Vesicovaginal fistulas: our experience and review of literature.

Vesicovaginal fistulas (VVF) still represent a sad complication of surgery of the female genital system. In this article an extensive review of the literature was conducted, analyzing the etiological, pathological and clinical aspects, as well as the therapeutical problems. For this purpose, we have compared the many surgical techniques proposed for treatment of VVF and have also evaluated their results. Furthermore, we report on our series of 35 patients who had undergone treatment for VVF.

[Continuous monitoring of nocturnal penile tumescence and rigidity in the evaluation of erection disorders. Preliminary data].

Nocturnal penile tumescence measurements continues to be an important step in the diagnosis of impaired erectile function. We present our experience with this technique employed on 65 patients who consulted at our andrologic center. Our results corroborate the importance of the NPR-R test with the Rigi-Scan in the evaluation of this pathology to ensure these patients receive the most appropriate treatment.

[Treatment of renal cysts by percutaneous drainage and alcoholization. Our experience].

Since many years renal cysts have been treated by percutaneous puncture and successive aspiration. The introduction of various sclerosing substances has been associated with this manoeuvre. In our study we examined 44 patients with renal cysts submitted to percutaneous puncture, aspiration and injection with 95% ethanol. We thought right to leave a small pig tail catheter so that the sclerosing substance could be easily and completely eliminated allowing the adhesion of the cystic walls in the following days, without any accumulation of cystic and/or exudative liquid. The follow up (12-24 months) has shown no relapsing in 40/44 cases. Only in 4 patients a cyst was present, but with dimensions lower than 30% of the original volume.

The vesicosigmoidal fistula: diagnosis and surgical treatment.

The authors report their experience in the diagnosis and treatment of 10 cases of vesicosigmoidal fistula. In accordance with the literature the most frequent presenting symptoms were of urinary origin. For the diagnosis urography was helpful, cystography and cystoscopy allowed the observation of a fistulous orifice, while barium enema confirmed, or removed probable doubts about the nature of the intestinal pathology. Surgical treatment varied from one-stage to multi-stage procedures.

[Protein-sparing peripheral parenteral nutrition in urologic surgery].

The use of parenteral nutrition in patients operated on for cystectomy is a basic post-operative therapeutic aid used for maintaining an adequate state of nutrition. In the present paper, the authors report the results of a study conducted for the purposes of comparing the efficacy of protein-sparing parenteral nutrition versus TPN.

Considerations regarding a case of leiomyoma of the urinary bladder.

In spite of its rarity, leiomyoma of the bladder deserves to be better known as its diagnosis is not always obvious, depending as it does mainly on urography confirmed by anatomo-pathological examination, and particularly because its treatment is simple and the prognosis always favourable, a fact worthy of note in dealing with a tumour of the bladder.

Diagnostic value of urinary cyclic AMP measurement in patients with calcium nephrolithiasis.

One hundred patients with recurrent calcium nephrolithiasis were submitted to the Pak test. At fasting state hypercalciuria was found in 27 cases, while a group of 16 further patients became hypercalciuric after oral calcium load. Only measurement of urinary cAMP excretion in both conditions made it possible to diagnose renal hypercalciuria in 9 out of 27 patients in the former group; according to test results 4 patients were expected to have primary hyperparathyroidism, but afterwards the disease was identified in only one case.

[Malignant lymphoma with primary bladder localization].

The malignant lymphoma with primary localisation in the urinary bladder rarely occurs in the clinic. The therapy essentially depends on the position and the extension of the tumour. Despite their malignity these tumours seem, however, to have a relatively good prognosis.
