New method of postprostatectomy bladder irrigation.

Bacterial filters have been used to sterilise the hospital water supply in order to provide irrigant for postprostatectomy irrigation. This method was compared retrospectively to bladder irrigation derived from a still on the ward. Postoperative bacteriuria was similar in both groups of 75 patients, occurring in 23.7% of patients irrigated from the still and in 20% of patients irrigated via the filters. The bacterial filter proved reliable and as safe as using water from the still.

Cephradine prophylaxis in transurethral procedures for carcinoma of the bladder.

The value of cephradine prophylaxis in reducing urinary infection was assessed in 243 patients undergoing endoscopy for bladder carcinoma. Patients were randomised either to receive 3 peri-operative doses of cephradine or to receive no antibiotic. Urine specimens taken on the fifth post-operative day showed a significantly lower urinary infection rate in those patients receiving cephradine prophylaxis.

We present 6 cases of traumatic rupture of the testis. Early scrotal exploration is indicated in this condition and may involve either repair or removal of the injured testis. The extent of microvascular damage to the testis determines the outcome of a repair operation.
