[Intestinal obstruction caused by transitional carcinoma].

OBJECTIVES: To draw attention to the possibility that distant intestinal metastasis can arise from transitional urothelial carcinoma located in the bladder. METHODS: Two female patients developed distant metastasis during treatment of the tumor by transurethral resection of the bladder. RESULTS: Following complicated transurethral resection with perforation of the peritoneal cavity, the patients developed intestinal obstruction from metastatic transitional cell carcinoma. CONCLUSIONS: Direct or distant seeding of tumor cells on previously undamaged peritoneal serosa produced with the resectoscope may not be exceedingly unlikely.

[Inverted Y ureteral duplication].

We report a case of inverted Y duplication of the ureter, incidentally found in a man consulting for hematuria. The diagnostic and therapeutic aspects are briefly discussed.

[Prostate-bladder rhabdomyosarcoma: therapeutic approaches].

We describe the unusual case of a young male who presented lower urinary tract obstruction secondary to a bladder-prostate embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. Initially he was treated with multiagent chemotherapy and radiotherapy in an attempt to preserve bladder function, but eventually radical cystoprostatectomy was warranted to control tumor growth. The objectives of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, partial and/or radical surgery and the main prognostic factors are briefly discussed.

[Von Hippel Lindau disease in urologic patients].

A case of von Hippel Lindau disease in a young female is described. Currently, surgery is unwarranted, since these patients only present cystic disease. However, subsequent control evaluations may indicate surgery since these cysts can easily progress to a carcinoma. The literature is briefly reviewed, with special reference to the therapeutic aspects of current day patient management.

[The psoas bladder-hitch. An illustrative case].

The psoas bladder hitch is an invaluable surgical procedure in the treatment of lesions of the lower ureteral third and transplantation with short ureters. We briefly review this procedure and describe an illustrative case of ureteroneocystostomy of the right lumbar ureter.

[Impotence caused by venous leakage: surgical treatment. Short- and mid-term results].

We reviewed the results achieved by ligation of the deep dorsal vein of the penis in 14 males with erectile dysfunction secondary to venous leakage. Prostaglandin E1 injection, echo Doppler and cavernosometry were utilized for the diagnosis. Surgical correction was performed when the cavernosometric flow required for erection was more than 200 cc/minute. The patients had a follow-up evaluation at 3, 6 and 12 months postoperatively. At one year, 4 (28.5%) patients showed good results and 10 (71.4%) poor. The factors that may influence the short, medium and long-term results are briefly described.
