[T1 bladder tumors. Can they be considered superficial?].

The authors report about a series of 60 cases of superficial (Ta and T1) bladder tumors and study their evolution towards infiltration according to the grade, size and number. 16% of the T1 tumors evolved towards infiltration and/or metastatic spread after a period of 42 months. In our opinion, T1 tumors can be regarded as superficial tumors. However, our therapeutic attitude is cautious because of pejorative factors of prognosis: high grade, multiple foci, and size exceeding 5 cm.

[Results of detubulate enterocystoplasty. Apropos of 17 cases].

From January 1988 to October 1989, 17 patients underwent radical cystectomy for bladder cancer. They had a bladder replacement by Hautmann pouch. Good results were obtained after a period of observation of 6 to 24 months. Two patients died. Hyperchloremic acidosis was observed in 20% cases. The urinary continence was achieved in 13 patients who were willing to wake up twice every night. One patient preferred the collecting device. Our study showed that the Hautmann pouch is a particular low pressure reservoir with a capacity of 200 ml to 800 ml, and assessed the mechanism of loss of urine at night in one case. The urinary continence was achieved after a good training period and depended on patient's cooperation. This technique permitted to obtain a very satisfactory diurnal and nocturnal continence in our patients, however a longer follow up is mandatory to confirm the efficiency of this method on long term basis.

[Comparative study of tubulate enterocystoplasty and low pressure bladder. Apropos of 20 cases].

The goal of this presentation is to report the results on morbidity and continence of 20 consecutive patients who, from January 1985 to December 1988, underwent bladder reconstruction after cystectomy for bladder cancer. In ten cases the neo-bladder was a classic ileocystoplasty and in the ten others it was a "low pressure neo-bladder". We compared the two groups although they were not randomized. There was no stadification difference in tumors nor in clinical status. The clinical results were described. There have been four temporary urinary fistulas in the group of low pressure bladder (LPB), and four in the group of classic ileocystoplasty (CI). In the group of LPB, 7 from 8 patients were completely dry day and night and voided every two for three hours while among the 9 patients with CI, 4 were continent day and night.

[Role of the unstable bladder in certain pathologies of the lower urinary tract].

The authors report their experience of 57 cases of unstable bladder, 20 cases of which were neurogenic in origin. It is a frequent disease encountered in 19% of cases. The sex ratio is one male/one female. Infants are not spared (17 cases). Unstable bladder is a urodynamic concept; therefore, diagnosis of certitude is based on cystometry. The analytic study enables the authors to underline the clinical symptoms, to establish the urodynamic criteria of detrusor hyperactivity and to enumerate the side effects on bladder and renal function. The different etiologies, organic or functional, of detrusor hyperreflexia are exposed. Finally, the therapeutic possibilities are discussed.
