[Value of urodynamic studies in the framework of total radical prostatectomy].

In the service, sixty patients underwent a radical prostatectomy between 1987 and 1994. The last 35 candidates to radical prostatectomy were prospectively analyzed in urodynamic parameters preoperatively and two months afterwards. Five patients present an incontinence: two total incontinence and three moderate incontinence. In two of the patients there was a detrusor instability, in two others an urethral instability and in the last patient, we discover a diminution of the bladder functional capacity on the postoperative urodynamics. So, the question is now to determine if incontinence is only caused by a sphincteric insufficiency or by a bladder or urethral dysfunction. The preoperative urodynamics are important to appreciate the quality of sphincters and the quality of the bladder; it's also an important meeting between the patient and the surgeon. The postoperative urodynamics seem to be reserved to the patients who have some problems, so to search an explanation for the incontinence. All our patients underwent rehabilitative physiotherapy, which seems to help them to recover their continence.

Adenocarcinoma

[Endoscopic sphincterotomy, artificial AMS 800 sphincter and enlargement enterocystoplasty in the treatment of a dyssynergic neurological bladder].

Endoscopic sphincterotomy, AMS 800 artificial urinary sphincter and enlargement cystoplasty for treating a neurologic dyssynergic bladder. Association of endoscopic sphincterotomy made on a first operating time, with AMS 800 artificial sphincter and enlargement cystoplasty is a good choice for treating selected patients with a neurologic dyssynergic bladder. The author report his experience and his technique in a case of congenital malformation of the medullary cone.

Adult

[Three hundred and seventy-one cases of colon carcinoma; analysis and results (author's transl)].

Between 1963 and 1978 the authors operated 371 patients for adenocarcinoma of the colon. The operability rate was as high as 99%. Sixty-three percent of the group were women. The average age was 66 years. A resection could be done in 86.5% of the cases; of those 75% were considered curative. Only 6.7% were stage A. Right-sided lesions were treated with a right hemicolectomy. On the left side a left hemicolectomy was the operation of choice. A segmental resection was performed when local and general factors were unfavorable. The operative mortality (within 30 days) was 12.5% for the total group for "curative" resections the mortality was 9.9% all cases considered and 7.3% for these operated upon between 1971 and 1978. The survival rate for all operated patients is 34.8% (corrected 42.1%) 5 years later and remains about the same at 10 years (29.3%) (corrected 41.9%).
