Renal arterial embolization in cases of renal neoplasms. Own experiences.

Observations of 17 embolizations of the renal artery carried out in cases of renal neoplasms are reported. In the light of intraoperative observations the optimal timing of the operation after embolization was established to be 48-72 hours. Attention is called to the possibility of complications in the form of spinal cord damage after renal arterial embolization.

Recurrences in primarily infected and uninfected urolithiasis.

An analysis was carried out of 640 patients treated because of urolithiasis at the Urological Clinic of the Medical Academy in Warsaw in the years 1971--1974. Factors conducive to stone formation were analyzed. In infected urolithiasis, different bacterial floras were found in men and women. The importance of infections acquired in hospital by patients is emphasized. In primarily uninfected urolithiasis there were 35 per cent recurrences, as against 53 per cent recurrences in infected urolithiasis.

Antibacterial prophylaxis in patients after prostatectomy.

Seventy-five patients with prostatic adenoma and sterile urine cultures were treated prophylactically after operation, with one of four antibacterial drugs (Nitrofurantoin, Mandelamine, Biseptol, Chlorocid). Administration of Nitrofurantoin and Mandelamine in the postoperative period was found to be advantageous. In patients receiving these drugs, incidence of urinary tract infections was reduced by one half compared with a control group of untreated patients.

Contribution to the evaluation of operability limits of tumours.

The case of a patient with cancer of the sigmoid is presented. Thanks to surgical procedures, radiological treatment and chemotherapy, his life was prolonged by 8 years. It is worth noting that the original tumour gave later distant metastases to the ureter, right kidney, bladder, intestines and lymph nodes.
