Laparoscopic nephrolithotomy: the value of intracorporeal sonography and color Doppler.
Laparoscopic nephrolithotomy was used as an alternative to open surgery in a patient who had failed extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy and whose anteriorly located stone-bearing calix precluded percutaneous extraction. Endocavitary ultrasonography and color Doppler render the procedure safe and effective; localization of the stone, selection of an optimal nephrotomy site away from large vessels and where cortical thickness is minimal, and control of fragment clearance are greatly facilitated.

[Local recurrence following radical nephrectomy for renal adenocarcinoma].
PRESENTATION: If the rate of tumoral relapse after partial nephrectomy for hypernephroma is 8-10%, this element is rarely reported in the literature after radical nephrectomy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: 159 patients (pts) have undergone radical nephrectomy for kidney adenocarcinoma. Mean age is 61.3 years (26-85 years). The mean duration of follow-up is 50.8 months (12-183 months). The patients were regularly followed by abdominal CT scan at 6 months and than yearly by CT scan and chest X-ray. CONCLUSION: Considering the poor incidence of local relapse (1.3%) after nephrectomy and in a period where economical aspect weigh on our practice, a new policy of post-operative follow-up should be carried.

Do seminal or prostatic secretions play a role in local recurrence after radical prostatectomy for localized prostate cancer?
Neoplastic cellular contamination of the surgical bed may be responsible for late local failure after radical prostatectomy. Cytology analysis of the seminal and prostatic fluid collected intraoperatively was undertaken in 30 patients. Neoplastic cells were found in 2 patients both with seminal vesicle involvement. Although it is difficult to admit that tumor spillage during surgery would be a major cause of local recurrence, the presence of tumor cells in the ejaculate may be diagnostic of seminal vesicle invasion. All patients with pathologic stage T2 had a negative cytologic finding.
