The computer and your practice.

A sophisticated computer system allows a urology practice to run more efficiently and provides better control. All problems were not solved with the installation of such a system, and we developed a few problems that did not exist before computerization. However, this system has allowed our practice to grow with fewer additions to the office staff than would have been possible previously, and it has been our experience that the benefits far outweigh the problems.

Vesical exstrophy with epispadias. Twenty-year follow-up.

A case we believe to be the longest with successful anatomic closure of exstrophy and epispadias witholt reflux or incontinence is reported.

The method of repair of traumatic rupture is presented.
