A total of 63 patients was examined by echosonography and allowed to determine the localization and size of the tumour particularly in progressed cases. The picture appearing on the video tube could be stored for about one hour and photographed for documentation. The method is considered reliable, but it is stressed that its result can be evaluated only together with those of tests applied in urology. The echo test is harmless and has no contraindications.
In 58 patients subjected to urological surgery a statistically significant correlation was found between the repolarization disorder of ischaemic origin on the ECG and the changes in the alpha-HBDH/LDH ratio. After extensive interventions and particularly in aged subjects, the level of the LDH iso-enzyme of myocardial origin may rise without myocardial infarction. The rise is due to myocardial ischaemia, as proved by the ECG.
Applied concomitantly with other methods ultrasonic testing is claimed to furnish reliable results in the diagnosis of renal disease. A total of 177 cases with radiologically confirmed urologic renal disease were tested by means of the ultrasonic method. Of the cases 128, [72.3%] were renal tumours and cysts. The echo-tests involves no risk, can be performed on outpatients, and repeated whenever necessary without special preparation.
Substitution of the ureter by means of an isolated ileal loop was performed in a young, repeatedly operated patient. The operation was successful, 3 years later the patient was free from complaints and able to work.

An attempt has been made at a fuller utilization of the information content of 131I-Hippurate in four-channel renography, recording the activities over the kidneys, heart and bladder. The four-channel system was supplemented with a digital scaler, which enabled also the volume of residual urine to be determined after renography. In functional disorder of the upper outflow tract, the examinations were performed in both supine and sitting positions. The expanded procedure has rendered the familiar method of renography more valuable and has often given essential diagnostic help when used in combination with other clinical data.
17 patients with prostatic adenoma awaiting surgery were examined. The size of the adenomas was established by palpation, cystoscopy, urethro-cystography and ultrasonography. Echographic scanning was found to yield the most accurate results.
The technique of removal of bladder tumours is discussed on the basis of experience with transurethral resection performed on 200 patients suffering from bladder tumour (113 benign and 87 malignant tumours). The indications for the intervention are as follows. With benign tumours, resection has to be given preference over exposure. When malignant tumours are operable and situated on the mobile part of the bladder, radical surgery is recommended. When the tumour is in some other position, transurethral resection is the procedure of choice.
The data of 11 patients with coral calculus have been assessed from various aspects. Observations and results are described and conclusions drawn from statistical data are discussed with special emphasis on the importance of the treatment of calculi.
