[Endoscopic anterior commissurotomy (EAC) versus TUR as the treatment for the neck obstruction syndrome. Our experience. The results].

OBJECTIVE: 30 patients were included over a 5-year period in a protocol divided into two uniform cohorts (age, surgical risk, prostatic volume, etc.). Both groups are compared based on morphological effectiveness, functionality, quality of life parameters, etc. Also a comparison on the efficacy of anterior commissurotomy vs. conventional TUR is carried out. METHOD: After 12 hours, a cohort of 15 patients had a Collins' loop section of the vesical neck anterior aspect, a technique described by Keitzer (1969). RESULTS: Results were optimal and superior to those obtained with TUR. We conclude this technique is effective, and emphasize the validity of the concepts described by Gil Vernet in 1956.

[Eosinophilic cystitis in children. Study of 4 cases].

OBJECTIVE: To present our experience in the diagnosis and treatment of 4 children with eosinophilic cystitis. METHODS: 4 children (3 boys and 1 girl) with eosinophilic cystitis are described. The mean follow-up since diagnosis was 30 months, the mean age was 7 years and the main symptom was hematuria. The clinical features, etiology, course of the disease, pathological findings and diagnostic methods are reviewed. The definitive diagnosis was established by the pathological findings. None of the patients had a recurrence. CONCLUSIONS: The diagnosis of eosinophilic cystitis is exclusively based on the histological findings. There are no clinical or complementary pathognomonic signs. Like most authors, we believe that the immune system plays a decisive role in the appearance of this disease.

[A retrospective study of surgery for tumors of the renal parenchyma in adults].

OBJECTIVES: To determine the incidence of renal parenchymal tumors in adult patients over the last 30 years, analyze the therapeutic approach and compare radical vs conservative surgery, the surgical principles involved and the survival rates achieved. METHODS/RESULTS: We have reviewed 260 cases of renal parenchymal tumors in adults and the utilization of conservative vs radical surgery over the last 30 years. This tumor type has been significantly influenced by the availability of US for routine evaluation, which has led to changes in the clinical features of this condition and the surgical expectations. CONCLUSIONS: Although the techniques of conservative surgery of the kidney have remained unchanged over the last 50 years, the indications have changed. The incidence of nononcological conditions has decreased while the number of incidentally discovered tumors has increased. The tumor is diagnosed earlier, of smaller size and lower histological grade and stage.

[Vestibular approach in urinary incontinence in women. Original technic. Experience. Results].

Presentation of an original technique to treat S.U.I. in women. This technique contains in itself many others, both in terms of the conceptual anatomical base on which it is inspired, and in the possibilities of its surgical application. Lisfranc's approach, supra-meatic and infra-clitoridean, allows to section both the pubo-urethral ligament and Colles fascia thus reaching into the Retzius. It makes possible the use of solid anatomical elements (pelvian fascia, elevator, urethro-vaginal septum, etc...) thus allowing to suspend the pelvian base from fascia ligaments or from the abdominal wall muscles. Sixty patient who had simple S.U.I. received treatment, with a 95% efficacy index based on the evaluation of the urodynamic, bacteriological and clinical studies. We conclude with an evaluation on the validity of the results obtained by emphasizing the high efficacy index, simplicity, low morbidity and short hospital stay.

[Bivalve transinusal anatrophic nephrolithotomy. Anatomic considerations. New technique].

The paper describes the experience accumulated over a 9- year period on surgical treatment of coralliform lithiasis. The treatment implied the use of an original technique inspired in the surgical concepts divulged by Gil-Vernet, Kelly and Dufour. Ninety-four patients have been effectively treated with this technique, known as the Bivalve Transinusal Anathropic Nephrothomy. The surgical technique applied is described and analyzed.

[Anatomical and technical foundations of the non-hemorrhagic treatment of simple hydrocele. Technical contributions].

The efficacy of the conventional surgical techniques in the treatment of simple hydrocele has been well-established. However, further insights into the embryological anatomy of the testis and its layers have led to the development of new surgical concepts. We have conducted a retrospective study after using an "avascular" technique (extravaginalization-marsupialization) with optimum results. 120 patients treated by the Wilkinson vaginal reversal were assessed for efficacy and complications. The working hypothesis and the principles based on embryological anatomy are discussed. The results and relevant data of the treated group of patients are presented.

[Surgical complications after 160 renal transplantations. Experience. Comments].

The present study reviewed the complications observed in 160 renal transplants that had been performed from 1982 to 1992. Complications were observed in 27 cases (16.87%), which falls within reasonable limits and is similar to the complication rate reported elsewhere. The treatment utilized in these cases was highly effective and only 3 grafts (1.87%) were lost. The following complications were observed: obstructive uropathy (7 cases, 4.37%), fistula (18 cases, 11.25%), vascular complications (1 case, 0.62%) and other complications (1 case, 0.62%).

[Gonadal stromal tumor in childhood. Report of a case. Comments].

A case of testicular gonadal stromal tumor in an 8-month-old boy is described. Patient evaluation revealed no hormonal alterations. The patient underwent orchidectomy and has remained tumor-free at two years follow-up, which meets the well-established criteria for benign tumors. A detailed anatomopathological description is presented.

[The surgical treatment of anterior hypospadias. Apropos 590 cases (1966-1988). The indications and results. The current trends in surgical treatment].

The surgical treatment of hypospadias is very complex. The objective is to obtain a satisfactory urinary and genital function with an equal morphological, anatomical and aesthetic result. Our contribution covers twenty-two years of surgical multicentre experience (590 cases). We evaluate the surgical indication, results, complications, associated malformations and study protocols. We have objectively evaluated the evolution of the indications, as well as the application of different techniques depending on the extent of urethral malformation.

[Surgical treatment of hypospadias. Apropos of 700 hypospadias surgically treated (1966-1988). Indications and results. Current trends of the surgical treatment].

The surgical treatment of hypospadias is very complex. The objective is to obtain a satisfactory urinary and genital function with an equal morphological, anatomical and aesthetic result. Our contribution covers 22 years of surgical multicentre experience (700 cases). We evaluate the surgical indication, results, complications, associated malformations and study protocols. The anterior forms 590 (82%) were treated using the Duckett Magpi, Mathieu, Duplay and Leveuf techniques. Posterior forms 110 (18%) with a wide variety of techniques. Results have been encouraging in both. We have objectively evaluated the evolution of the indications, as well as the application of different techniques depending on the extent of urethral malformation.

[Liposarcoma in childhood. Report of an exceptional case. Review of the literature].

This paper describes a case of liposarcoma of exceptional paratesticular location (first in the literature described in infancy). The case corresponds to a 5-year-old boy. The influence of the histology, location of the tumour and possibility of complete surgical exeresis is fundamental with regard to prognosis and evolution. Pediatric experience is extremely limited and we may superimpose the treatment in children of that carried out in adults (more case histories), in whom multimodal therapy (surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy) concludes with encouraging results. The updating of previously published cases reveals the predominance of myxoid histology, a lower index of relapses in infancy and a high peak of incidence in early infancy.

[Primary embryonic rhabdomyosarcoma of the prostate. An unusual location].

We report on an 18-year-old patient with embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the prostate who presented with urinary retention. An ultrasound-guided percutaneous punction corroborated the presumptive diagnosis. The patient was submitted to the appropriate combined treatment modality of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery; however, the virulence of tumor spread led to a fatal outcome less than one year following treatment.
