Use of the colon as a conduit for urinary diversion.

The use of a colonic conduit for urinary diversion has a definite place as a salvage procedure after an unsuccessful ileal conduit, ureterosigmoidostomy, rectal bladder substitutes, or vesicobaginorectal fistulas. Under these conditions, correction by means of a colonic conduit has been accomplished in eight patients. A colonic conduit is a safe surgical procedure due to its low mortality and complication rates. It also alleviates some of the pitfalls of the ileal conduit, such as free reflux of urine and stomal stenoses.

Mesonephric carcinoma of the female urethra.

Mesonephric carcinoma of the female urethra is rare arising from vestiges of the Wolffian duct and is particularly of gynaecological or urological interest. It has been treated once successfully by radical anterior pelvic exenteration. By more conservative methods of treatment such as transurethral resections, radiation or topical application of thio-tepa it is poorly controlled. The diagnosis is established by a histological pattern reminiscent of the mesonephros.
