[Percutaneous ablation of renal calculi].

Percutaneous removal of renal calculi under nephroscopy was attempted in 34 patients. There were 19 pyelic, 9 caliceal, 3 uretero-pyelic and 3 multifocal calculi. The attempt was successful in 30 cases, the stones being removed by immediate lumbotomy in the 4 cases where it failed; 2 caliceal calculi remaining in situ are being followed up. Complete removal was effected in 19 patients. The smaller calculi were directly removed with special forceps, and the larger ones were either fragmented with a lithotriptor or disintegrated by ultrasounds or intracavitary shock waves. The postoperative period was uneventful. Stay in hospital was reduced to 4 days on average and absence from work, to 8 days. Five patients experienced renal colics due to migration of small fragments. One case of haemorrhage was easily controlled. Percutaneous removal of renal calculi is an elegant, though delicate method which seems to be of interest in persistent or recurrent pyelic or caliceal stones, in small or medium size pyelic stones and in mobile and painful caliceal stones. It undoubtedly has its place in the treatment of renal lithiasis.

[Thrombo-embolism in urologic surgery. Prevention by heparin of antiprothrombic drugs. A retrospective report of 2,657 cases (author's transl)].

Three groups of patients undergoing urological operations were given a prophylactic regimen of either subcutaneous heparin (n = 1143), antiprothrombics (n = 944) or no medication (n = 570). Results were deemed through simple clinical criteria. They were similar for the whole of patients and for some types of surgery, pecularly protatic: Anticoagulation induced a significant lowering of the frequency of thromboembolism, heparin being more efficient than antiprothrombics. It does not increase the percentage of haemorrhages. More, peridural anesthesia is not contre-indicated by heparin. However, parietal problems appear to be more frequent among heparinized patients.

[Multisite cervico-mediastinal venous samples for radioimmunologic determination of parathormone in primary hyperparathyroidism. Results in 24 surgically confirmed cases].

Multisite cervico-mediastinal venous blood samples were collected fort the estimation of parathormone before operation in twenty four patients subsequently confirmed at surgery to have primary hyperparathyroidism. The examination made it possible to lateralise a single (single adenoma: 18 cases) or predominant lesion (multiple adenomas or hyperplasia: 6 cases), in 15 of them (62%). In patients with a single adenoma, exact lateralisation was obtained in 12 out of 18 cases (9 had selective samples with 7 accurate lateralisations). This lengthy and costly examination is essentially of value in localisation and should be used essentially in patients with virtually definite primary hyperparathyroidism and in whom the responsible lesion has not been discovered at exploratory operation.

CT features of perirectal fascia thickening after transurethral resection of prostatic adenoma.

Thickening of the perirectal fascia (PRF) has been described as a CT sign of local extension of pelvic cancers. It has been observed also after radiation therapy and various pelvic surgical procedures. To demonstrate prospectively its nonspecificity, we systematically looked for such thickening before and after consecutive uneventful transurethral prostatic resections in 17 patients presenting with benign adenomas and in one patient with an unexpected prostatic carcinoma. In six patients (33%) obvious PRF thickening appeared on postoperative CT. Thus, this cause of fascial thickening must be considered when evaluating pelvic cancers.
