Objetivos: Determinar la eficacia de la embolización de las arterias prostáticas en el tratamiento de los pacientes con síntomas del tracto urinario bajo asociados a hiperplasia prostática benigna.Material y métodos: Estudio descriptivo, tipo reporte de casos, prospectivo. Se realizó embolización de arterias prostáticas (EAP) a 10 pacientes, 7 de los cuales tenían síntomas del tracto urinario bajo asociado a hiperplasia benigna de próstata (STUB/HBP) moderados y severos, refractarios a tratamiento médico durante 6 meses y 3 portadores de sonda vesical permanente; la edad promedio fue 69,4 ± 8,04 años. Se evaluaron a los pacientes antes de la EAP (tiempo 0), y a los meses 1, 3 y 6; el éxito se valoró por: disminución del volumen de la próstata (VP): >10%, mejora del puntaje internacional de síntomas prostáticos (IPSS), flujo urinario máximo (Qmáx):>15 ml/seg, Ã...

Objective: To  report the findings of laparoscopic nephrectomies in patients with malignant, benignant and donor conditions. Methods: A retrospective case series carried-out at Cayetano Heredia Hospital between August 2013 and May 2019. Patients with non-functioning kidneys of any etiology and contra lateral kidney functioning were included. Patients with severe pionephrosis were excluded. Demographic, clinical, body mass index, etiology of the nonfunctioning kidney, conversion rate, laterality, operating time, histopathology of the resected kidneys, complications, need for blood transfusion, hospital stay and clinical evolution. Results: 70 patients were evaluated; in 39 (55.8%) a simple laparoscopy for benign entities was performed; in 23 (32.8%) a radical nephrectomy for cancer was performed and in 8 (11.4%) a laparoscopy was performed for living donors. In 7 patients the laparos...

Introduction: The Integral Health Insurance started a support program to finance renal replacement therapies. Objetive: We present preliminary results of the Pilot Program Renal Transplantation of Cayetano Heredía National Hospital – Public Health. Material and method: Case series of renal transplantation period 2007 to 2009. Results: we performed 32 living-related donor 30 (93.75%), unrelated 1 (3.13%), cadáver 1 (3.13%), 14 (43.75%) men, 18 (56.25%) women, 18 (56.25%) children and 14 (43.75%) adults. The average age was 21.5 ± 12.14 years (9.3 – 65.3), average waiting time on díalysis was 2.04 ± 1.79 (0.3 – 6.36) years. Time of arterial and venous anastomosis, warm ischemia and cold was 32.28 ± 15.52 (15-79) min, 31 ± 9.7 (20 - 60) min, 1.72 ± 1.02 (0.83 – 3.28) min, 2.5 ± 0.56 (1 – 16) hours respectively. Induction therapy it was Antithymocyte Gl...
