[Peritonitis following transrectal biopsy of the prostate].

OBJECTIVE: An uncommon complication of prostatic transrectal biopsy is described. METHODS/RESULTS: A case of peritonitis arising from a recto-peritoneal fistula after transrectal biopsy of the prostate is reported. The patient presented symptoms of peritonitis 15 days after undergoing ambulatory transrectal prostatic biopsy elsewhere. The imaging studies showed intraprostatic hypodense collection and peritonitis due to a recto-peritoneal fistula. The diagnosis was confirmed by laparotomy. The patient died 7 days postoperatively due to acute renal failure. CONCLUSION: Transrectal biopsy of the prostate is a simple procedure, but it is not free from serious complications.

[Traumatic unilateral testicular dislocation].

OBJECTIVE: To report a case of traumatic testicular dislocation, an unusual complication of pelvic trauma. METHODS/RESULTS: A case of traumatic testicular dislocation that had been diagnosed two months after the initial injury is presented. CT and color doppler US revealed a viable right testis displaced in the inguinal subcutaneous region. The testis was repositioned in the scrotum and orchidopexy was performed. Follow-up control evaluation at 6 months revealed a normal testis in the right hemiscrotum. CONCLUSIONS: Traumatic testicular dislocation is a rare complication that may be undetected at the time of the initial injury. Surgical reduction and repositioning achieve good results.

[Iatrogenic splenectomy in surgery of renal tumors].

A description of our experience with iatrogenic spleen lesions requiring splenectomy caused during surgery for a renal tumour. Out of a total 83 nephrectomies due to renal tumour performed in our Centre between 1988 and 1996, 46 were left and 4 of them (8.7%) involve splenectomy. Clinical, surgical, pathoanatomical and follow-up data of these 4 cases is analyzed. Anatomical relationship of the spleen with kidney and colon, as well as factors to consider during surgery to avoid splenic lesions are discussed.

[Retroperitoneal paraganglioma. Differential diagnosis with hypernephroma].

Paraganglioma are tumours that show embryological origin from the neural crest, and which derive from the paraganglia. They can be found in any location throughout the aorta and/or in association to the sympathetic chain. They can be either functioning or non-functioning based on hormone production. The authors present here a non-functioning retroperitoneal paraganglioma as an incidental finding in a 72-year old female patient. Pre-operative diagnosis was cystic hypernephroma, for which radical nephrectomy was performed. The extra-renal origin of the tumour was found subsequently on examining the piece. A discussion is included on the diagnosis, treatment, prognosis as well as a review of the literature.

[Malignant endometriosis].

Presentation of two case reports of severe and multiple urinary tract involvement by endometriosis due to the low frequency of this disorder. Although this is a benign condition, the term "malignant" endometriosis has been used because of the significant consequences it may have for the urinary tract, since it may compromise both excretory systems with a likely vital risk.
