View original source ↗Export metadata ↓

Abstract

The intracordal injection of polytef (Teflon)-glycerine suspension has proved most effective in relieving dysphonia due to unilateral recurrent nerve paralysis. However, if errors in the technique of injection are committed or if patients are not properly selected, a potentially good result will not be achieved or the voice will be made worse.

Lithiasis in the ileal conduit and the continent urinary pouch: two cases and a review.

We present 2 patients who developed stones (6 and 57 g) in the ileal conduit; the first stone was passed and the second required surgical removal; its nidus was a surgical staple. After a review of the literature which includes 25 other cases of stones in ileal conduits, as well as over 20 cases of stones in continent urinary pouches, it is concluded that the use of metallic staples in the construction of the ileal conduit or the continent urinary pouch should be abandoned.
