[Malignant tumorous urogenital fistula. Apropos of 19 cases].

Malignant tumors were responsible for 19 cases of urogenital fistula, including 10 ureterovaginal and 9 vesicovaginal fistulae, treated between 1974 and 1982. Details of the cases are reviewed and the therapeutic attitude to adopt towards urogenital fistulae of malignant tumor origin discussed. Recommended steps are: repeat plastic surgery as soon as possible after the postoperative appearance of the fistula, conservation of the kidney for as long as possible, and small intestine replacement of the ureter in selected cases. External as compared with internal urinary shunts are preferred in cases of advanced lesions with renal failure, tumor recurrence, or cobalt therapy. Cutaneous ureterostomy in Y with a single median or right lateral skin opening appears to be an excellent bypass procedure enabling a left colostomy to be performed, either primarily or secondary in case of rectal invasion.

Adult

[Tumors of the upper urinary tract. Apropos 35 cases].

Thirty-five cases of upper urinary tract tumors treated by the authors in an interval of 10 years (1979-1988) are presented. After a detailed analysis of the cases some general considerations on the anatomopathologic forms of upper urinary tract tumors, stage classification, symptoms and clinical and laboratory diagnosis, therapeutical indications are made.

[The therapeutic approach in superficial epithelial tumors of the bladder. Apropos 98 cases].

Between 1985 and 1990, superficial epithelial tumors of gallbladder were found in 98 patients. Peculiar aspects such as age, sex, symptoms, clinical and laboratory diagnosis, surgical treatment, additional interventions, postoperative treatment, anatomo-pathological examination, pTNM classification and tumoral grading, postoperative recurrences, occurring after the primary and adjuvant treatment, were analysed. After some general comments, the authors point out that in their experience the lowest rate of postoperative recurrences was obtained by a multimodal treatment, that is surgery and vesical instillations with cytostatics or B.C.G. vaccine, according to EORCT scheme.

Adult

[The present-day aspects of urogenital tuberculosis. Comments on 113 cases].

One hundred and thirteen new cases of urogenital tuberculosis, admitted and treated in the interval 1980-1986 (an average number of 16 cases yearly) are reported. The analysis of these patients includes age, sex, bacillary history, symptoms, clinical forms, diagnostic methods, therapeutical management and late results. Seven cases are detailed. It is concluded that the treatment with the actual tuberculostatic drugs is efficient provided the urogenital tuberculosis is early detected. In case this disease is late detected the treatment is associated, drug and surgical.

Adult

[Malignant infiltrating bladder tumors. Comments on 157 cases].

157 cases of malignant infiltrative tumors of urinary bladder admitted and treated in a 5-year interval (1983-1988) are presented. Considerations on age, sex, urological history, associated urological disorders, symptoms and clinical examination, diagnostic methods, surgical procedures and their association with other non-surgical procedures, postoperative evolution, pathological examination of the resection sample, tumoral stage, recurrences are made. Five cases treated by various methods are presented in detail. The clinical and laboratory diagnosis, therapeutical methods and the staged therapeutical indications are also commented upon. In the malignant infiltrative tumors of urinary bladder the authors recommend the partial cystectomy which, when correctly indicated and performed, gave similar results as total cystectomy. It is also underlined that in case of an urographically silent kidney the attitude should be conservative and the treatment of the malignant infiltrative tumors of urinary bladder should be multimodal.

Aged

[2 cases of priapism treated by cavernous body shunts].

The authors present their personal experience in connection with two cases to priapism, one of which was solved by unilateral saphenocavernous anastomosis in a leukemic patient, and the second one by bilateral caverno-spongious anastomosis in a patient with idiopathic priapism. Both interventions had a good outcome. The emergency character is stressed, of this type of intervention, that should b performed bilaterally and followed by anticoagulant treatment.
