ABSTRACT
UNLABELLED: Buccal mucosal graft can be used for succesfull repair in both pendulous and bulbar strictures. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We present our experience with buccal mucosal graft repair in 8 patients with onlay patch that varies from 4 to 16 cm. in length. Three pendulous, two bulbar and three panurethral strictures were repaired. These patients were observed for 36 to 60 months. RESULTS: No stricture recurrences were observed. Only one patient had lower lip paresthesia for six months.

Los injertos de mucosa oral pueden ser utilizados para la reparación satisfactoria de estenosis de uretrapéndula y bulbar. Material y métodos: Presentamos nuestra experiencia con injertos de mucosa oral en 8 pacientes. La longitud del injerto fue entre 4 y 16 cm. Se han realizado tres uretroplastias en uretra péndula, dos en uretrabulbar y tres panuretrales. El seguimiento ha sido entre 36 y 60 meses. Resultados: No se han observado recurrencias. Un paciente refirió parestesias en el labio inferior durante seis meses (AU)

We report a case of spontaneous retroperitoneal hematoma from rupture of the right adrenal in a patient with asymptomatic left renal adenocarcinoma that had been incidentally detected during evaluation to determine the cause of the retroperitoneal hematoma.

We reviewed the records of patients with genitourinary tumors that had been diagnosed and treated at the Section of Pediatric Surgery of Marqués de Valdecilla Hospital from 1974 to 1990. There were 14 such tumors. Of these, 12 (85.7%) were Wilm's tumor. This tumor type is the subject of the present study. Regarding its clinical features, 33.3% of the cases consulted for hematuria and an abdominal mass was the most common finding in the course of the disease (83%). We underscore the usefulness of CT and ultrasound in making the diagnosis. In the cases where these noninvasive imaging techniques were used, their efficacy rate was 100%. Together with IVP, these constitute the fundamental diagnostic tools. With regard to treatment, radical nephrectomy was performed in all cases and combined with radio and chemotherapy according to protocol. Pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of Wilms' tumor in all the cases. Following the NWTS classification, there were 2 stage I,5 stage II, 2 stage III and 3 stage IV. Apart from tumor stage, the histological features significantly influenced the diagnosis. The survival rates for those with favourable or unfavourable histologic features were 70% and 36%, respectively.
