Surgery Uro Flashcards
t/f adrenal gland incidentalomas are found by chance
true
t/f adrenal adenomas and incidentalomas are larger than adrenal cancers
false, cancers are larger.
larger than 5 cm = cancer
management for adrenal cancer
- open adrenalectomy: incision almost half the abdomen
- laparoscopic adrenalectomy: keyhole incisions
most common type of pediatric renal cancer
wilm’s tumor or nephroblastoma
management for pediatric renal ca
transverse laparotomy, nephrectomy
most common type of kidney ca in adults
renal cell ca
triad of renal cell ca
flank pain, renal mass, hematuria
staging of renal cell ca
1: originates and is in renal parenchyma, <7 cm
2: >7 cm
3: tumor extended within kidney (parenchyma, blood vessels, ln)
4: tumor extended beyond kidney
management of renal cell ca
- partial nephrectomy =4 cm
- radical nephrectomy (kidney, fatty tissues, ureter) +/- adrenal gland +/- ln resection
squaca of the kidney associated with long standing nephrolithiasis (staghorn calculus)
renal squamous cell ca
chronic irritation, inflammation, infection -> squamous metaplasia
in transitional cell ca of renal pelvis and collecting system, tumor starts in ___
ureter and/or calyces of renal pelvis
management of transitional cell ca
- radical nephroureterectomy with bladder cuff excision
- must remove all continuous transitional cell lining
- minoter with cytoscopy
t/f ureteral ca is common
false
diagnostics for ureter malignancy
- initial: ct scan (urogram, iv urogram, stonogram)
- retrograde pyelography for confirmation
- ureteroscopy
- biopsy
management of ureter malignancy
- ensure that there is no renal pelvis tumor (antegrade seeding or extension)
- check for bladder ca (retrograde extension)
- no other pathologies = excise/ resect affected segment
if ureter tumor is too short, ___ can be done
ureteroneocystostomy
- psoas hitch
- boari flap
transuretero-ureterostomy
types of bladder ca
- transitional cell ca !!!
- adenoca
- squaca of the bladder
