[Life expectancy in penile carcinoma (statistical evaluation of 150 penile carcinomas in the period 1912-1970)].

In the period 1912-1970 in the Göttingen area, 150 patients suffering from penis carcinoma were investigated and/or treated. With regard to method of treatment, three periods can be distinguished: 1912-1930, 1931-1948, and 1949-1970. During the first period, treatment was chiefly radiotherapy, in the second chiefly surgery, and in the third combined radiotherapy and surgery. Independent of the type of therapy and period of observation, the 3-, 5-, and 10-year survival rates were 52.5%, 46.7%, and 31.4%, respectively. The greatest life expectancy was that following combined surgical and high-voltage therapy. The importance of lymphography is emphasized.

[Carcinoma of the penis: symptomatics, therapy and prognosis (author's transl)].

During the period from 1912 through 1970, 150 cases with a carcinoma of the penis have been examined and treated in the clinics of the university of Göttingen. The preferred age of incidence was between fifty to sixty years. Primary phimosis could be verified in 17.3%, a secondary phimosis, caused by the tumor, in 5.3%. Eighty patients were graded stage I, seventy stage II and more advanced stages. Metastases to the inguinal region were observed in 60.6% out of 99 patients who had undergone lymphadenectomy. Distinctly enlarged inguinal lymph nodes proved to be metastases in only a third of the cases. The staging of a case with carcinoma of the penis, therefore, is not possible by means of clinical criteria alone but needs also a biopsy from the inguinal region. The 3-year, 5-year, and 10-year survival rates amounted to 52.5%, 46.7% and 32.4% and did not depend on treatment techniques. The most promising survival rate resulted from a combination of surgical treatment with high-voltage therapy.

[The clinical significance of extratesticular originating tumors (author's transl)].

A case of large retroperitoneal metastasis of a seminoma is demonstrated. The primary tumor was impossible to recognize clinically. The extremely scarred primary tumor was at last discovered histologically in the normal appearing testis on the same side. This experience leads to the conclusion that the diagnosis "extratesticular originating testicular tumor" not be accepted unless a "burned-out" tumor can be exluded histologically in the ipsilateral testis.

[The application of Actihaemyl in chronically inflamed and dystrophic urinary bladder (author's transl)].

The effect of automated continuous irrigation treatment with Actihaemyl on bacterial growth in the infected urinary bladder was tested using an experimental model. The result was that instillation alone of this preparation promoted growth of Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the infected bladder. With simultaneous application of Framycetinsulfate or Kanamycin the growth of Pr. mirabilis and Ps. aeruginosa was totally suppressed in the "urine", and the growth of E. coli extensively low. At the same time there was a clear reduction in the bacterial count in the coagulum that served as a substitute bladder wall. Thus a urinary tract infection is a contraindication for local treatment with Actihaemyl of a tropically disturbed urinary bladder inasmuch as an effective antibiotic is not added to the instillate. With the latter combination, however, a therapeutic trial is justified in chronic, inflammatory, dystrophic bladders.

[Sequelae of injuries on the lower urogenital system].

A description of aetiology, symptomatology, and diagnosis of traumatic lesions of the bladder, urethra, and genital organs is followed by a critical discussion of therapy. Contributions to these topics coming from round-table discussions, held at several international urological meetings during the past few years, are considered. Important points concerning traumatic lesions of the bladder, and the male, female, and infant urethra are stressed. Consideration is given to diagnostic methods and to surgical methods relative to localisation, degree, and age of urethral lesion. Complications resulting with and without therapy are laid down.
