Update on complications of synthetic suburethral slings
Gomes,Cristiano Mendes; Carvalho,Fabrício Leite; Bellucci,Carlos Henrique Suzuki; Hemerly,Thiago Souto; Baracat,Fábio; Bessa Jr.,Jose de; Srougi,MiguelABSTRACT Synthetic suburethral slings have become the most widely used technique for the surgical treatment of stress urinary incontinence. Despite its high success rates, significant complications have been reported including bleeding, urethral or bladder injury, urethral or bladder mesh erosion, intestinal perforation, vaginal extrusion of mesh, urinary tract infection, pain, urinary urgency and bladder outle...
Evaluation of the metabolism of glycosaminoglycans in patients with interstitia...
Lucon,Marcos; Martins,Joao Roberto; Leite,Katia Ramos Moreira; Soler,Roberto; Nader,Helena B.; Srougi,Miguel; Bruschini,HomeroIntroduction: Painful bladder syndrome/interstitial cystitis (PBS/IC) pathogenesis is not fully known, but evidence shows that glycosaminoglycans (GAG) of bladder urothelium can participate in its genesis. The loss of these compounds facilitates the contact of urine compounds with deeper portions of bladder wall triggering an inflammatory process. We investigated GAG in urine and tissue of PBS/IC and pure stres...
Can the learning of laparoscopic skills be quantified by the measurements of sk...
Sandy,Natascha Silva; Cruz,Jose Arnaldo Shiomi da; Passerotti,Carlo Camargo; Nguyen,Hiep; Reis,Sabrina Thalita dos; Gouveia,Eder MaxwellPurpose To ensure patient safety and surgical efficiency, much emphasis has been placed on the training of laparoscopic skills using virtual reality simulators. The purpose of this study was to determine whether laparoscopic skills can be objectively quantified by measuring specific skill parameters during training in a virtual reality surgical simulator (VRSS). Materials and Methods Ten medical students (with ...
Laparoscopic ureteropyeloanastomosis in the treatment of duplex system
Hisano,Marcelo; Denes,Francisco T.; Brito,Artur H.; Lucon,Marcos; Machado,Marcos G.; Bruschini,Homero; Srougi,MiguelPURPOSE: Duplex system is one of the most common anomalies of upper urinary tract. Anatomical and clinical presentation determine its treatment. Usually, the upper moiety has a poor function and requires resection, but when it is not significantly impaired, preservation is recommended. Laparoscopic reconstruction with upper pole preservation is presented as an alternative treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Four ...
Tratamento conservador de trauma renal grave após litotripsia extracorpórea por...
Marchini,Giovanni Scala; Lopes,Roberto Iglesias; Bruschini,Homero; Torricelli,Fábio; Lopes,Roberto NicomedesSubcapsular and perinephric hematomas are relatively common after shock-wave lithotripsy, but high-grade kidney injuries are extremely rare. We present the first case of a high-grade kidney injury after shock-wave lithotripsy managed conservatively. A 57-year-old white female patient with left 1.5cm superior ureteral calculi was submitted to shock-wave lithotripsy.
Learning curve for radical retropubic prostatectomy
Saito,Fernando J. A.; Dall'Oglio,Marcos F.; Ebaid,Gustavo X.; Bruschini,Homero; Chade,Daher C.; Srougi,MiguelPURPOSE: The learning curve is a period in which the surgical procedure is performed with difficulty and slowness, leading to a higher risk of complications and reduced effectiveness due the surgeon's inexperience. We sought to analyze the residents' learning curve for open radical prostatectomy (RP) in a training program. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a prospective study from June 2006 to January 2008 in...
Urinary incontinence following surgery for BPH: the role of aging on the incide...
Bruschini,Homero; Simonetti,Rogério; Antunes,Alberto A.; Srougi,MiguelPURPOSE: The reported incidence of urinary incontinence (UI) due to bladder dysfunction following surgery of BPH is variable. We described the causes of incontinence in a large group of men that developed this unsual complication and analyzed the influence of age on the prevalence of bladder dysfunction. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We wvaluated a total of 125 patients with urinary incontinence following surgical tre...

P. de; Srougi,MiguelPURPOSE: To report our experience with the use of the botulinum toxin-A (BoNT/A) formulations Botox® and Prosigne® in the treatment of neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO). MATERIALS AND METHODS: At a single institution, 45 consecutive patients with refractory urinary incontinence due to NDO received a single intradetrusor (excluding the trigone) treatment with botulinum toxin type A 200 or 300 units. Botox w...
