[Tumors of the upper urinary tract. Apropos 35 cases].

Thirty-five cases of upper urinary tract tumors treated by the authors in an interval of 10 years (1979-1988) are presented. After a detailed analysis of the cases some general considerations on the anatomopathologic forms of upper urinary tract tumors, stage classification, symptoms and clinical and laboratory diagnosis, therapeutical indications are made.

[The therapeutic approach in superficial epithelial tumors of the bladder. Apropos 98 cases].

Between 1985 and 1990, superficial epithelial tumors of gallbladder were found in 98 patients. Peculiar aspects such as age, sex, symptoms, clinical and laboratory diagnosis, surgical treatment, additional interventions, postoperative treatment, anatomo-pathological examination, pTNM classification and tumoral grading, postoperative recurrences, occurring after the primary and adjuvant treatment, were analysed. After some general comments, the authors point out that in their experience the lowest rate of postoperative recurrences was obtained by a multimodal treatment, that is surgery and vesical instillations with cytostatics or B.C.G. vaccine, according to EORCT scheme.

Adult

[2 cases of priapism treated by cavernous body shunts].

The authors present their personal experience in connection with two cases to priapism, one of which was solved by unilateral saphenocavernous anastomosis in a leukemic patient, and the second one by bilateral caverno-spongious anastomosis in a patient with idiopathic priapism. Both interventions had a good outcome. The emergency character is stressed, of this type of intervention, that should b performed bilaterally and followed by anticoagulant treatment.

[Reconsideration of transureteral cutaneous ureterostomy: Y-shaped cutaneous ureterostomy (author's transl)].

After reviewing the history and technique used for transureteral cutaneous ureterostomy, the authors describe 5 cases treated by this method during the 3-year period, 1975--1977. This prodecure has many advantages when compared to the transintestinal cutaneous ureterostomy as described by Bricker, uteterosigmoidoscopy, and "double-barreleed" cutaneous ureterostomy. The authors conclude that transureteral cutaneous ureterostomy should be performed in cases of ureteropyelocalicial distention with renal failure from operable or inoperable bladder cancer, in women with inoperable or recurrent tumors of the genital organs and vesicovaginal, vesicourethrovaginal or vesicorectovaginal fistulae, and in patients with a neurological bladder. They propose that this surgical technique be known as "Y-shaped cutaneous ureterostomy" instead of transureteral cutaneous ureterostomy because of its similarity to the method of Roux for Y-shaped digestive tract anastomoses, and because this new terminology is simpler and describes the operative procedure in a clearer manner.
