Treatment of postoperative ureteral stricture by catheter dilation: a forgotten procedure.

Some postoperative ureteral strictures can be managed successfully by simple catheter dilations as shown in the cases presented herein. It appears that only one or two dilations may be necessary for prolonged resolution of the obstructive process. Internal ureteral splints may be used with equally good results. Operating intervention should be reserved for those cases in which either ureteral catheterization cannot be accomplished or dense fibrosis renders adequate long-term management by catheter dilation impossible.

Clinical dilemma in management of yolk sac tumor of childhood testis.

An "expectant" approach to management of yolk sac type testis tumors in two boys led to therapeutic failure. The rationale for such "nontherapy" in light of current knowledge is discussed. The need for more sophisticated tumor staging as well as improved chemotherapeutic approaches in treatment planning is suggested.

Comparison of polypropylene and polyglycolic acid suture in experimental vasovasostomy.

A preliminary study upon seven dogs comparing vasovasostomy using polypropylene suture to vasovasostomy using polyglycolic acid suture was carried out. Five of the seven vasa anastomosed with polyglycolic acid sutures were patent wherease none of the seven vasa anastomosed with polypropylene sutures were patent. There appeared to be less vasal inflammatory reaction where vasovasostomy had been accomplished with polyglycolic acid. This study indicates that further investigation comparing these and other suture materials in vasovasostomy is justified. It also suggests that improved results in vasovasostomy might be obtained by the use of polyglycolic acid suture.
