  3. Green light laser

  4. Laser wavelength is absorbed by hemoglobin It will not vaporize anything without hemoglobin.

  5. Traditional TURP

  6. Green light Laser video

  7. Green light laser summary • Same results as standard TURP • Less bleeding • DAY CARE PROCEDURE!!

  8. ILEAL CONDUIT

  9. Early complications of abdominal stomas • bowel necrosis • Bleeding • Dermatitis • parastomal hernia • Prolapse • Obstruction • stomal retraction • stomal stenosis

  10. URINARY CATHETERS

  11. Urethral dilators

  12. Difficult catheterization • Use the right catheter • Bigger is usually better • Coude men • Use a urojet • Want lubricant all the way to the bladder • Hold the penis on stretch • Straightens urethra

  13. Difficult catheterization: female • Exposure: lights, frog-leg…do not disadvantage yourself! • finger in vagina (non dominant hand) and slide catheter above finger • Atrophic vaginits, retracted urethra

  14. SUMMARY CATHETERIZATION • Use a urojet. He will thank you for it. • Try a coude. You don’t need an order to do this. • Keep the penis on stretch. • Push the catheter to the hilt, then blow ballon up.

  15. Urolithiasis

  16. Ureteroscopy and laser lithotripsy

  17. Flexible/rigid ureteroscopes

  18. Postop Ureteroscopy • Flank pain! • Can’t pee! • Hematuria! • Stent pain

  19. Stent with dangle string

  20. Why do stents cause so much pain?

  21. Stent discomfort • Strategies to minimize: • Medications that calm the bladder • Anticholinergics (ditropan, B&O supp) • Opiods (morphine, demerol) • Ensure bladder is empty • Alpha blockers

  22. CBI tips • Continuous bladder irrigation • Purpose: keeps urine clear and dilute so clots cannot form • It is not to irrigate out clots!!!

  23. Bladder full of clot = big trouble! • Catheter may clog and bladder may over distend with CBI. This is can be a disaster in immediate post op period • Bladder tumor resection • Radical prostatectomy • TURP • Partial nephrectomy

  24. CBI take home messages: • Keep it running so urine is pinkish clear • Check for bladder distension • Keep drip chamber clear • CBI post TURBT: CLOSE MONITORING! • CBI does not flush out clots • Needs tomey syringe and hand irrigation for this. • Deflate balloon when irrigating

  25. Drains: • Purpose: to let the surgeon know what is happening at the site of surgery • Is there a urine leak? • Is there bleeding?

  26. Partial nephrectomy

  27. Drain management • Typically kept on bulb suction • Note appearance: bloody? Urine? • Note volume • Send it for creatinine • If serous will be same as serum creatinine • If urine will be over 1000

  28. end, thank you!
