[Bilateral synchronous adrenal metastasis of renal adenocarcinoma].

Contribution of one case of renal adenocarcinoma with synchronous metastasis in both adrenal glands. Treatment was radical surgery with palliative resolution and steroid replacement therapy. Brief comments on this uncommon clinical situation and review of other author's experience.

[Prognostic implications of urological complications in the renal transplantation].

We describe the urological complications occurred in 302 patients undergoing first cadaveric renal transplantation in 16 years in the University Hospital. two series can be distinguished: "Historical" (1976-86) and "Actual" (1986-92). Thirty patients (10%) presented 33 (11%) urological complications: 73% urinary fistula and 27% ureteral stenosis. The vast majority (80%) were early complications (before 90 days). No statistical difference was observed in the survival rates of both the patients and grafts presenting or not urinary complications, except in the last series. A multivariate analysis was performed to examine the influence of prognostic factors. These analysis revealed that cold ischemia time and organ retrieval were the technical variables significantly related with urologic complications among historical and global series. Only recipient age was associated with urologic complications in actual series.

[Surgical aspects of renal transplantation].

Expansion of donor criteria and more efficient use of the donor pool are needed to address the current organ shortage. Results of renal transplantation in older patients support broader recipient selection. To improve intraoperative donor and recipient management, and decrease the rate of delayed graft function, and refine surgical techniques to address more complicated patients are also attempts to expand donor pool. Use of hepatitis-C-positive donors is not safe in hepatitis-C-positive recipients for non-life-saving organs.

[Experimental applications of shock waves].

High-energy shock waves (HESW) are widely accepted for disintegration of renal and ureteral stones. In the last years, HESW have been applied to tumor cells in vitro and tumors in vivo. In the present paper we summarized the effects of HESW on cells, the interaction mechanisms between HESW and tissue, and the combined treatment of HESW and biological response modifiers and cytostatic drugs.
