    Nephron-sparing surgery for treatment of reninoma: a rare renin secreting tumor causing secondary hypertension
    (2015) TORRICELLI, Fabio Cesar Miranda; MARCHINI, Giovanni Scala; COLOMBO JUNIOR, Jose Roberto; COELHO, Rafael Ferreira; NAHAS, Willian Carlos; SROUGI, Miguel
    Main findings: A 25-year-old hypertensive female patient was referred to our institution. Initial workup exams demonstrated a 2.8 cm cortical lower pole tumor in the right kidney. She underwent laparoscopic partial nephrectomy without complications. Histopathologic examination revealed a rare juxtaglomerular cell tumor known as reninoma. After surgery, she recovered uneventfully and all medications were withdrawn. Case hypothesis: Secondary arterial hypertension is a matter of great interest to urologists and nephrologists. Renovascular hypertension, primary hyperadosteronism and pheocromocytoma are potential diagnosis that must not be forgotten and should be excluded. Although rare, chronic pyelonephritis and renal tumors as rennin-producing tumors, nephroblastoma, hypernephroma, and renal cell carcinoma might also induce hypertension and should be in the diagnostic list of clinicians. Promising future implications: Approximately 5% of patients with high blood pressure have specific causes and medical investigation may usually identify such patients. Furthermore, these patients can be successfully treated and cured, most times by minimally invasive techniques. This interesting case might expand knowledge of physicians and aid better diagnostic care in future medical practice.

    Salvage robot assisted radical prostatectomy: A propensity matched study of perioperative, oncological and functional outcomes
    (2015) BATES, A. S.; SAMAVEDI, S.; KUMAR, A.; MOURAVIEV, V.; ROCCO, B.; COELHO, R.; PALMER, K.; PATEL, V. R.
    Background: To report the perioperative, functional and oncological outcomes of salvage robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (s-RARP) in a propensity score-matched analysis. Study design: 53 patients underwent s-RARP at our institution. Perioperative, functional and oncological outcomes were compared between propensity matched cohorts. Results: Patients in the s-RARP group were at significantly higher risk based on the D'Amico classification system (p = 0.010). Estimated blood loss, complication rate, hospital stay, BCR risk, persistent cancer and time to return of potency were similar between groups (full nerve spare [NS] n = 22). In the s-RARP cohort there was a higher prevalence of lymphovascular invasion (26.4% versus 13.2%; p = 0.032), time to catheter removal and a higher prevalence of anastomotic leaks in the postoperative period (34.0% vs 5.7%, p < 0.010). The hazard ratio for return to potency regardless of nerve sparing in the s-RARP group was 0.47 (95% CI 0.25-0.88). Significantly more patients undergoing primary RARP with partial nerve sparing (NS) recovered continence (p < 0.001) and potency (p = 0.043) compared to partial NS s-RARP patients. The return to continence and potency did not differ between full NS cases (n = 22; p = 0.616). Conclusions: Salvage RARP patients undergoing surgery have more high risk disease. Patients should be counseled that they are more likely to demonstrate anastomotic leakage on cystogram, and prolonged catheterization times. The time to potency and continence in sRARP undergoing partial and no NS was significantly delayed (n = 49). The proportion of patients returning to potency and continence was also lower in our s-RARP group.
