Initial complications and late results in dismembered pyeloplasty.

A total of 109 dismembered pyeloplasties has been reviewed and examples of initial complications and their management are discussed. These early complications do not preclude excellent long-term results. Over-all followup studies show resolution of pain, hematuria and infection in the vast majority of patients. X-ray results have since, in general, improved or stabilized. No nephrectomies have been done subsequent to the repair of the hydronephrosis.

Primary neoplasms in vesical diverticula: report of 10 cases.

Of 10 patients with primary neoplasms in vesical diverticula 2 died within 2 years of diagnosis and 8 survived more than 2 years (6 free of disease). These results are contrasted to the relatively poor survival of patients reported in other series. Early diagnosis and adequate treatment are stressed.

Selective renal angiography: its value in renal transplantation.

To date angiography has been the most precise diagnostic modality for the evaluation of a transplanted kidney. In the immediate postoperative period angiography can clearly demonstrate the integrity of the vascular anastomoses, and in most cases helps to differentiate between acute tubular necrosis and acute rejection. It is also helpful in the evaluation of the transplant kidney later in the postoperative period, since it can provide some estimate of the vascular effects of chronic rejection and distinguish between hypertension secondary to chronic rejection or renal artery stenosis. Serial isotope techniques may play a more important role in the evaluation of the transplanted kidney in the future, but at present angiography is the diagnostic modality of choice at the Cleveland Clinic.

A new technique for urethrography.

The male urethra can be demonstrated following intravenous urography by having the patient void against the partial obstruction produced by a penile clamp. The clamp is useful for both the normal or stenosed male urethra.
