SCROTOSCOPY - A PROMISING FUTURE - OUR PRELIMINARY EXPERIENCE
No full textScrotoscopy is a new endourologic technique for the exploration of the scrotum. After distention of the tunica vaginalis space with saline, a standard arthroscope was employed in 20 cadavers and subsequently in 5 patients before full surgical exploration for hydrocele (I case), testicular biopsy (3 cases), or orchidectomy (1 case). There was a clear view of the testis and epididymis. The procedure was easy, and there were no major complications. Scrotoscopy could potentially be performed on an outpatient basis. Its indications in infertility appear to be particularly promising
Congenital polyps of the posterior urethra in children. Review of the literature and observations on 2 clinical cases
No full textThe incidence of post-operative urinary tract infection in patients with ureteric stents.
No full textDespite the many advantages provided by the ureteric stent, it produces a foreign body reaction and increases the risk of infection. We undertook a study on the rate of infection in a group of paediatric patients with ureteric stents; 40 ureteric stents, 6 to 9 F, were used in 36 children undergoing the following procedures: 18 pyeloplasties, 20 antireflux ureteric reimplantation and 2 uretero-rectal anastomoses. Only patients with sterile urine pre-operatively were included in the study. All received antibiotic cover in the post-operative period. Positive urine cultures were found in only 3 patients (7.5%). In spite of this low incidence, the urine specimens collected from all children 1 month after removal of the stent showed a much higher incidence of infection. It was concluded that ureteric stenting is a safe procedure with a low rate of infection provided that antibiotic cover is given
