Monitor for Urologic Resection Fluid

Monitor for Urologic Resection Fluid2

MONITOR FOR UROLOGIC RESECTION FLUID

The Uramix Monitor of Urologic Resection Fluid – MURF (originally envisioned by Steven Ochs, MD) – is a portable electronic fluid monitor, which monitors fluid use during urologic endoscopic procedures, and provides sound alerts to allow for the timely replacement of fluid bags. This avoid unnecessary interruptions during the procedure or increased vision obscuring bleeding.

Key Benefits

Easy to use and improves fluid management during endoscopic procedures.

Method of Use

The MURF is made to be user-friendly.

  • Hang the device first on the pole used to hang the fluid bags without any bags on it.
  • Pres “ON/OFF” key. The screen will display (8888) and the buzzer will utter the sound of being turned on.
  • Wait for 2-3 seconds until the (0.00 or 0.000) is displayed on the screen. The device is ready for monitoring.
  • Press the “TARE” key (zero) and the screen will display “0.000”. The device is ready for monitoring.
  • Hang one or two fluid bags on the device hook. The screen will display the weight/volume of the bags.
  • The device monitors fluid use and will give several sound warnings to warn operator when it is time to switch or replace fluid bags.
  • The device will give distinct warning sounds at 250 ml and at 100 ml of actual fluid to give the operator time to get ready to either switch bags or replace bags. The actual reading on the monitor might be different as the device also takes into consideration the weight of the bag or bags (up to two).
  • Press “ON/OFF” key to turn off.
  • The electronic monitor will not auto turn off; user should turn it off manually

The Mooreville Dilator

The Mooreville Dilator

Single-Bladed Cavernotome

The cavernotome has a simple, yet ingenious design, which helps the surgeon control the cutting and shaving action of the dilator within the confines of the corpora. The cavernotome incorporates a 1 mm cutting blade, which rises from a beveled surface within the circumference of the dilator and does not exceed this perimeter, for a precise and controlled cut or shaving action.

Method of Use

The Mooreville Dilators were designed for use in both moderately fibrotic corporas as well as virgin implants.

  • Entry to the fibrotic corpora needs to be accessed by scalpel and extended both proximally and distally to allow entry to the cavernotome
  • The working element should be directed laterally initially
  • If tissue does not respond to the cutting process the cavernotome can be rotated or moved in an oscillating fashion to create a shaving action that removes fibrotic tissue and at the same time propels the cavernotome forward
  • The cavernotomes are used in succession until the desired size is attained
  • Can be used in normal corpora for a speedier dilation
  • Can be used as a measuring tool

Case study

The cavernotomes were used in nineteen patients with corporeal fibrosis. The etiology of the fibrosis was removal of previously infected prosthesis (15), extensive fibrosis from recurrent priapism secondary to sickle cell disease (2), pharmacologic injection program and subsequent Winter shunts (2). One of the patients whose prosthesis was removed for infection also had a tip erosion on the contralateral side necessitating the creation of a subcapsular space for the insertion of a new cylinder.

Surgical Technique

After a small corporotomy is created, the cavernotomes are introduced and moved in an oscillating motion resulting in forward advancement. If more resection is needed, rotation of the cavernotomes will create a “shaving” action which removes 1 mm strips of fibrotic tissue.

  • Cutting can be done both in a longitudinal, up and down, movement, or in a “drilling” rotational movement.
  • The largest size (13 mm) corresponds to standard cylinder diameter. Dilation to 10 mm is necessary for insertion of the Furlow tool or the Mentor NB cylinder base. Dilation to 11 mm is necessary for the insertion of the AMS CXM base.
  • Internal cutting of the fibrosis obviates extensive corporotomies and results in quicker procedures.
  • The cavernotome’s design and oscillating advancement promote safe dilation without perforation.

Cavernotome being used to dilate fibrotic corpora

All uses of the cavernotomes resulted in successful implantation of inflatable cylinders or semimalleable rods without urethral injury or corporal perforation.

  • Fifteen of the patients received downsized prosthesis (13 Alpha NB, 2 AMS 700 CXM).
  • Of the remaining four patients, three patients were implanted with Mentor Alpha 1 standard size cylinders, and 1 patient was implanted with an AMS semimalleable prosthesis.
  • Graft material was not required and only two patients required additional distal penile incisions for optimum cylinder tip placement.
  • Average operative time was 51 minutes (39-86 minutes range).
