[Ureterovesical reimplantation. Our results].

We evaluated the results and complications of 85 ureteroneocystostomies performed from 1978 to 1987. These varied according to the etiology of the disorder; the success rate was 100% for malformations, 87.5% for gynecologic ureters, and 80% for stenosis of the end of the ureter. Several surgical techniques were employed. The Politano-Leadbetter procedure was the most widely-used (40% of cases), and the Cohen technique achieved the best results (100% success rate). All the failures (7.1% of the cases) were due to stenosis of the reimplanted ureter.

[Metabolic changes in the patient with recurring lithiasis. Our cases].

Over a period spanning six months, 69 patients with lithiasis were selected for evaluation of mineral metabolism. Hypercalciuria, particularly renal, was the metabolic disorder that was commonly detected. A high incidence of altered uric acid metabolism was also observed. The importance of correct diagnosis and treatment of hyperparathyroidism is underscored because of the extraordinary benefit afforded to these patients. Correct patient selection has resulted in a lower incidence of those with normal metabolic parameters and has thus maximized the usefulness of these studies.

[Kidney traumatism. Evaluation using computerized axial tomography].

Evaluation of kidney injuries has been controversial for a long time and urography, chiefly, and angiography were the most widely used explorations previously. We have evaluated 21 patients suffering from different degrees of renal injury by means of CAT, in conjunction with other explorations. We diagnosed nine renal contusions, five subcapsular hematomas, laceration with perirenal hematoma in three cases and we detected extravasation of the contrast in five patients. CAT showed itself to be the best method in the study of kidney injuries through giving a clearer anatomic definition of the lesions, whilst also carrying out a functional evaluation of the viscera. Obviously, in severe haemodynamically unstable injuries intraoperative evaluation of the lesions is the best diagnostic and therapeutic method.
