Successful management of postoperative hemorrhage of the kidney by selective transcatheter embolization.

A case is reported where postoperative hemorrhage from the kidney was successfully managed by selective transcatheter embolization of the bleeding vessel. A review of the literature reveals that only three papers have been published dealing with selective embolization for controlling hemorrhage from the kidney. Our case is another illustration of the possibilities and usefulness of this method of treatment in the management of persistent postoperative hemorrhage.

Flavoxate hydrochloride in the treatment of detrusor instability.

42 patients with 'unstable bladder' were treated with flavoxate hydrochloride. A previous treatment with parasympathicolytic drugs (propantheline bromide and/or emepronium bromide) was unsuccessful. The instability of the detrusor was proven by a urodynamical investigation. Flavoxate hydrochloride is a papaverine-like smooth muscle relaxant. The results and the complications of the treatment are discussed.

Renal transplantation into an ileal conduit.

Since the selection criteria for renal transplantation have become less stringent as a consequence of improved graft survival and decreased mortality, patients with severe structural anomalies of the lower urinary tract can now benefit from renal transplantation into an ileal conduit. This is illustrated by two succesful cases. The opertative procedure is discussed, and the possibilities for the future are mentioned.
