Extraction of ureteral calculi with the Dormia basket.

The Dormia basket was successfully used for stone extraction on 260 occasions, the original technique having been slightly modified and the indications for instrumental techniques substantially extended. The results are analysed primarily under the aspect of complications. These were of minor severity in 69 cases (26.4%) and of major severity in 14 cases (5.38%). Instrumental stone extraction offers the best chances if the stone is located in the distal third of the ureter and is not larger than 10 mm. The possible complications inherent even in this procedure emphasize the importance of a flexible therapy in renal calculosis in accordance with the individual situation.

Value of transurethral biopsy in the diagnosis of carcinoma of the prostate.

Needle biopsy, as a simple and reliable method, has been in use for the microscopic diagnosis of carcinoma of the prostate. On the evidence of published observations and of the present study, transurethral biopsy is regarded as a useful supplementary procedure, 10 per cent of the malignant tumours of the prostate being inaccessible to the other current biopsy techniques. The cases in which it has been found to be of particular diagnostic value include 1. carcinoma of the prostate arising from the anterior lobe or from the periurethral area; 2. occult carcinoma: 3. negativity of successive needle biopsies in spite of clinical suspicion of prostatic carcinoma; 4. malignant growth involving the neck of the bladder when cystoscopy fails to identify its primary site.
