A new biodegradable elastin-fibrin material; its use in urological, digestive and cardiovascular surgery.

A new original artificial connective matrix mainly made of elastin and fibrin-like product is used to reinforce damaged tissues and to close and restore a loss of substance in several domains of surgery: all sites in the digestive system and urinary tract; besides, it can substitute for the pericardium in iterative heart operations. In all cases, the original tissue is restored ad integrum while the biodegradable material disappears completely, without any complications.

[Placenta praevia percreta with bladder invasion: a case report].

The authors report a rare case of placenta praevia percreta with bladder invasion giving rise to the need to carry out an emergency hysterectomy in order to stop the bleeding. The literature when analysed showed the possible outcome of this complication in a woman who had already had a caesarean section and who had placenta praevia that required a second caesarean. In this situation it is almost inevitable that a hysterectomy has to be carried out to stop the bleeding. The hysterectomy should be a total hysterectomy but this can be difficult because of the invariable "fusion" that takes place between the uterus and the posterior wall of the bladder. What has to the done bladder can range from simple closure of a hole in the bladder to ureteric diversion with reimplantation of the ureter depending on how badly the bladder has been invaded. In our case after a sub-total hysterectomy had been carried out with simple closure of the bladder, it was necessary to re-operate to treat a fistula between the bladder and the cervix.

Etiological aspects and interest of early surgical management of priapism.

12 patients have been treated for priapism between March 1973 and September 1977. Etiologic conditions have been found 9 times, leaving only 3 idiopathic priapisms. Treatment of choice consisted of 8 saphenocavernous shunts, achieving detumescence in 7 cases and preserving sexual potency in 5. The precocity of operation seems of no interest to priapism itself but is mandatory to prevent secondary impotence.

Segmental urethrectomy and urethrorrhaphy for treatment of fresh and late traumatic urethral lesions.

For 16 years we have used segmental urethrectomy with end-to-end urethrorrhaphy for treatment of traumatic urethral lesions, in preference to two-stage urethroplasties. The approach has been transperineal, retropubic, and if necessary transpubic. Good results in 41 cases with long-term follow-up allow us to say that this is a good operation. It provides in two thirds of the patients a correct and stable urethral stream, complete bladder emptying, and does not affect urinary control or sexual function if this was normal following the injury.

Symphysiotomy or transpubic approach to traumatic strictures of the posterior urethra.

The trans-symphyseal or transpubic approach is a useful technique which gives a very good exposure of the prostatic and membraneous urethra. We have used it on seven patients, for repair of post-traumatic strictures of the posterior urethra, complementary to the transperineal route in most difficult cases. This technique has allowed a correct anastomosis between the distal and the prostatic urethra in all these cases. The short-term results are good and no lasting orthopaedic sequelae have been observed.
