[Elimination of pain by percutaneous thermorhizolysis in patients with inoperable bronchial carcinoma (author's transl)].

The percutaneous thermorhizolysis is a relatively simple technique for interrupting root function in the paravertebral space. Pain-conducting fibers can be selectively inactivated by a thermal probe heated to controlled temperatures. In a series of 25 cases with terminal cancer pain syndrome a good to very good relief of pain was obtained in 18 cases. In 4 cases the pain relief was partial. Only in 3 cases the treatment was completely ineffective. The procedure can be applied to patients who are debilitated due to carcinoma or old age and can be repeated if necessary.

[Epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of renal tuberculosis. A report of 213 cases].

The renal tuberculosis is one of the most important manifestations of the extrapulmonary tuberculosis. There was no decrease in the number of new cases in recent years. A report is given on 213 patients with renal tuberculosis, who were treated stationary in the years 1968 and 1978. Chemotherapy was in renal tuberculosis as successful as in pulmonary tuberculosis. Nephrectomy was performed in 17.3% of the cases. Early nephrectomy is a thing of the past. The duration of hospitalisation is shortened to about 3 months. Chemotherapy should take about one year.
