[The lithotriptor "Compact" used in urinary bladder diseases].

The stroke-wave complex "Compact" is the first home-produced lithotriptor with electromagnetic system of stroke-wave generation and ultrasonic diagnosis. During its development it was possible to achieve the optimal parameters of focused waves, good technical characteristics and economic indices. The clinical use of lithotriptor has shown its efficiency in nephrolith and ureterolith remote destruction in the absence of complications connected with negative influence of stroke waves on kidneys and surrounding organs and tissues.

[Experience in the clinical application of semirigid mini-urethral endoscopes in the diagnosis and treatment of urinary bladder diseases].

We compared efficacy and safety of clinical application of modern semirigid miniureterorenoscopes (MURS) and standard hard-lens ureterorenoscopes (URS). The results of 335 transurethral endoscopic operations on the ureter have been analysed. Positive results of ureteroliths elimination by lithotripsy and lithoextraction were observed in 100 (77.5%) patients of group 1 (hard-lens URS) and in 175 (94.6%) patients of group 2 (semirigid MURS). Ureteral perforation occurred 3 times more often in group 1 patients than in group 2 (3.1 and 1.08%, respectively). A total number of complications observed in group 1 and 2 in the course of transurethral ureterolithotropsy and lithoextraction reached 6.3 and 1.08%, respectively. Ureterolithotomy was performed in group 2 eight times less frequently than in group 1 patients (2.1 and 17.9%, respectively). Ureteropyeloscopy made by semirigid MURS is a valuable therapeutic and diagnostic aid which raises efficacy of transurethral endoscopic manipulations, significantly lowers traumaticity of the upper urinary tracts and reduces to minimum the number of intra- and postoperative complications.

Periurethral polytetrafluoroethylene injections in incontinent female subjects with neurogenic bladder disease.

Urinary incontinence in female subjects with bladder instability secondary to neurogenic bladder disease is difficult to manage. Many times pharmacologic manipulation and the standard anti-incontinence surgical procedures are unsuccessful. We have found that the urethral occlusive technique using polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon) paste is highly effective in maintaining continence. We describe 6 patients who achieved complete urinary control and empty the bladder with the use of intermittent catheterization. All of the patients are extremely satisfied with the end results of urinary continence and have accepted self-catheterization well.

[A case of Menkes disease with urinary bladder hemorrhage].

We report a case of Menkes disease with urinary bladder hemorrhage. Diverticulums were found at 1 year and 3 months of age. He had repetitive urinary tract infections at 2 years old and died of urinary hemorrhage at 2 years and 9 months. Large hematoma and diverticulum were found at necropsy. In patients with Menkes disease, attention should paid to urinary complications.

Urinary bladder cancer following cyclophosphamide therapy for Hodgkin's disease.

Urinary bladder cancers following prolonged cyclophosphamide therapy are being increasingly reported. We report a case of transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder occurring 12 years after pulse intravenous therapy with cyclophosphamide for Hodgkin's disease. The mechanism of bladder carcinogenesis and the possible role of the uroprotector MESNA in preventing cyclophosphamide induced bladder cancer are discussed.

Complications of permanent bladder catheter drainage in spinal cord injury patients.

We reviewed the effect of permanent bladder catheter drainage on the course of 59 long-term spinal cord injury patients. Current renal function, findings on excretory urography and major renal, bladder, genital and urethral complications were tabulated. Although all long-term spinal cord injury patients had severe renal function, depression and abnormal excretory urograms patients with indwelling bladder catheters had a significantly higher complication rate than those managed without an indwelling catheter.
