Bone scanning: its lack of value in the follow-up of patients with breast cancer.
Three hundred and fifty-four women with primary operable breast cancer had a bone scan performed within 6 weeks of a simple mastectomy. Eight (2.3 per cent) were positive, but 7 of these patients had radiological evidence of bony metastases. Follow-up bone scans 1 year postoperatively on 278 patients showed only 12 (4.3 per cent) positive, and of these, 9 had other radiological evidence of metastatic disease. At 2 years postoperatively there were 13 (9.2 per cent) positive bone scans amongst 141 patients. Only 2 of these 13 had no other evidence of metastases. Although a bone scan is a useful investigation in patients with bone pain, there is no place for routine bone scanning in either the staging or follow-up of women with operable breast cancer.
Antireflux ureteroileal anastomoses in humans.
It is now apparent that the standard total cystectomy and Bricker procedure, by eliminating the ureterovesical junction with its reliable antireflux mechanism, markedly reduces the protection of the upper urinary tracts. In an attempt to restore this protective principle, the subserosal ileoureteral antireflux procedure was devised and subsequently performed in 6 patients with infiltrating bladder carcinoma. The operation is technically easy to perform, it is not time consuming and has consistently prevented ileoureteral relux without causing obstruction. There have been no serious complications, no episodes of pyelonephritis or urinary leakage and no evidence of renal functional deterioration as measured by serum creatinine and IVP. Although it is still to early to predict the eventual long-term results our experience with the first 6 patients with the antireflux ileoureteral anastomosis suggests that this modification of the original Bricker procedure offers superior protection to the upper urinary tracts.

Bird's nest filter causing symptomatic hydronephrosis following transmural penetration of the inferior vena cava.
We report a case of symptomatic hydronephrosis caused by transcaval penetration of a Bird's Nest filter. Perforation of the wall of the inferior vena cava (IVC) following insertion of a caval filter is a well-recognized complication. Whilst two cases of hydronephrosis have been described with Greenfield filters, no case involving a Bird's Nest filter has been reported previously.
