[Treatment of localized carcinoma of the prostate].

Review of the treatment of localized prostate cancer. The major attention is devoted to the surgical treatment. The radical retropubic prostatectomy is used most frequently. Problems of the indication, anatomical foundations and the technique of the surgery are discussed. The radical perineal prostatectomy is used less frequently. The radiation therapy is an alternative to the surgical treatment. The radiation therapy is recommended by urologists in patients, for whom is this treatment considered as more advantageous.

[Iatrogenic lesions of the ureter in women].

The changing etiology of ureteral lesions is associated with the expanding spectrum of ureteroscopic, gynaecological, coloproctological and vascular operations. During 1989-1995 the authors treated 60 women with a ureteral lesion, mostly in conjunction with gynaecological operations (37 patients). The assessment of the diagnosis was sometimes delayed. The most frequent initial treatment was the establishment of percutaneous puncture nephrostomy (in 47 instances before delayed reconstruction). The authors discuss the time interval between the development of the ureteral lesion and its reconstruction. The most frequent treatment was ureterorhaphy, ureterocystoneoanastomosis or Boari's flap.

[Vesicovaginal and urethrovaginal fistulae].

The authors discuss treatment of vesicovaginal fistulae (VVF) in 36 patients and in six patients urethrovaginal fistulae treated in 1989-1995. The most frequent cause of VVF were iatrogenic lesions after hysterectomy. Occlusion of the fistula was performed 12x by the transvesical approach, nine times by a combined transperitoneal and vaginal approach, four times by a transvesical and transperitoneal approach, eight times by the vaginal route only and three times the authors had to make a continent derivation of urine of the sigma-rectum "pouch" type. Continence by primary operation was achieved in 86%, in urethrovaginal fistulae one reoperation was necessary. With the development of radical operations in the lesser pelvis in women the incidence of iatrogenic lesions is rising slightly, however when the technique of minimal invasive reconstruction urology is used, the prognosis of occlusion of fistulae is favourable.

[Pregnancy after urinary bladder augmentation].

Pregnancy after augmentation enterocystoplasty is an increasingly frequent phenomenon in women with congenital anomalies or a neurogenic urinary bladder. Possible complications during pregnancy and the period near delivery and their treatment is described by the authors, based on the case-history of a 22-year-old primipara after ileocoecal augmentation. The authors summarise the so far scarce data reported in the literature.
