Bladder function after surgery for lumbar intervertebral disk protrusion.

PURPOSE: Urodynamic changes following surgical treatment for lumbar intervertebral disk protrusion were prospectively studied. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We evaluated 98 patients with lumbar intervertebral disk protrusion. Urodynamic evaluation was performed in all patients before and after surgery, and included simultaneous measurement of intravesical and abdominal pressure during bladder filling and voiding, and uroflowmetry (pressure flow measurement). RESULTS: Of the 27 patients with detrusor areflexia preoperatively detrusor activity was normal in only 6 after surgical treatment. Of the 71 patients with normal urodynamic findings preoperatively the findings became abnormal after surgery in 7. CONCLUSIONS: Bladder function frequently remains unchanged after surgery for lumbar intervertebral disk protrusion.

Urogenital war injuries.

Out of 1,350 war casualties treated at the University Hospital Rebro during the defensive war in Croatia, 60 (4.4%) injuries of the urogenital tract were present. Among these 60 casualties, 51 (85.0%) had multiple injuries, most often abdominal and urogenital. These patients were accordingly treated by combined urological and surgical teams. Regarding injuries, there were 21 kidney injuries, 11 ureter (2 patients had bilateral injuries), 7 urinary bladder, 2 urethral, 15 testicular, and 6 penile injuries subjected to surgical treatment. Nephrectomy was performed in 6/21 patients with kidney injuries. Orchiectomy was performed in 40% of patients with testicular injuries. In the remaining patients with urological tract injuries, surgical reconstruction with organ conservation was performed.

Hydrostatic pressure within renal cysts.

Hydrostatic pressure was measured within 10 single renal cysts during surgical exploration. The pressure ranged from 12.5 to 31.0 cm of water (average 22 cm). It seems that the persistently elevated hydrostatic pressure within renal cysts could be associated with their expansion.
