Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Advanced pelvic cancers frequently cause bilateral ureteral obstruction.
  • Ureteral obstruction can lead to significant renal complications if not managed.
  • Traditional surgical approaches may involve higher morbidity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of videoendosurgical cutaneous ureterostomy for bilateral ureteral obstruction.
  • To compare transperitoneal and retroperitoneal laparoscopic techniques for this procedure.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 10 patients with advanced pelvic cancers undergoing videoendosurgical cutaneous ureterostomy since January 1993.
  • Procedures included laparoscopic transperitoneal (LCU) and retroperitoneal (RLCU) techniques.
  • Data collected on operative time, complications, pain, hospital stay, and follow-up.

Main Results:

  • All 10 procedures were completed without intraoperative complications.
  • Monolateral retroperitoneal laparoscopic cutaneous ureterostomy (RLCU) took 35-42 minutes.
  • Postoperative pain was minimal, and hospital stay was 3-6 days.
  • Mean follow-up was 14.4 months.

Conclusions:

  • Videoendosurgical cutaneous ureterostomy is a safe and effective treatment for bilateral ureteral obstruction in advanced pelvic cancers.
  • Both laparoscopic transperitoneal and retroperitoneal approaches are feasible.
  • The procedure offers a minimally invasive option with favorable outcomes.
