Twenty-five children with meningomyelocele have been managed by clean unsterile intermittent catheterization (UIC). There were 17 satisfactory results, three total failures, and three partial failures under this regimen. Experience, problems, and causes of failure are discussed. UIC offers a definitive form of management for some types of neurogenic bladder.
Sixty-three patients were studied after renal transplantation to determine whether infection associated with use of the urethral catheter could be diagnosed reliably with catheter tip cultures. Catheter tip cultures correlated poorly with urine cultures aspirated from the catheter and follow-up voided urine cultures. Postoperative infectious complications did appear to be related to catheter contamination.
A case of Salmonella lithiasis in a 60-year-old woman is presented and the relevant literature is discussed. Nephrectomy instead of lyelolithotomy was undertaken to eliminate the carrier state, and cholecystectomy and exploration of the common bile duct were required.
A case of squamous cell carcinoma of the shaft of the penis leading to auto-amputation is presented. Despite delay in treatment, a good result was obtained following surgical excision.
