Marshall-Marchetti Operation and Modified Pereyra Procedure for Stress Urinary Incontinence / 대한비뇨기과학회지

The most common cause of stress urinary incontinence in the women is the characteristic abnormality of the anatomic supports of the vesical neck and proximal urethra. For the successful surgical management of stress urinary incontinence, these abnormal anatomic defects should be corrected adequately. Herine, we report 5 cases of Marshall-Marchetti operation and 2 cases of modified Pereyra procedure for stress urinary incontinence. The follow-up periods of 7 cases range from 6 months to 4 years. The mean length of catheter drainage postoperatively was 9.4 days, with a range of 5 to 15 days. All cases had excellent results without postoperative urinary retention or urinary tract infection. But, only one case undergoing Marshall-Marchetti operation recurred urinary incontinence 3 months later.

Microscopic Examination and Bacterial Culture of the Prostatic Secretion of Chronic Prostatitis: Its Diagnostic Significance / 대한비뇨기과학회지

This is the report of 75 cases of chronic prostatitis, confirmed by microscopic examination of the 3 glass test of urine and the prostatic secretion and bacterial culture of the prostatic secretion, who visited Department of Urology, St. Mary's Hospital from 1 December 1980 to 30 June 1981. The results were as follows: 1. The result of microscopic examination of the 3 glass test of urine revealed that the first and second glass urine were within normal limit (over 90%), but on the third glass urine, 69 cases (92.0%)showed WBC more than 10/HPF. 2. Microscopic examination of the prostatic secretion showed WBC more than 10/HPF in 69 cases (92.0%)and second glass in 6 cases (8.0%)showed normal findings, but many bacteria were isolated on bacterial culture of the prostatic secretion. The positive findings of prostatic secretion culture were noticed in 63 cases (84.0%). Microorganism was not grown in culture of 12 cases (16.0%), which was shown over WBC 10/HPF on microscopic examination of the prostatic secretion. Therefore, if chronic prostatitis is suspected, both methods should be used in combination because many bacteria could be detected in bacterial culture even when no inflammatory findings were shown in the microscopic examination of the prostatic secretion. In diagnosis of chronic prostatitis, the combined use of the microscopic examination and bacterial culture of the prostatic secretion were more significant than urinalysis alone.

Clinical Observation on Ureteral Tailoring in 13 Cases / 대한비뇨기과학회지

A clinical observation was made on 13 cases (15 ureters) who were performed ureteral tailoring at the Department of Urology, Catholic Medical College, from 1968 to 1981. Clinical observation was included age and sex distribution, indication for operation, methods of operation, duration of indwelling ureteral splint catheter and complications. The results were as follows: 1. Ureteral tailoring was performed in the case of severe dilated ureter due to ureteral obstruction, V-U refiuxand/or megaloureter. 2. Most case had undergone antirefiux procedures except 2 cases: 12 ureters of 10 cases underwent antirefiuxprocedure of Politano-Leadbetter technic and the other one was Paquin technic. 3. Mean duration of keeping splint catheter was 11 days. 4. Temporary nephrostomy was performed in 4 cases due to poor renal function. 5. Complications had been observed in 6 cases, which included septicemia, ureteral stricture, uremia, urineleakage and urinary infection.

Statistical Observation on In-patient in the Past 2 Years / 대한비뇨기과학회지

A statistical observation was made on 525 in-patients in the Department of Urology Catholic Medical College, during the period from the January 1. 1978 to December 31, 1979.
