The management of delayed recognized ureteral injuries.

Of the 90 cases of ureteral injuries reviewed 51 injuries were recognized immediately, while 39 were recognized in the delayed period. Although the over-all difference in results between those treated immediately and those receiving delayed treatment was relatively small, when the cases were further subdivided by etiology and time of recognition into immediate and delayed iatrogenic injuries and traumatic injuries the difference in results was striking. This fact had been suspected clinically but not well documented previously in the urologic literature.

Traumatic ureteral injuries with delayed recognition.

Review of ureteral injuries treated in the past ten years at the Los Angeles County-University of Souther California Medical Center revealed 9 cases of traumatic injury which escaped immediate recognition. These patients were found to have a poor prognosis with a higher incidence of nephrectomy when compared with those patients with immediate diagnosis and treatment.

Seeding mechanism of urothelium over nonepithelialized surfaces.

To study urothelial spreading over nonepithelialized tissue surfaces, bladder defects in rabbits were patched with pedicled prevesical fat. Using serial sections and scanning electron microscopic studies, it was concluded that urothelium in the process of covering nonepithelialized surfaces is able to seed at a distance from the periphery of the defect as one means of epithelializing a defect.
