Bladder tumor diagnosis: improved excretory cystograms.

The correct precystoscopic diagnosis of bladder tumor was made in 20 of 23 patients with this disease, among more than 1,000 persons studied by double-dose excretory urography. There was no increase in the incidence of untoward effects. Double-dose excretory urography with delayed bladder films is recommended as the primary urographic procedure in all patients with gross or microscopic hematuria in whom bladder tumor is suspected.

Improved methods in the diagnosis of ureteral duplication and ectopia.

Ureteral duplication with ectopia is of clinical importance because it is attended by a high incidence of persistent urinary disease. Its diagnosis is frequently made difficult by the obscure position of the extravesical ureteral orifice, and often by its obstruction, which may block the passage of radiopaque medium. But it is in precisely such cases that early diagnosis and treatment are most essential to the preservation of renal function. The chances of diagnosis have been increased within recent years by the development of new or modified radiographic and nonradiographic techniques.

Pregnancy and urinary calculi.

The possibility of upper urinary tract calculus disease is at least as great in pregnant as in nonpregnant women, and such disease if present carries greater risks during pregnancy. The well-being and even the life of both mother and fetus may depend on prompt diagnosis, the right kind of management and effective treatment. With adequate precaution, such essential procedures as urography and emergency surgical intervention can be carried out during pregnancy at little greater hazard than ordinarily attends them.

Synchronous bilateral surgery for calculous disease of the upper urinary tract.

Bilateral calculous disease of the upper urinary tract frequently poses great difficulty in therapeutic decisions. Staged or sequential surgery is often recommended, with the side that is more obstructed, infected, or symptomatic operated on first. Despite all the rationalization for sequential surgery, we believe that a simultaneous surgical approach to bilateral calculous disease is feasible and advisable in some situations. On the basis of our experience with nine patients, we have categorized the indications for such surgery. In patients, with bilateral calculous disease for whom surgical intervention on both sides will at some point be necessary, simultaneous single-stage surgery is recommended. This is especially true: (a) with bilateral obstructive calculi; (b) in bilateral calculous disease with acute pyelonephritis when which side is affected is equivocal; (c) when anatomic proximity makes bilateral surgery easier, e.g. in bilateral lower ureteral calculi or bilateral calculi in horseshoe kidneys.
