[Ambulatory urological surgery].

Ambulatory surgery offers to patients to be treated on an outpatient basis. Strict criterious, social, surgical and medical must be associated to authorize this type of hospitalisation. From January 1998 to December 1999, 1882 patients (46% of our operative activity) were treated on an outpatient basis, to undergo an endoscopic surgery (66%), conventional surgery (20%) or other (14%). 9 patients remain a supplementary night because of post-operative fever in 5 patients and an incomplete recovery in 4 patients. No patient was rehospitalized for complication. In this series, ambulatory surgery has proved its advantages, without loss of patients' security, if selection criterious were respected.

[Management of percutaneous nephrolithotomy complications by shock wave lithotripsy. A report of 82 consecutive cases].

In this paper, authors assessed the complication rate of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) through a consecutive series of 82 PCNL performed on 80 patients with renal calculi (48 men and 32 women). Patients' mean age was 42 years. Stones were located in the pelvis or lower calyx in 75% of cases with a diameter exceeding 20 mm in 56%. 11 Patients had intraoperative problems: one ureteral false passage, one renal perforation by a ureteral stent, three cases of hemorrhage, three cases of punctate perforations of excretory cavities. In one case, nephrostomy tube fell and could not be replaced. 6 patients had post operative complications: three patients had postoperative fever, one patient developed acute pyelonephritis and two patients had transient urinary leakage after nephrostomy tube removal. After reviewing the literature, authors conclude to the low complication rates of PCNL.

[Testicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Report of 2 cases].

We report two cases of non Hodgkin malignant lymphoma of the testis observed in two patients 36 and 32 years old. Diagnosis was made on pathological examination after orchiectomy. One patient had an involvement of the lung and Waldeyer's ring and the other presented cerebral involvement. Despite combination chemotherapy and external beam radiation therapy, the disease progression was rapid and fatal in the first patient (19 months) while the second had multiple cerebral relapses and died by disease progression 21 months after orchiectomy.

[A triple association: renal malacoplakia, bilateral vulvar hypertrophy, upper limb algodystrophy].

The authors report a case of malakoplakia of the left renal parenchyma, an uncommon site for an inflammatory disease first described in the bladder by Michaelis and Guttmann in 1902 and Von Hansmann in 1903. This case was observed in a 24-year-old girl with no urological history, presenting with bilateral vulval hypertrophy and reflex sympathetic dystrophy of the upper limbs, in whom malakoplakia of the left kidney was discovered incidentally. Intravenous urography showed two large kidneys with a stretched appearance of the renal pelvis. Pathological examination of the partial nephrectomy specimen revealed the diagnosis of malakoplakia, an inflammatory diseases of the renal parenchyma. The pathogenesis has been only partially elucidated, but probably involves a disorder of macrophage function.

[Anterior anal sphincter approach in the management of urethral-rectal fistulas: a case report].

Urethrorectal fistula is a rare disease which is easy to diagnose, but which essentially raises a problem of the choice of the most appropriate surgical technique. A review of the literature on the subject shows that, over the last decade, various teams have developed the anterior and posterior trans-anp-sphincteric approaches. We report a case of an acquired urethrorectal fistula associated with anal incontinence treated via an anterior trans-ano-rectal perineal incision. The exposure provided by this incision facilitates simultaneous cure of the fistula and repair of the anal sphincter.

[Drainage by echo-guided nephrostomy in hydronephrosis secondary to a pyelo-ureteral junction in a single kidney syndrome in a pregnant woman. Apropos of a case].

We report an exceptional case of pyeloureteral malformation which occurred on a single kidney. The malformation was discovered at 32 week of gestation when ultrasonography showed hydronephrosis. Initial treatment consisted in echoguided drainage. The patient gave birth to a live infant via normal vaginal delivery and then underwent resection of the pyeloureteral malformation with anastomotic reconstruction of the upper urinary tract.

[Hemorrhagic complications revealing renal angiomyolipoma. Apropos of 2 cases].

Renal angiomyolipomas are rare benign tumors, which are most often discovered with ultrasonography, owing to the hyperechogenicity of their fatty component, and with computed tomography. The authors report about two cases of severe hemorrhagic complications revealing a renal angiomyolipoma, for which computed tomography made a preoperative diagnosis possible.

[Abscess of the kidney. Apropos of 21 cases].

Renal abscess is rather an uncommon lesion caused predominantly by an urogenic infection. The authors report 21 cases in a period of 10 years. They describe and evaluate the actual investigation possibilities which are accurate enough to lead to the right diagnosis of renal abscess in a good rate. The evolution of the therapeutic modes is studied, with a special reference to the percutaneous drainage which is to substitute the classical surgery of this abscess. For the authors, treated in the right time and in the right way, renal abscess is nowadays a benign lesion, preserving a good prognosis for the kidney and the patient.
