group C, whole ureter was reconstructed by the same method as that of group A, the proximal and distal reconstructed ureter were anastomosised with pelvic and bladder, respectively. Blood urea nitrogen, Cr2+, K+, Na+, Cl-, Ca2+ and carbon dioxide combining power were detected before operation, the general state, drainage volume, heal ing of wound, and compl ications were observed after operation. At 6 weeks, the blood biochemical indexes and intravenous urography (IVU) were detected, and the gross and histological observations of ureter were done. Results In group B, urine leakeage and infection occurred in 1 dog 2 days after operation because ureter stent prolapsed; other dogs had no complications. There was no significant difference in the biochemical indexes between before operation and 6 weeks after operation. IVU showed: in group A, hydronepherosis and ureterectasia occurred on the operation side of 1 dog; in group B, anastomotic stricture between the reconstructed ureter and lower ureter and hydronepherosis occurred in 1 dog; and in other dogs of all groups, renal function was good and the reconstructed ureter had peristalsis function. The histopathological observation showed that the reconstructed ureter had similar structure to normal ureterat 6 weeks in 3 groups; the inflammatory cells infiltrating of the reconstructed ureter was observed in 1 dog of groups A and C, respectively. Conclusion Reconstruction of ureter by intestinal sero-muscular segment with autograft of bladder mucosa has similar structure and function to the normal ureter. The results might provide an experimental basis for cl inical use.

Methods: Sixty infants who were to undergo Melamineinduced ureteral stone surgery were randomly divided into sevoflurane (Sev) group (n=30) and propofol (Pro) group (n=30). Observe and record the induction of anesthesia time, intubation time, awakening time, time to extubation, time to stay at PACU. Record adverse effects during induction of anesthesia and the awake period. In addition, recorded BP, HR, SPO2 of two groups before induction and intubation, after 3min、5min、15min、30min after intubation. Results: Induction time ［（63.2 ± 6.9） s］ in sevoflurane group was longer than propofol group ［(38.2±12.7） s］,but extubation time ［（11.9 ± 4.7） min］ was shorter than propofol group ［(15.6 ± 8.2） min］, there was significantly different between two groups (Plt;0.05). The incidence of restlessness in sevoflurane group 53.3% was significantly higher than propofol group 13.3% (Plt;001). In sevoflurane group the BP, HR before intubation compare with after intubation has no significant difference (Pgt;0.05). Compared with before induction,the BP, HR before induction, after intubation 3 min, 5 min, decreased significantly (Plt;0.05) in propofol group.when compared the same point with sevoflurane group, blood pressure decreased significantly (Plt;0.05). Conclusion: Both propofol and sevoflurane can be used effectively and safely for anesthesia of ureteral calculi stone surgery in pediatric. The hemodynamics is more stable but restlessness is more common in sevoflurane group.
