Transpubic Urethroplasty / 대한비뇨기과학회지

Urethroplasty was done in 6 patients with posterior urethral disruption with pubectomy and end to end anastomosis or full thickness tube graft of the urethra. The following results were obtained. 1. Transpubic approach provided excellent access to posterior urethra in every case. 2. Immediate cystostomy was done in all cases and reconstruction of the urethra later. 3. One of two tube graft and three of four end to end anastomosis were successful. 4. There were no orthopedic problem, incontinence or sexual impotency.

Clinical Observation on the Hypospadias / 대한비뇨기과학회지

A clinical observation was done on 24 cases of hypospadias during the past 5 years from January 1975 to December 1979. 1. The hypospadia had high incidence rate among the anomalies of G-U tract (22.5%). 2. Of 24 hypospadias, 16 cases(66,7%) were penoscrotal, 5 cases (20.8%) were perineal and 3 cases (12.5%) were penile. 3. Cryptorchism was the most common associated anomaly and it occupied 33.3% of 15 associated anomalies. 4. Of 20 urethroplasty, 10 cases (71.1%) were successed by buried skin tube method and over-all success rate was 60%.

Radionuclide Evaluation of Renal Function / 대한비뇨기과학회지

The Radionuclide study provides reproducible information about total and differential renal function quickly and easily. The major limitation of radionuclide examination is that it does not provide a sensitive and accurate illustration of the anatomic change of the kidney but the excretory urogram provides an excellent evaluation of anatomic change in the kidney, but is a poor indicator of renal function. Therefore, the excretory urogram and renal radionuclide (rectilinear renal scanning and renogram) renal function evaluation and to discuss the result of its use comparing to 34 cases of severe abnormal anatomic change in excretory urogram. 1. The urolithiasis was 12 cases (50%) and renal tuberculosis was 7 cases (21%). 2. 18 cases (53%) was non visualization in IVP and 5 cases (28%) was maintained the renal function. The most common causes of non visualization were urolithiasis (5 cases) and renal tuberculosis (5 cases). 3. 12 cases were hydronephrosis and 6 (50%) cases were maintained good function in radionuclide study.
