Extragonadal retroperitoneal germ cell tumors without apparent testicular involvement. A search for the source.

Extratesticular germ cell neoplasms without apparent testicular primary tumors are rare. The origin of these neoplasms has been debated in the literature for decades. With the advent of effective chemotherapy for extratesticular germ cell neoplasms, the origin of these tumors becomes more than academic. We report on 3 cases of retroperitoneal germ cell neoplasms with microscopic intratesticular primary tumors. All patients with extragonadal germinal cell tumors of the testes should undergo thorough investigation for an occult testicular primary tumor despite a normal testis examination. We review previously reported cases of extratesticular germ cell neoplasms without an apparent testicular primary tumor.

Epispadias: contending with continence.

Forty-seven patients with epispadias not associated with bladder exstrophy were treated at our institution over the last half decade. There were 8 female and 39 male patients, 37 of whom had retrosymphyseal epispadias. Of the 20 male patients with subsymphyseal epispadias and incontinence 13 had a fair to excellent result. Of the 7 females with retrosymphyseal epispadias and incontinence, all but 1 came to urinary diversion. An analysis of our data suggests that premature operative intervention precludes obtaining maximal functional and cosmetic results. In addition, the discrepancy in our overall success rate utilizing a one-stage technique versus a staged procedure favored by others may support the latter.

Exstrophy of bladder: evolution of management.

Eighty-nine patients with bladder exstrophy were seen at our institution over the last fifty years. There were 63 males and 26 females. Cloacal exstrophy constituted 9 per cent of our experience. Twenty-seven patients underwent primary urinary diversion with subsequent genital reconstruction early on in our series. Of the 57 children operated on since 1951, 50 were judged eligible for and underwent a planned multistaged reconstruction. We realized a 50 per cent success rate. The majority of failures were diverted into an ileal conduit for persistent incontinence.

Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy: a comprehensive review.

Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) has revolutionized treatment of urolithiasis since its introduction in the 1980s. The great majority of renal and ureteral stones can be successfully treated with ESWL. Complications can be minimized with maximal efficacy if patient selection is optimum.
