Abstract

Abstract: Development of antibiotics resistance condition has been at a concerning state while data on the distribution of bacterial profile and the incidence of resistances in Indonesia are currently still limited at hospital environment, including at Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital in Manado, Indonesia. This study aimed to obtain the profile of bacteria and the pattern of susceptibility to antibiotics in patient's urine before and after urologic endoscopy procedures at RSUP Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou. This was an observational study with a cross sectional design. Sampling was performed with the one-group test technique of Lemeshow. The data collection technique used urine culture test by calculating the percentages. The results obtained 42 patients as subjects. The urinary bacterial profile of patients who underwent urologic endoscopy procedures at Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital were dominated by Gram-negative bacteria, namely E. coli (23.8%), Klebsiella (4.8%), Acinetobacter baumannii (2.4%); 69% of urine samples showed negative culture results. The susceptibility pattern of bacteria to antibiotics in the subjects’ urine showed 100% sensitivity to the given antibiotics. No nosocomial infection was found, however, nosocomial infection yet could not be excluded. In conclusion, bacteria found in the patients’ urine are dominated by Gram-negative bacteria namely Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, and Acinetobacter baumannii which are still sensitive to antibiotics. Most urine samples showed negative results, and no nosocomial infection was found. Keywords: bacterial profile; bacterial susceptibility; antibiotic; urological endoscopic procedure

Abstract

Abstract: Bladder neck contracture (BNC) is a potential complication after radical prostatectomy (RP). This may be a result of inadequate approximation at the time of surgery, urinary extravasation, or distraction of the bladder neck from a hematoma. Patients commonly complains of a poor urinary stream or prolonged unexplained incontinence. Treatment of BNC requires a tailored approach and can range from simple, office-based procedures to complex surgical reconstruction. We reported a case of 81-year-old male complaining urine retention for one month. The patient had previous open prostate procedure a year prior. On examination, neurogenic causes were excluded. Retrograde ureterocystography revealed bladder neck contracture. Patient was diagnosed as bladder neck contracture post open prostatectomy surgery. Transurethral holmium laser vaporization with 800 micrometre, 20 Hz frequency and 4,5 Joule of power. through a ureteroscope was performed. Two-way Folley catheter 18Fr was inserted without irrigation. Patient was discharged post-surgery two days after catheter removal and spontaneous micturition. Endoscopic balloon dilatation with incision appears to offers promising result in the management of BNC. The consideration of using transurethral vaporization with holmium laser modality was the first procedure ever done in Manado. In conclusion, TUVP is one of the alternatives, minimally invasive procedures to treat BNC. The use of holmium laser for the incision of bladder neck is another alternative to treat BNC with great outome proven by the length of stay (LOS) of two days after the procedure was done.

Abstract

Abstract: Percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) is an invasive procedure equal to a grade 4 penetrating kidney trauma. It should be carefully considered whether has a greater benefit or risk. There are currently no parameters or scores to predict the outcome of nephrostomy in our center. This study aimed to conduct a review to find out whether there were parameters or scores that could be used to predict the outcome of nephrostomy. This research used relevant studies obtained from Clinical Key, PubMed, Semantic Scholar, Dimensions, and Science Direct published in the last 10 years and written in English. Studies on children and transplant cases were excluded. Studies that met the PICO criteria were selected. The results showed that of the 141 articles collected, and filtered with inclusion criteria, exclusion criteria, and PICO criteria, finally the remaining were three studies selected. The studies discussed about classification, SFU grading system, and complication of nephrostomy; significant variables affecting recoverability of renal function; patients’ characteristics and outcomes of double J ureteral stenting (DJS) and PCN; and 12-month-post-operative creatinine level change. Most patients who failed DJS had increased creatinine level. However, one of the indications for a nephrostomy was stenting failure. In conclusion, predictor factors that can affect the renal recovery after nephrostomy include kidney shape and size, pre-nephrostomy creatinine levels, urine output, state of infection, and degree of hydronephrosis. However, the evidence is still not enough. Further research is needed on the predictor factors for renal recovery after nephrostomy.
