New method of postprostatectomy bladder irrigation.

Bacterial filters have been used to sterilise the hospital water supply in order to provide irrigant for postprostatectomy irrigation. This method was compared retrospectively to bladder irrigation derived from a still on the ward. Postoperative bacteriuria was similar in both groups of 75 patients, occurring in 23.7% of patients irrigated from the still and in 20% of patients irrigated via the filters. The bacterial filter proved reliable and as safe as using water from the still.

Cephradine prophylaxis in transurethral procedures for carcinoma of the bladder.

The value of cephradine prophylaxis in reducing urinary infection was assessed in 243 patients undergoing endoscopy for bladder carcinoma. Patients were randomised either to receive 3 peri-operative doses of cephradine or to receive no antibiotic. Urine specimens taken on the fifth post-operative day showed a significantly lower urinary infection rate in those patients receiving cephradine prophylaxis.

Traumatic rupture of the testis.

We present 6 cases of traumatic rupture of the testis. Early scrotal exploration is indicated in this condition and may involve either repair or removal of the injured testis. The extent of microvascular damage to the testis determines the outcome of a repair operation.

The role of urodynamics in female urinary stress incontinence.

The cystometrograms of 61 patients with a history of stress incontinence and no other urinary symptoms were evaluated. Of the sixty-one patients, seven had unstable bladders and in seven of the patients stress incontinence could not be demonstrated. It was concluded that all patients with stress incontinence in whom surgery is being contemplated should be subjected to urodynamic study regardless of their history.

Does the use of stained maggots present a risk of bladder cancer to coarse fishermen?

A case-control study in West Yorkshire has been used to investigate possible risks of bladder cancer amongst those fishermen who used azo-based dyestuffs to stain maggots or who purchased ready coloured maggots. No risks have been found, although the confidence limits of the estimates are wide. These data refer to exposures over ten years ago and it is possible recent changes in fishing practice, if they have occurred, are not yet assessable due to the long mean latency seen in bladder cancer when exposure to carcinogens is not great. This paper does not suggest the general use of these substances is without hazard, merely that no risk is associated with the study group and that the chemicals under study are not a major cause of bladder cancer.
