[Closed cystostomy by puncture. Modified translumbar puncture technic for the treatment of single renal cyst].

Due to the frequent relapses in the treatment of kidney cysts by simple aspiration, the authors present a technical variation of the same, which may avoid the use of intracystic sclerosing substances. Owing to the simplicity of the method which may be performed in a clinic, its low morbility and probable effectiveness, we feel that it may be a useful procedure as a first step in the treatment of simple kidney cysts.

[Results and complications of CT-guided puncture biopsies with a wide-lumen puncture needle].

The results obtained in 187 CT-guided biopsies using a wide lumen needle are described. Biopsies in the thorax, abdomen, retroperitoneum and in the pelvis have been evaluated. A retrospective analysis of the material has shown an accuracy of 97.8% and sensitivity of 95.8%. The total complication rate was 8%. Amongst 120 biopsies in the thorax, 6.6% developed a pneumothorax. Therapeutic drainage was carried out in fifteen patients.

[Kidney biopsy puncture, kidney aspiration puncture with fine needle, examination of urine sediment in phase contrast. Comparative study for the diagnosis of acute rejection in kidney transplantation].

The relative importance of renal biopsy and cytological studies (fine needle aspiration biopsy and urine sediment examination by phase contrast) in the diagnosis of acute rejection episode was evaluated in 30 patients who received a kidney transplant. All patients underwent these 3 examinations simultaneously during an acute degradation of graft function. Sensitivity of renal biopsy, fine needle biopsy and urine sediment was 0.86, 0.68, 0.43 respectively. The association of fine needle biopsy and urine sediment examination increased the sensitivity up to 0.73. Renal biopsy is indicated to assess the vascular and glomerular status or in the presence of inconclusive cytological studies.

[Image-guided thin needle puncture of tumors of the gastrointestinal system. Puncture technique and handling of materials].

The image-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy in the diagnosis of gastro-intestinal tumors has reached a very high value out of other diagnostic tools. The results of this method depend directly on the technical performance (aspirator, technicians, cytologist) of the punction and processing of the obtained cytological material. The following paper is a brief communication on technical methods and experience in performing the image-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy at the university hospital of Zurich.
