Since many years renal cysts have been treated by percutaneous puncture and successive aspiration. The introduction of various sclerosing substances has been associated with this manoeuvre. In our study we examined 44 patients with renal cysts submitted to percutaneous puncture, aspiration and injection with 95% ethanol. We thought right to leave a small pig tail catheter so that the sclerosing substance could be easily and completely eliminated allowing the adhesion of the cystic walls in the following days, without any accumulation of cystic and/or exudative liquid. The follow up (12-24 months) has shown no relapsing in 40/44 cases. Only in 4 patients a cyst was present, but with dimensions lower than 30% of the original volume.
The authors report their experience in the diagnosis and treatment of 10 cases of vesicosigmoidal fistula. In accordance with the literature the most frequent presenting symptoms were of urinary origin. For the diagnosis urography was helpful, cystography and cystoscopy allowed the observation of a fistulous orifice, while barium enema confirmed, or removed probable doubts about the nature of the intestinal pathology. Surgical treatment varied from one-stage to multi-stage procedures.
The use of parenteral nutrition in patients operated on for cystectomy is a basic post-operative therapeutic aid used for maintaining an adequate state of nutrition. In the present paper, the authors report the results of a study conducted for the purposes of comparing the efficacy of protein-sparing parenteral nutrition versus TPN.
The Authors present four cases of major pyelocaliceal obstruction secondary to parapelvic cyst. The treatment was surgical in all four cases and consisted in the cruentation of the wall of the cyst.
The authors describe a case of adrenal-renal heterotopia. The embryological basis for this anomaly and its clinical significance are reviewed.
