Transitional Cell Carcinoma Within a Calyceal Diverticulum Associated With Stone Disease

Case Review

Corey Passman Dean G Assimos Jack M Zuckerman

We report a case of transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) discovered within a calyceal diverticulum at the time of percutaneous nephrolithotomy. The stones and tumor were endoscopically removed and the diverticular cavity fulgurated. Pathologic analysis demonstrated low-grade TCC. A subsequent laparoscopic radical nephroureterectomy was performed and high-grade TCC invading the parenchyma was found. This case demonstrates the potential for TCC to develop in stone-containing calyceal diverticula and also the potential for coexistence of different grades of TCC within the involved renal unit.[Rev Urol. 2010;12(1):52-55 doi: 10.3909/riu0446]

Multibacterial Growth From a Surgical Renal Stone Culture: A Case Report and Literature Review

Jessica N Lange Patrick W Mufarrij Majid Mirzazadeh Dean G Assimos Ross P Holmes

Urinary calculi may harbor bacteria, and this may lead to deleterious events during stone fragmentation and removal. The isolation of such bacteria from surgically extracted calculi allows for the specific tailoring of antimicrobial therapy. Here, we describe a case involving percutaneous stone removal from which the stone culture demonstrated growth of five different microorganisms. The results of this culture prompted a change in the antibiotic coverage, resulting in a more targeted treatment and improved patient care.

Reducing Infectious Complications Following Transrectal Ultrasound-guided Prostate Biopsy: A Systematic Review

Systematic Review

Jordon T Walker Claus G Roehrborn Nirmish Singla

A rise in antimicrobial resistant uropathogens has generated a global increase in infections following transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy (TRUS-Bx). We performed a systematic search of Ovid MEDLINE® and PubMed to comprehensively review strategies to mitigate infections. Of 1664 articles retrieved, 62 were included. The data suggest that augmented prophylaxis and povidone-iodine bowel preparation warrant consideration in regions with high rates of antimicrobial resistance. Transperineal biopsy may be a safer, equally effective alternative to TRUS-Bx in select cases. Recent international travel appears to increase patients’ risk for experiencing infections. These findings can aid clinicians in minimizing post-TRUS-Bx infectious complications. [Rev Urol. 2016;18(2):73-89 doi: 10.3909/riu0713] © 2016 MedReviews®, LLC

A Head-to-Head Comparative Phase II Study of Standard Urine Culture and Sensitivity Versus DNA Next-generation Sequencing Testing for Urinary Tract Infections

Original Research

Truls E Bjerklund Johansen Vladimir Mouraviev David Albala Michael McDonald Darian Kameh Mark E Johnson

Many studies have discussed clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of cystitis and pyelonephritis. Treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) can be based on empiric antibiotic therapy. For complicated or recurrent UTIs, therapy can be based on laboratory-controlled culture and sensitivity (C&S) reports. The diagnosis of UTI by clinical criteria alone has an error rate of up to 33%. In addition, positive laboratory culture results do not always indicate a diagnosis of UTI. Comparison of urine in a conventional culture model versus DNA next-generation sequencing (NGS) to accurately identify and provide information on resistance factors (mobile genetic elements) is warranted. Our study was a head-to-head comparative phase II study of standard urine C&S versus DNA NGS testing for the diagnosis and treatment efficacy in patients with symptoms of acute cystitis based on short-term outcomes.
