L’intervention de Bologna est une technique chirurgicale adaptée au traitement de l’incontinence urinaire d’effort associée à une cystocèle grade III en raison de l’excès de l’étoffe vaginale qui permet un prélèvement facile et large des frondes sans risque de rupture ni de nécrose. Lorsque le prolapsus génital est majeur (cystocèle et hystéroptose stade III), l’intervention de Bologna peut corriger à la fois l’anomalie génitale et urinaire. A travers cette mise au point nous exposons l’intérêt et la faisabilité de cette technique.

Retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF) is a rare fibro-inflammatory condition characterized by abnormal tissue growth around the abdominal aorta and iliac arteries, usually encasing adjacent structures like the ureters. Its etiology remains most of the time idiopathic, but secondary causes, including malignancies and medication use, account for a minority of cases. This review aims to consolidate recent advancements in understanding RPF, focusing on its pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment. Literature search was conducted using databases like PubMed, with emphasis on recent publications. Biomarkers such as elevated CRP levels and imaging techniques like CT scans and MRI play pivotal roles in diagnosis and monitoring. Medical management primarily revolves around corticosteroids, with adjunctive therapies like tamoxifen and immunosuppressants showing promise. Surgical intervention, typically ureterolysis, becomes necessary in cases of urinary tract obstruction. This review studies the importance of a comprehensive approach to RPF management, integrating medical and surgical modalities for optimal patient outcomes., Competing Interests: Declaration of conflicting interestsThe author(s) declared no potential conflicts of interest with respect to the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article.

Purpose: Day case or same-day discharge (SDD) pure laparoscopic or robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RP) has risen over the last few years with the aim of discharging patients within 24 h, reducing costs and length of stay, and facilitating return to active life. We perform a systematic review of literature to evaluate the feasibility of SDD RP., Methods: A systematic review search was performed and the following bibliographic databases were accessed: PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, and Embase. This was carried out in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines., Results: Based on the literature search of 509 articles, 12 (1378 patients) met the inclusion criteria (mean age: 63 years). All studies were unicentric except one. The mean SDD surgeries experience per centre was 66 cases .The means operative time and blood loss were 154 min and 126.5 ml, respectively. Mean SDD failure was 7.4%. Concomitant lymph node dissection was performed in 56.2%. The overall complication rate was 10.2% of cases; with a majority of Clavien grade I or II. Mean readmission rate after discharge was 5%. SDD generated cost reductions compared to inpatient surgery with variable differences according to the considered healthcare system., Conclusions: Day-case RP is a safe and feasible strategy in selected cases with multicentre proofs of concept. Its widespread use in routine practice needs further research due to biases in patient selection. Implementation of peri-operative pathways such as ERAS and prehabilitation improves patient adherence to SDD., (© 2022.

Aim: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the impact of preoperative urine culture and the infected nature of stones on the occurrence of postoperative urinary sepsis., Material and Methods: A prospective monocentric study included 29 patients operated on for urolithiasis between January and June 2018., Results: Postoperative urinary sepsis was observed in 4 patients (14%). Urinary colonization rate on preoperative CBU exam was 27.6% (8 of 29) while the rate of colonized stones was 31% (9 of 29). The occurrence of urinary sepsis was observed in 37.5% (3 of 8) of patients with urinary colonization, compared to 44.4% of patients with colonized stones (4 of 9). By comparing the bacteriological results observed during sepsis, the germs isolated in postoperative urine were the same found in the culture of stones. The chemical nature of the colonized stones was mainly calcium oxalate (monohydrate, dihydrate) P=0.02. There was a statistically significant correlation between the preoperative urine culture, the bacteriological culture of stones and the postoperative urinary sepsis (P=0.05, P=0.005) respectively., Conclusion: Our study demonstrated a strong association between the bacteriological culture of stones and postoperative urinary sepsis superior to preoperative urine culture. It makes it possible to anticipate the occurrence of sepsis in patients requiring many endoscopic treatments. However, several multicentric prospective series may prove necessary to validate these results., Level of Evidence: 3., (Copyright © 2020. Published by Elsevier Masson SAS.)

Purpose: Amongst the unanswered questions regarding prostate cancer (PCa), the optimal management of oligometastatic disease remains one of the major concerns of the scientific community. The very existence of this category is still subject to controversy. Aim of this systematic review is to summarize current available data on the most appropriate management of oligometastatic PCa., Evidence Acquisition: All relevant studies published in English up to November the 1st were identified through systematic searches in PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Google Scholar and Ovid database. A search was performed including the combination of following words: (prostate cancer) and (metastatic) and [(oligo) or (PSMA) or (cytoreductive) or (stereotaxic radiotherapy) or (prostatectomy)]. 3335 articles were reviewed. After title screening and abstract reading, 118 papers were considered for full reading, leaving a total of 36 articles for the systematic review., Evidence Synthesis: There is still no consensus on the definition of oligometastatic disease, nor on the imaging modalities used for its detection. While retrospective studies suggest an added benefit with the treatment the primitive tumor by cytoreductive prostatectomy (55% survival rate vs 21%, p < 0.001), prospective studies do not validate the same outcome. Nonetheless, most studies have reported a reduction in local complications after cytoreductive prostatectomy (< 10%) compared to the best systemic treatment (25-30%). Concerning radiotherapy, an overall survival benefit for patients with a low metastatic burden was found in STAMPEDE (HR 0.68, 95% CI 0.52-0.90; p = 0.007) and suggested in subgroup analysis of the HORRAD trial. Regarding the impact of metastases-directed therapy (MDT), the STOMP and ORIOLE trials suggested that metastatic disease control might improve androgen deprivation therapy-free survival (in STOMP: 21 vs 13 months for MDT vs standard of care). Nonetheless, the impact of MDT on long-term oncologic results remains unclear. Finally, oligometastatic disease appears to be a biologically different entity compared to high-burden metastatic disease. New findings on exosomes appear to make them intriguing biomarkers in the early phases of oligometastatic PCa., Conclusion: Oligometastatic PCa is today a poorly understood disease. The implementation of new imaging techniques as whole-body MRI and PSMA PET/CT has increased exponentially the number of oligometastatic patients detected. Data of available trials suggest a benefit from cytoreductive prostatectomy to reduce local complication, though its impact on survival remains unknown. Radiotherapy may be beneficial for patients with low-burden metastatic PCa, while MDT may delay the need for androgen deprivation therapy. Results from ongoing trials data are eagerly awaited to draw reliable recommendations.

Emphysematous pyelonephritis is a necrotic infection of the kidney characterized by the presence of gas within the renal parenchyma, the secretory cavities or the perirenal spaces. It is a severe condition that could be life-threatening. Patient's management remains controversial and is based either on surgery or on medical treatment. Percutaneous drainage can be also used for the treatment of these patients. We report 3 cases with EPN treated with only antibiotics. Patients' evolution was favorable. These results show that medical treatment could be sufficient.

Kedney matrix stones are a rare form of calculi. Flank pain and urinary tract infections (UTI) are the most common presentations of matrix calculi. The diagnosis is usually made at surgery, but some preoperative radiographic findings might be suggestive. Open surgery was the method of choice for treatment. However, combination of ureterorenoscopy and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) was found to be safe and effective. We report a rare case of renal and ureteral matrix stones that were diagnosed and treated by open surgery. We also describe its clinical, radiological and therapeutic features through a review of the literature., Competing Interests: The authors declare no conflict of interests.

Cavernous Hemangioma of the Bladder (CHB) is benign and rare lesions. Clinical presentation has no pathognomonic signs although gross painless hematuria is the most frequent complain. CHB is suspected by cystoscopy and radiologic findings and confirmed by pathologic examinations. Management is controversial due to the bleeding risk of this highly vascularized lesion. Partial cystectomy is the treatment of choice for surgically accessible lesions. However, it appears that small lesions could be treated using transurethral resection. Since CHB is a rare case, we report another case treated successfully with a partial cystectomy associated with an augmentation cystoplasy.

Leiomyoma is a benign smooth muscle tumor which is rarely found in urethra. It often appears in females during their reproductive age (from menarche to menopause); the mean age of their appearance is approximately 41 years. Less than 100 cases were reported in the literature. We hereby report a case of a 52-year-old White woman who presented with complaints of dysuria and urinary tract infection. The mass was completely removed by transvaginal excision with a rim of normal tissue. Histopathological studies confirmed the urethral leiomyoma. The patient remained asymptomatic and there was no evidence of recurrence in the followup.

Unlabelled: The aim of our study was to report the status of penile cancer sites in the urology department at the University Hospital of Rabat and evaluate long-term results of surgical treatment of this cancer., Patients and Methods: Between 1989 and 2015, 10 patients were treated for penile cancer. 10 cases were retrospectively reviewed and the following data were recorded: mode of revelation, seat, staging, TNM stage, treatment, evolution and survival. The mean age of patients was 58,1 years (48-81 years). All patients had squamous cell carcinoma of the penis. Six patients had a partial amputation of the penis, and three patients underwent total amputation. The median size of the lesion was 4.25 cm (1.5-8 cm). All tumors had a distal seat (gland- Furrow balanopreputial), 8 were localized and non-invasive (PT1 - PT2) and 2 had infiltrated the urethra (PT3). Four patients had lymph node localization. A single bilateral lymphadenectomy was performed and was positive only on one side, with a node <3 cm and no extracapsular extension. Two patients were referred for chemotherapy, a neoadjuvant referred to basic (Bleomycin - Methotrexate, Cisplatin) the other in a palliative goal. Median follow-up was 42 months (6 -72mois). Four patients died, one of which was presented immediately with metastatic mode. Six patients were alive at last node or local recurrence negative. Cancer of the penis seems rare in Morocco. His oncologic and functional outcomes (sexual and urinary) depend on the precocity of the treatment. The surgery of lymph node resection with lymphadenectomy remains the reference treatment.

The aim of vaginoplasty should be the creation without excessive morbidity of a neovagina that will be satisfying in appearance, function and feeling. The multitude of methods described in the literature indicates the fact that an ideal approach has not yet been found. In this paper the authors describe the technique for repairing vaginal stenosis by interposing between the vaginal walls, a skin flap pedicled removed using the Falandry technique at a high lip. We achieved a satisfactory result.

The partial substitution of the ureter using a pediculated double short segments of the ileum is a technique used to re-establish ureteral transit and preserve the renal unit, following the resection of extensive ureteral lesions. Standard surgical procedure for an ileoureteroplasty consists of isolating an ileal duct of equal or greater length than the ureteral defect and interposing it in the urinary tract in an isoperistaltic direction. Monti described a surgical technique that allows for the creation of catheterizable stomas in continent urinary diversions, using the Mitrofanoff principle. These passageways were created from one or several 2.5 cm long ileal sections by means of their detubulization and transverse retubulization.

Infiltration of the prostate is frequent in the course of leukaemia. It is usually asymptomatic or may present in the form of classical bladder neck obstruction. The diagnosis is generally established during investigation of the prostate by biopsy or during treatment by resection. The authors report two cases of prostatic involvement in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia.
