[Suburethral sling in the treatment of urinary incontinence: our experience].

Review of 17 female patients who underwent placing of Suburethral Sling as anti-incontinence procedure with the purpose of assessing the results obtained. The most frequent complications were urinary retention and post-surgical urgency. A larger proportion of patients with Stress Urinary Incontinence had retention and during more days than those with Mixed Urinary Incontinence. In most cases of mixed urinary incontinence, asymptomatic prior to surgery, the placing of a suburethral sling provokes signs and symptoms of urgency, and even of post-surgical urgency-incontinence. Both complications were attenuated in all cases using measures such as conservation of urinary by-pass or administration of anti-cholinergics. Results at 2 years have been successful in 68.75% cases, thus encouraging us to reduce the number of indications for this technique.

[The immotile cilia syndrome as a cause of sterility].

We investigated the relationship between ciliary dyskinesia--commonly referred to as inmotile cilia syndrome--and sterility. In the past two years, we have accurately diagnosed 6 new cases of a total of 20 suspected as having this condition. To make the diagnosis, complete clinical, radiological, ultrastructural and spermatic work up was performed. All males in the fertile age were found to be sterile with spermatozoides with no motility. Sterility may initially go undetected in these patients due to early intense ORL and respiratory symptoms they present. However, mild forms of this disease entity may be asymptomatic and patients may consult for sterility with a clinical picture of scantily florid chronic bronchitis like that of smokers. Coincidental situs inversus may be useful in making the diagnosis.

[Stenosis of the pyeloureteral junction and contralateral renal carcinoma].

We report a case of advanced ureteropelvic junction obstruction associated with contralateral renal carcinoma in a 39-year-old male patient who consulted for frequent episodes of renal colic and gross asymptomatic hematuria. The results of the renal function tests and the radiological and isotope work up indicated a two-stage surgical procedure of pyeloplasty and contralateral partial nephrectomy. At 6 years follow up the patient is tumor free and renal function is preserved.
