Simultaneous open prostatectomy and inguinal herniorrhaphy.

We report our results in 18 patients who had simultaneous open prostatectomy and inguinal herniorrhaphy between 1969 and 1976, and present our criteria for patient selection, operative technic, and postoperative results. The incidence of postoperative wound infection and recurrent hernia was 5.6% and 0 respectively, which compares favorably to results of herniorrhaphy and prostatectomy performed separately. The historic development of this procedure and the results of previously reported series are reviewed.

Cloacogenic carcinoma.

Cloacogenic carcinoma is a rare tumor of the anorectal region originating from a persistant remnant of the cloacal membrane of the embryo. The tumor accounts for 2-3% of anorectal carcinomas and occurs more than twice as often in women. Most tumors present as fungating or ulcerating lesions, but the tumor may arise in anal ducts and present as a submucosal mass. Wide abdominoperineal resection is the treatment of choice with a five year survival of 50%. Metastases occurs to the inguinal lymph nodes in more than 50% of the patients at sometime during the course of the disease with distant metastases occuring most commonly to liver and lungs.
