[Modification of the simplified Cobb-Radge and Raz techniques in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence. Description and results].

Various surgical procedures have been described for correction of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) which have afforded different results. Modifications to these procedures have been made in an attempt to reduce morbidity and the operating time without detriment to the efficacy of the procedures. Herein we describe two procedures, the modified Cobb-Radge and Raz techniques, and report on the results achieved. In patients with no cystocele that had been submitted to the modified Cobb-Radge technique, we achieved 80.4% good results. In patients with significant cystocele, our modified Cobb-Radge technique and anterior colporrhaphy achieved a success rate of 80%, and we achieved good results in 88.3% of these cases with our modified Raz procedure.

[Conservative approach in total multicystic renal dysplasia. Our experience].

Contribution of 14 patients with Unilateral Total Multicystic Renal Dysplasia treated with conservative criteria, with particular emphasis in the absence of clinical complications, as well as the natural tendency to involution of the affected organs. Five dysplastic kidneys disappeared in the ultrasound, 4 decreased in size, 3 remained the same and 2 have been removed. Review of the literature and discussion of all the reasons why nephrectomy was traditionally indicated, explaining the reasons why we support an expecting attitude.

[Primary vesicoureteral reflux in childhood. The current aspects and future outlook].

OBJECTIVE: To discuss the current aspects and the impact of innovations on the clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). METHODS: The literature on Medline over the last five years are reviewed and the urodynamic findings in our series of children with VUR are analyzed. RESULTS: Fetal VUR and those diagnosed in children with a family history are currently considered to be the most interesting study groups from the clinical perspective. Renal scintiscanning, isotope-labelled cystography and urodynamic evaluation are well-established diagnostic methods that permit selecting the most appropriate treatment for patients with this anomaly. In our experience, 50.8% of the 128 patients in whom a urodynamic study was performed, showed changes in lower urinary tract function. Innovations in open surgery have been scanty and endoscopic treatment is increasingly utilized, although the search continues for the ideal biological material. CONCLUSIONS: The new diagnostic methods utilized in the evaluation of children with VUR will permit a better understanding of the natural history of this anomaly lead to changes in the protocols that are currently used.
