Sensitive method for intraoperative roentgenograms.

A new technique using mammography film has been developed. A portable x-ray machine and mammographic film has been used to obtain excellent intraoperative radiographs of renal calculi. The kidney is exposed through a flank incision. The film is cut to a size and shape that will permit an easy fit behind the kidney. Exposed film is developed in an automatic processor. This technique has facilitated location and removal of small calculi and faintly opaque calculi. Uric acid stones have been demonstrated in vitro. It is an inexpensive technique that requires no special equipment.

Urologic complications of inflammatory bowel disease.

Urologic complications occurred in 54 of 233 patients with inflammatory bowel disease followed during a 15-year period. Urinary calculi, enterovesical fistulas and ureteral obstruction were the most common problems. Urinary tract complications may arise many years after primary bowel disease has been diagnosed. Symptoms frequently may be absent or obscured by those of the gastrointestinal disorder. We recommend that urologic evaluation be included periodically in the long-term management of patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
