The advantages of routine use of nephrostomy drainage with pyeloplasty.
Pyeloplasty by a dismembered Y-V plasty technique to correct congenital ureteropelvic junction obstruction has been used for 8 years with uniform success. The routine use of a neophrostomy and splinting catheter offers many advantages and no significant disadvantages.

Pelvic lymphadenectomy for the staging of apparently localized prostatic cancer.
Staging pelvic lymphadenectomy has been done on 87 patients with clinically localized prostatic carcinoma. With this method nodal metastases can be discovered, although they are undetectable by any other means. There were 44 patients with negative pelvic lymph nodes by surgical staging subjected to radical prostatectomy. Only 6 patients (14 per cent) had microscopic invasion of the prostatic capsule and there was just 1 instance of microscopic seminal vesicle invasion in those with negative pelvic lymph nodes.

Lipid disturbances associated with spiral muscular atrophy. Clinical, electromyographic, histochemical, and lipid studies.
Twelve patients with juvenile- and adult-onset spinal muscular atrophy have been studied. Eleven of the twelve patients had either type II, type IV, or borderline abnormal phenotypes, suggesting a possible relationship between serum lipid abnormalities and neuronal degeneration in the spinal muscular atrophies. Muscle enzyme histochemical studies provided valuable diagnostic information. Extensor toe signs and talipes cavus were common clinical observations.

Intratesticular epidermoid cyst. A rare benign tumor.
Epidermoid cysts rarely arise within the testis. The incidental discovery of a distinct, intratesticular epidermoid cyst in a nineteen-year-old man is reported. Management by radical orchiectomy is stressed because grossly the tumor is indistinguishable from a malignant testicular tumor.

Staging of localized prostatic carcinoma by pelvic lymphadenectomy: technique using sequential, unilateral extraperitoneal incisions.
A technique for sequential, unilateral, extraperitoneal pelvic lymphadenectomy is described. The procedure is advocated for staging patients with localized prostatic carcinoma in whom all laboratory test results for metastases are negative and in whom definitive radiation therapy or radical prostatectomy is contemplated. This procedure allows complete excision of the regional lymphatic drainage of the prostate with minimal surgical morbidity.

Bilateral complete renal duplication with total obstruction of both lower pole collecting systems.
Sepsis and a flank mass developed in a twenty-two-year-old primagravida two days after a normal delivery. Urography showed normal upper pole collecting structures bilaterally. A spherical mass containing curvilinear calcification occupied the left lower pole, and a large inflammatory mass filled the right inferior renal fossa. Angiography and retrograde pyelography demonstrated marked bilateral lower pole hydronephrosis with complete obstruction of the water to each inferior duplicated collecting system.
