[Results of repeated adenomectomies in high-risk patients].

It is reported on 76 patients who were operated on due to an adenoma of the prostate and simultaneous cystolithiasis. The bilateral adenomectomy of the prostate is justified in geriatric patients who are endangered by a secondary failure of other organ systems. The mortality of this selected number of patients is high in simultaneous adenomectomy with lithotomy despite progress in operation technique, anaesthesiology and treatment with antibiotics. On the other hand, all bilaterally operated patients survived so that we recommend this procedure in all risk patients.

[Lymphography in testicular tumors].

In 45 patients with tumours of the testes (5 seminomas, 40 nonseminomas) the pretherapeutic lymphographic diagnosis could be histologically tested after a retroperitoneal removal of lymph nodes. The lymphographic security was more than 82%, 4 diagnoses each were falsely positive and falsely negative. The sensitivity was 81%, the specifity 83%. With these results the lymphography meets the requirements which are made upon a diagnostic method. It shall be relevant to therapy. An increase of the security by additional examinations (tomography and cavography) is possible. Taking into consideration its limits the bipedal lymphography belongs to the obligatory spread diagnosis in tumours of the testes, its results allow an estimation of the spread of the tumour, the therapeutic effect and the prognosis of the tumour disease.
