Bladder replacement by ileocaeco-urethrostomy or ileo-urethrostomy with a reservoir after cystoprostato-vesiculectomy for bladder cancer. A functional evaluation.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the function of the intestinal segments used to replace the bladder after cystoprostato-vesiculectomy. The series included 30 patients, 10 of whom underwent clinical, radiological, urodynamic and electromanometric investigations. Seven patients had an ileocaeco-urethrostomy (ICUS) and 3 had an ileo-urethrostomy with a reservoir (IR). The results were good in all patients and there was no sign of tumour recurrence. All were completely continent during the day but during the night only those who observed the 2-h intervals between voiding were continent. The radiological findings for 1 patient showed grade I asymptomatic vesicoureteric reflux. In all cases, periodic pressure waves were observed during electrocystomanometric tests at basal levels, with the IR patients showing waves higher in frequency and lower in amplitude. Prostigmin induced a significant variation in motor activity in IR patients only. The urodynamic tracings showed an almost physiological flow in both groups. Cystomanometry revealed good compliance in both types of new bladders. The height and width of contraction waves during filling was greater in ICUS than in IR patients. Good perineal sphincteric activity was demonstrated by electromyography. Low passive resistance was indicated by the urethral pressure profile. Preliminary analysis of data indicated good functional micturition and renal function in both ICUS and IR patients. Slight differences were found between the two intestinal segments used for bladder replacement.

[Comparison between isteropac and a new non-ionic contrast medium for hysterosalpingography (B-15000)].

The authors refer the results of a double blind hysterosalpingographic study with a traditional ionic contrast medium (Isteropac) and a new non-ionic one (B-15000). Both the contrast have provided good quality images, without significant intolerance. Moreover the new non-ionic contrast medium has shown an easier utero-tubal transit with a sensible reduction of the examination length and a better diagnostic result.

Rounded atelectasis: considerations on its radiological diagnosis.

Rounded atelectasis is a particular form of peripheral lung collapse, adjacent to the pleura and causing a pulmonary opacity, often resembling a neoplastic mass. Its early identification avoids further investigations with more invasive techniques, especially unnecessary thoracotomy. The aim of this report is to contribute some case studies to the body of information which characterizes this radiographic and tomodensitometric entity; aspiration biopsy can possibly be performed to resolve diagnostic uncertainties.

[Hysterography and hysteroscopy. Comparative study of 50 patients].

Hysterography and hysteroscopy have been compared in the diagnosis of endouterine benign pathology, in a group of 50 patients, complaining meno-metrorrhagia, sterility, infertility or amenorrhea. Hysterography resulted more sensible (95.3%), but less specific (86.3%) than hysteroscopy (88.8% and 95.6%).

Ileocaeco-urethroplasty after total cystectomy for bladder cancer.

Eleven cases of ileocaeco-urethroplasty, performed over a 2-year period, are presented. The patients had low grade bladder cancer infiltrating into but not extending beyond the muscle layer (B-T3a). Following radiotherapy a total cystectomy was performed up to the verumontanum; afterwards the prostatic cuff was anastomosed to an ileocaecal segment. The patients have been followed up for 13 to 39 months. One died from metastases after 30 months. The others are alive and in good psychological condition, with satisfactory micturition. We believe this surgical option deserves more careful consideration.

[Peritubal adhesions and hysterosalpingography].

Hysterosalpingography cannot directly show pelvic adhesions due to pelviperitonitis, salpingitis, perimetritis or parametritis. Nevertheless this method is able to evidence an eventual tubal involvement by adhesive tissue. Located pools of contrast medium around the tubae is a well known radiological sign, but not the only nor the most frequently one observed. If the adhesions include the proximal end of the tubae, the contrast pooling may be absent. This paper analyzes, in controlled series of patients with pelvic adhesions, all the hysterosalpingographic signs which can indicate an adhesive tubal involvement.

[Prone position in hysterosalpingography].

The authors discuss the importance of prone hysterosalpingography to the aim of a careful tubal examination. Nearly all the complete or partial tubal obstructions, observed during supine hysterosalpingography, have been resolved by the simple prone position. The high percentage (91%) of successes, without pharmacological help, recommends the routine use of this simple method in all cases of doubtful tubal obstructions.

[Pharmacological test with cerulein during manometric cholangiography via external biliary drainage].

The manometric post-operative cholangiography through external drainage is now a method of everyday use. However in some cases the substenotic appearance of the terminal bile tract and of the Oddi's sphincter gives rise to doubts as to the real cause of this alteration. Caerulein solves the functional hypertone. It also starts a good peristalsis of the terminal bile tract, reducing the intrabiliary pressure and causing an evident transpapillary passage. Thus, the use of this substance allows a differential diagnosis between organic or functional stenosis.

[Congenital pseudarthrosis of the clavicle: roentgenographic appearance and discussion of the aetiological and pathogenetical theories [author's transl].

The authors briefly reviewed the anatomic and radiological pattern of the congenital pseudarthrosis of the clavicle, with the main aetiological and pathogenetical theories. They also report their personal experience about 2 patients, stressing the peculiarity of this affection compared with others similar in their radiological pattern. They underline the coexistence, in one of the two cases, of the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, suggesting a single vascular aetiology and pathogenesis.
