[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.

[Retrovesical schwannosarcoma].

Contribution of one case of retrovesical schwannosarcoma in a 23-year-old female patient, with discussion of signs and symptoms, diagnosis and treatment. Retroperitoneal schwannosarcoma is an extremely uncommon tumour. Diagnosis is always histologic and immunohistochemical. This is an extraordinary aggressive tumour, with low response to chemo- and radiotherapy. Surgery is the only curative treatment, and presents a high index of recurrence. Prognosis is sombre. We support the most radical surgical approach possible as the only definite diagnostic possibility, since it provides the best survival indexes and in any case, improves symptomatology of tumours not completely resectable.

[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.

[Partial parietal cystectomy and cystoplasty using a lyophilized human dura mater patch as an alternative in palliative surgery for bladder cancer].

Fifteen patients with infiltrating bladder carcinoma underwent partial cystectomy and cystoplasty with lyophilized human dura at our hospital from 1983 to 1988. The 5-year survival rate was 75% for stage B1, 60% for B2, 40% for C and 0% for D1. There were no intra- or post-operative deaths and the post-operative complications were few. This procedure may be useful in selected patients with bladder tumors who cannot be submitted to more radical procedures due to a coexisting pathological condition representing a high surgical risk or in elderly patients.

[Inverted papilloma of the bladder with recurrence in prostatic urethra].

Urothelial inverted papilloma is usually a solitary lesion with rare recurrences. Its behaviour is unclear, its potential for recurrence or progression is not well-known. We present a case of inverted papilloma of the bladder with recurrence in prostatic urethra after four years of follow-up. We review etiology, clinical presentation, diagnose, treatment and the present discussion about its malignancy ability.

[Statistical study of outpatient urologic care].

Attendance generated in an urology outpatients office, reaching up to 6564 visits, was studied for a complete year. Considering only the initial visits handled during that period (1968), we evaluated the following parameters: age, sex, mode of remission, data presented, type of consultation, most common type of urological pathology. No particular period of life has come out as showing greater incidence of urological pathology. Males represented twice as many visits as women. 84.29% patients had been correctly referred to the office. Sixty percent of visits happened without appropriate clinical data to support the case. Emergencies represented 13.31%, but 90% of those actually lacked such condition. Renal-ureteral lithiasis (25.57%) was the most frequently present pathology in our office, followed by benign hypertrophy of the prostate (16.07%). Urinary lower tract infections (15.59%) and inflammatory and/or congenital prepuce pathologies (14.09%) were the second most frequent ones. In this paper, we emphasize the increasing prevalence of male-related sterility visits in the outpatients environment, as well as nephrological.

[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.
