Percutaneous nephrostomy is relatively safe for temporary urinary diversion. However, colonic perforation due to percutaneous nephrostomy can happen with an incidence of 0.2% as reported in the English literatures. To our knowledge, this is the first case being reported as a complication following treatment for traumatic renal injury. This paper is to share our treatment approach which differs from the usual approach according to existing literatures. We report on a young man who sustained grade IV renal injury due to blunt trauma and was managed conservatively. The treatment of traumatic renal injury via urinary diversion was complicated with an iatrogenic colonic perforation. The management and subsequent treatment of this patient is discussed in this case report.

Purpose: To evaluate changes in quality of life (QoL) in patients with neurogenic bladder treated with clean intermittent catheterization (CIC), who changed from a multiple use catheter (MUC) to single use catheter (SUC). Methods: The Modified Intermittent Self-Catheterization Questionnaire (mISC-Q) was used to determine potential changes in patients' QoL as a result of switching from MUC to SUC. The mISC-Q consists of questions within four categories: ease of use, convenience, discreetness, and symptomatic benefit. Answers were graded as Strongly agree (+2), Agree (+1), Not sure (0), Disagree (-1), and Strongly disagree (-2). Overall patient QoL, as well as by sex, disease (presence of augmentation cystoplasty), and catheterization route (via urethra or urinary diversion), were analyzed. Results: Thirty-eight patients (21M:17F; mean age: $21.7{\pm}5.3y$) submitted questionnaires. For ease of use, SUC was significantly better than MUC (score: 0.364, P=0.002) in all patients. Patients with catheterization via the urethra showed significant favor for SUC in ease of use (score: 0.512, P<0.001) and convenience (score: 0.714, P=0.011), but patients with catheterization via the abdominal stoma of urinary diversion gave negative scores in all categories, though no categories were significant. Conclusion: This study suggested that changing from MUC to SUC may lead to improvements in QoL, especially regarding ease of use. This benefit was clearly found in patients with catheterization via urethra rather than abdominal stoma of urinary diversion.

Six patients (5 dogs, 1 cat) were referred with the complications of urinary tract injuries. Clinical signs were vomiting (4/6), oliguria (2/6) and anuria (3/6). Four females had been spayed, 1 male had cryptorchid orchiectomy and 1 male had been operated for removing calculi in the urethra. Both preoperative and intraoperative investigation were performed and they were confirmed as iatrogenic injuries in the urinary tract during surgery. Depending on the condition of the complications, urethral anastomosis, unilateral nephrectomy, ureteroneocystostomy, colonic urinary diversion, ureterourethral anastomosis, cystostomy and suture of the defect region were performed separately in individual cases. Postoperative observation revealed 50% (3 cases) survival rate of the patients.

Rectal injury is seen in 1-2% of all pelvic fractures, and lower urinary tract injury occurs in up to 7%. These injuries are rare, but if missed, can lead to a severe septic response. Rectal injury may be suspected by the presence of gross blood on digital rectal examination. However, this classic sign is not always present on physical examination. If an Antero-Posterior Compression type pelvic fracture is seen, we should consider the possibility of rectal and lower urinary tract injury. It is important to define the anatomic location of the rectal injury as it relates to the peritoneal reflection. Trauma to the intraperitoneal rectum should be managed as a colonic injury. Extraperitoneal rectal injury should be managed with fecal diversion regardless of primary repair. We present the case of a 46-year-old man who was referred to our hospital following a major trauma to the pelvis in a pedestrian accident.

Percutaneous/intrathecal chemical neurolysis of sacral nerve with 12% phenol was performed on 13 cases of hyperreflexic bladder to augment bladder capacity and to reduce bladder pressure. Urodynamic evaluations were done before and after chemical neurolysis. Mean bladder capacity increased significantly after chemical neurolysis (from 171.4 ml to 375 ml). No significant changes in bowel or injection sites were noted. The result suggests that the chemolysis of sacral nerve was available modality for hyperreflexic bladder patients, who did not respond to anticholinergic medication, before decide the more aggressive alternatives such as augmentation cystoplasty or urinary diversion.

요흉은 후복막강으로 누출된 소변에 의해 발생되며, 1968년 Correie등이 처음으로 보고하였다. 요흉의 주요 발생 기전은 주로 요로의 페쇄 혹은 외상 등에 의해 일차적으로 후복막강에 요종이 형성되고 이차적으로 흥강에 소변이 축적된다고 알려져 있다. 그 외에 후복막강의 염증, 악성 종양, 신 이식, 신 생검 등에 의해서도 요흉이 발생할 수 있다. 요흉은 발생 빈도가 적어 진단이 늦어질 수 있으나 일단 진단이 되면 요로 개통술로 치료할 수 있다. 저자들은 신우요관 접합부의 둔상으로 인해 발생한 후복막강 요종과 요흉에 대한 치험 1예를 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Bilateral renal obstruction is a rare critical condition, requiring a prompt diagnostic approach and treatment to restore the renal function. The most commonly observed obstructive uropathy in children is congenital malformation, such as posterior urethral valves and bilateral ureteropelvic junction obstruction. Malignant pelvic masses obstructing the ureter are widely reported in adults but are rarely observed in children. The treatment of ureteral obstruction related to pelvic malignancy is a therapeutic challenge with a median survival duration of 3-7 months in adults; however, pediatric patients with pelvic malignancy leading to ureteral obstruction had better outcomes, with a reported 5-year mortality rate of 20%, than the adult patients. Here, we report a rare case of bilateral ureteral obstruction associated with pelvic rhabdomyosarcoma presenting with acute kidney injury treated by ureteral diversion with double J stent, and concommittent emergency hemodialysis, leading to restoration of good renal function. We suggest that bilateral ureteral obstruction should be released as soon as possible using surgical or interventional approach to minimize the obstruction period, and subsequential chemotherapy may contribute to improvement of survival and recovery of renal function.

목적 근치적 방광적출 후 회장 신방광형성술을 시행 받은 방광암 환자는 수술 후 혈뇨를 보일 수 있는데, 이는 종양 재발에 대한 불안을 유발할 수 있다. 그러나 종양 재발뿐 아니라 호두까기 증후군이 수술 후 혈뇨의 원인이 될 수 있으며, 이는 빈번한 증후군일 수 있음을 증명하려고 한다. 대상과 방법 2011년부터 2016년까지 근치적방광적출 후 회장 신방광형성술을 시행 받은 255명의 방광암 환자를 대상으로 조영증강 복부골반 컴퓨터단층촬영과 소변검사 소견을 후향적으로 분석하였다. 컴퓨터단층촬영에서 호두까기 증후군 소견의 유무는 좌신정맥 흐름 패턴을 평가하여 판단하였다. 소변분석에서는 총 소변검사에서 혈뇨가 양성인 비율에 따라 환자를 분류하였다. 결과 컴퓨터단층촬영에서 호두까기 증후군 소견은 135명의 환자 중 31.9%에서 나타났다. 혈뇨 양성 그룹에서는 호두까기 증후군의 소견이 없는 환자보다 있는 환자가 26% 더 많았다. 결론 호두까기 증후군의 소견은 수술 후 방광암 환자에게 빈번하였으며, 호두까기 증후군 소견과 혈뇨 사이에는 유의미한 상관관계가 있었다. 또한 호두까기 증후군 소견의 유병률은 수술 후 요로의 종양 재발률보다 높았다.

To determine the relationship between comorbidity and outcome after radical cystectomy in Chinese patients by using the Adult Comorbidity Evaluation (ACE)-27 index. Two-hundred-and-forty-six patients treated with radical cystectomy at the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, Hunan Province, China between 2000 and 2010 were retrospectively analyzed. Medical records were reviewed for age, gender, delayed time of radical cystectomy, urinary diversion type, pelvic lymphadenectomy status, TNM stage, and pathological grade. Comorbidity information was assessed by the ACE-27 index. The outcome measurement was overall survival. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were used to determine the association between comorbidity and outcome. The study population consisted of 215 (87.40%) males and 31 (12.60%) females with a mean age of $62{\pm}11$ years. Median duration of follow-up was $47{\pm}31$ months. A total of 151 (61.38%) patents died during follow-up. Of those, 118 (47.97%) had at least one comorbidity. According to the ACE-27 scores, 128 (52.03%) patients had no comorbidity, 79 (32.11%) had mild, 33 (13.41%) had moderate, and 6 (2.45%) had severe comorbidities. Multivariate analysis indicated that moderate (p=0.002) and severe (p<0.001) comorbidity was significantly associated with decreased overall survival. In addition, age ${\geq}70$ years (p=0.002), delayed time of radical cystectomy >12 weeks (p=0.044), pelvic lymphadenectomy status (p=0.014), and TNM stage >T3 (p<0.001) were determined to be independent risk factors of overall survival. Increasing severity of comorbidity statistically correlated with decreased overall survival after radical cystectomy.
