A laparoscopic-assisted extraperitoneal bladder neck suspension: an initial experience.

A new procedure is described for the correction of stress urinary incontinence caused by hypermobility of the urethrovesical junction using an extraperitoneal laparoscopic approach with the use of a new needle. There has been no previous publication of this approach. The initial study shows that this procedure offers technical advantages over the existing procedures and requires short hospitalization, less use of postoperative pain medication, and early recovery. We hope to report a long-term follow-up in the future.

Leydig cell tumor in patient on estrogen therapy.

The occurrence of a Leydig cell tumor in a sixty-nine-year-old man, who received estrogen therapy for approximately two and one-half years, is reported. No similar situation has been reported in the medical literature, although there has been a search for the cause of these tumors in man. Experimentally, the administration of estrogen has caused these tumors in mice.

Use of methylene blue in suspected colovesical fistula.

Positive urine and blood assays of methylene and leukomethylene blue were obtained from 9 volunteers with normal colonic and renal function after a 100 ml, methylene blue enema (50 mg.). The study conclusively demonstrates that methylene blue is absorbed by rectal mucosa and excreted by the kidneys as a colored dye in the urine. Thus, intrarectal methylene blue cannot be used to confirm the diagnosis of a colovesical fistula.
