We studied 62 patients who had undergone transverse colon conduit urinary diversion. This procedure was done for malignant disease in 57 patients and for benign conditions in 5. The immediate postoperative complication rate was 25 per cent, while in 13 per cent of the patients long-term complications were observed.

We studied 100 patients undergoing nephrectomy for living related renal transplantation. after completion of tissue typing preoperative studies included urinalysis and culture, creatinine clearance determination, excretory urography and renal arteriography. Patient characteristics, preoperative test, surgical approach, complications, long-term followup and cost factors were reviewed. There was no mortality and morbidity was minimal except for wound complications. Renal function generally remained normal. Donor nephrectomy is a worthwhile and safe procedure with an acceptably low incidence of postoperative complications.
We report a case of renal adenocarcinoma and a solitary lung lesion thought to be metastatic disease. Further evaluation revealed the lung lesion to be a benign thymoma. This is the first case of such an association reported in the English literature.
