Abstract

The authors underline the diagnostic accuracy of transurethral bladder ultrasonography in the estimation of local infiltration of bladder tumors. The study was conducted on 21 patients who underwent either endoscopic resection or cystectomy. The clinical staging obtained by transurethral echography was compared with the pathological one. The results obtained by either method were comparable in all cases.

A simple test for the detection of intraoperative rectal injury in major urological pelvic surgery.

We describe our experience with a simple inexpensive test with 2 practical uses: 1) to detect unrecognized intraoperative rectal injury and 2) to assess the adequacy of repair of rectal injuries.

Complications of radical cystectomy and urinary diversion: a retrospective review of 675 cases in 2 decades.

A retrospective review was performed on all 675 patients who underwent radical cystectomy and urinary diversion during 2 decades. Of the patients 197 were treated from 1969 to 1979 (group 1) and 478 were treated from 1980 until 1990 (group 2). The mean age of patients in group 1 was 56.7 years versus 64.2 years in group 2 (p < 0.001). The overall operative mortality rate in both groups was 2.5%. A total of 215 patients (31.9%) experienced postoperative complications (within 30 days of surgery). The morbidity rate was nearly identical between the 2 groups (32.0% for group 1 versus 31.8% for group 2, p = 0.962). Of note, however, there was a decreased incidence of wound infections and wound dehiscence among the patients in group 2 compared to group 1. Long-term complications occurred in 198 of the 675 patients (29.3%). At followup group 1 had a 35.5% incidence of long-term complications versus 26.8% in group 2 (p = 0.022). Most notably there was significant improvement in the incidence of ureteroenteric anastomotic strictures when comparing groups 1 (11.2%) and 2 (5.2%) (p = 0.006).
