[Transurethral resection of bladder tumors--indication, technique and results (author's transl)].

In the period 1965 to 1975 treatment of bladder tumors was carried out in 730 patients. A transurethral tumor resection was performed in 86% of which 722 patients were reviewed. The results have been analyzed with respect to the grade and the stage of the tumor. There is a 55% survival with papilloma and transitional cell carcinoma grade 1 and 15% with grades 2, 3, squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. The morbidity rate was low, 1.1%. Indication and technique for transurethral bladder tumor resection are reported in detail. From several points of view the transurethral resection is better than the total cystectomy.

[Epithelial tumors of the urinary bladder in the first twenty years of life (author's transl)].

Eighty two cases of epithelial tumors of the bladder in the first two decades of life have been reviewed from the literature. A case of a transitional cell carcinoma, grade I--II, in a 16-year-old boy is presented. Transurethral electroresection was done and there was no recurrence, two years postoperatively. In 70% of all cases a hematuria was found. The epithelial bladder tumors in children have a better prognosis, a lower tendency to recur and a lower grade malignancy than tumors in adults. Treatment of choice is transurethral or suprapubic tumor excision without drug chemotherapy or radiation therapy.

[Studies concerning the usefulness of catgut, PGA and polyester for abdominal fascia closure (author's transl)].

The abdominal fascia incisions of 133 rabbits were closed either with plain gut, chromic gut, PGA or polyester threads. The breaking strength of the wounds were determined tensiometrically at different time intervals and the tissue was examined histologically. For a three-week period the strength of the abdominal wall depends significantly on the intactness of the threads. PGA produces minimal inflammatory reactions, but loses its strength after a fortnight. Since longitudinal incisions are endangered by severe muscle pull, this material cannot be recommended because of the possibility of wound disruption and the formation of hernias. The loss of strength of catgut plain and catgut chromic starts later. Catgut causes inflammatory reactions within the wound area leading to loss of strength of the sutured tissue. Thus incisions of the abdominal fascia should not be closed with catgut. The non-resorbable suture material polyester shows satisfactory strength and minimal tissue reaction. As long as there is no synthetic suture material with mild tissue reaction and late resorption the fascial closure should be sutured with polyester.

[Sacrococcygeal chordoma in childhood].

A extremely rare case of sacrococcygeal chordoma in the infancy is communicated and it is discussed about the diagnose, therapy and clinic of these tumors with regard to the literature.

[Storage of histamine in the blood following liberation from liver and antrum through trypsin: protective mechanism or a factor promoting pancreatic shock].

In dogs histamine was predominantly released from liver and antrum by intravenous injection of trypsin. The histamine content of the human liver was found to be high enough to allow the invasion of mg amounts of histamine into the circulation after histamine release. In blood histamine was rapidly taken up by corpuscular elements. At present it cannot be decided whether this mechanism leads to detoxification or to a more powerful action of histamine in the microcirculation.
