Urinary Tract Calculi VI: Surgical Management

Procedures for Kidney StonesMedical intervention is necessary when kidney stones or renal calculi are too large to pass spontaneously (typically greater than 5 millimeters) when stones are accompanied by symptomatic infection (such as fever or pyelonephritis), when they impair kidney function, or when they cause persistent symptoms like severe pain, nausea, or urinary retention. Additionally, patients with only one kidney or those who cannot be treated with medical management also require...

Single-port transvesical enucleation of the prostate is a feasible surgical option for large-volume benign prostatic hyperplasia. This minimally invasive technique shows promise for effective treatment with good patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Laparoscopy

Background:

  • Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition, particularly in older men.
  • Large-volume BPH often requires surgical intervention.
  • Traditional surgical approaches can be invasive.

Observation:

  • A novel single-port device (r-Port) was utilized for transvesical enucleation.
  • The procedure involved percutaneous introduction of the device into the bladder.
  • Enucleation was performed laparoscopically with subsequent extraction of the adenoma.

Findings:

  • Single-port transvesical enucleation was technically feasible in all three patients with large-volume BPH.
  • Operative times varied, with blood loss ranging from 250 to 900 mL.

  • One patient experienced a recognized and repaired bowel injury; all patients achieved spontaneous voiding and continence post-operatively.

    • Implications:

    • Transvesical single-port laparoscopic simple prostatectomy is a viable surgical option.
    • Further research and experience are needed to establish its role in managing symptomatic BPH.
    • This technique may offer a less invasive alternative for large-volume BPH.
