[Total androgenic insensitivity syndrome. Presentation as giant inguinal mass].

The androgen insensitivity syndrome is the most frequent form of masculine psedohermafroditism. The affected patients present female phenotype without sexual ambiguity but with karyotype 46 XY. In this syndrome the frequency of malignización of the testicles increases progressively with the age, because of this, the importance of an earlier diagnosis. We present a case of later diagnosis late of the androgen insensitivity syndrome, that debut with a great inguinal mass.

[Computerization of protocols for tumor follow-up].

OBJECTIVE: Evaluation of the effectiveness of the surveillance tumoral by means of computerized protocols. MATERIAL AND METHODOLOGY: We have carried out a retrospective study, taking as example the superficial bladder cancer, where we have compared the execution of the tumoral surveillance of the computerized protocols regarding the conventional ones. RESULTS: It has been demonstrated that the execution percentage and the adjustment to the predetermined terms of the explorations requested by the facultative are superior in the computerized protocols that in the conventional ones. CONCLUSION: The computerization of the tumoral protocols is user-friendly, it improves the execution degree and it saves time, providing bigger effectiveness and scientific rigor.

[Massive inguinal vesical hernia. Report of 3 cases].

Vesical hernia is defines as a vesical shift associated to a direct or indirect inguinal hernia. It accounts for 0.4-3% of all inguinal hernias, but the existence of a massive vesical hernia formation at the inguinoscrotal level is uncommon; a total of 114 cases have been found in the literature. Clinically it should be suspected every time an inguinoscrotal hernia is found in patients over 50 years old with urinary flow obstruction. Diagnosis is usually reached through serial voiding cystouretrography (SVCU). The preferred treatment should be extraperitoneal inguinal herniorrhaphy associated to correction of the obstructive process.

[Urethral diverticulum complicated with giant lithiasis].

Presentation of one case report of acquired urethral diverticulum in a male with giant urethral lithiasis. Urethral diverticulum are rare entities in males, the condition being more frequent in females. In general, they are acquired in up to 90% cases, the remaining 10% being hereditary Giant urethral lithiasis is also uncommon in our milieu, incidence being higher in Eastern Countries; 4-10% of urethral diverticulum are occupied by lithiasis. Diagnosis is mainly through clinical symptomatology involving the development of a perineal mass or phlegmon; however definite diagnosis is made through CUMS. Management of giant diverticulum in males is by open surgery, preferably a one-step diverticulectomy procedure; in cases such as the reported here, where urethral stenosis or a significant inflammatory involvement of the periurethral tissues is present, a two-step urethroplasty should be preferred.

[Complications of transurethral resection of the prostate: review of 408 cases].

Retrospective study conducted on 408 TUPRs performed in our centre over the time span 1985-1995. Patient's mean age was 68 (51-89) years. In 73% cases regional anaesthetics was used. Mean surgery duration (without anaesthetics) was 41 minutes for prostates under 60 g and 63 minutes for those over 60 g. 40.9% patients had in-dwelling urethral catheter. Early complications were seen in 19.6% patients, of which 9.6% were urinary infections, 4.6% major haematuria requiring transfusion of two or more units of packed blood cells and 12% relevant systemic complications. Overall mortality was 0.5% (2 patients). Late complications affected to 12.7% patients, which in 6.4% were urethral stenosis. Both mean hospital stay and mortality were low. We conclude that TUPR morbidity is not trivial, emphasizing the occurrence of urethral stenosis and urinary infection. In spite of the frequency of these complications, we believe this to be the choice procedure for most patients who require surgical treatment for benign prostate hyperplasia.

[Inguinal varicocelectomy with sedoanalgesia. Preliminary experience].

Presentation of 12 cases of inguinal varicocelectomy under analgesic sedation. Details relative to surgery, type of anaesthesia used, and preliminary results are reviewed. We conclude that this technique is excellent because it allows a monitored surgical procedure well tolerated by the patient, and which it would even allow ambulatory surgery and could an alternative to laparoscopic surgery of the varicocele.

[Intermittent aspiration in the treatment of urinary fistulas following cutaneous ureteroileostomy].

Two patients who had developed a urinary fistula following cutaneous ureteroileostomy are described herein. The foregoing condition was successfully treated conservatively with intermittent aspiration via the stoma. This treatment modality was generally performed using regular periods of application and aspiration pressure. The common complications of cutaneous ureteroileostomy are briefly described. Attention is focussed on urinary fistula, an uncommon complication, and the possibility of resolving the foregoing condition in a short period of time by aspiration via the cutaneous stoma before resorting to endourologic or surgical alternatives.

[Uro-andrologic alterations in Wolfram syndrome].

The association of diabetes mellitus, diabetes insipidus, neurosensory changes and optic atrophy is known as Wolfram's syndrome. Herein we report on a patient with hypogonadism, pyelocaliceal ectasia and anejaculation. Although associated urological disorders have been reported before, this is the first case of anejaculation coexisting in the same patient reported in the literature. The possible etiopathogenesis is discussed.

[Endoscopic removal of the ureter prior to nephroureterectomy. Preliminary analysis].

AIM OF THE STUDY: To describe a simplified technique for nephroureterectomy based on a prior endoscopic disconnection of the ureter or transurethral circumcision of the ureteral orifice. PATIENTS AND METHODS: From November 1993 to December 1997 we treated 16 patients diagnosed with cancer of the renal pelvis of proximal ureter, using this technique. Mean age was 68.8, 15 males and 1 female. RESULTS: There was no operative or postoperative complications. Mean follow up was 17 months and the mean hospital stay was 7.2 days. CONCLUSIONS: We believe that this is an easy technique to learn, that significantly cut down the operating time, reduce postoperative complications and it is adequate for upper tract urothelial cancer treatment.
