[Evaluation of the results of the treatment of male urethral stricture with a follow-up of more than 5 years]. / Essai d'appréciation des résultats des traitements des rétrécissements de l'urètre masculin avec un recul supérieur à cinq ans.

149 cases of urethral stricture were treated in the Urology Department from 1971 to 1984. All of these patients have therefore been treated with a minimal follow-up of 5 years. There were 87 cases of post-traumatic stricture, 53 of whom were lost to follow-up during the survey, 8 died and 26 patients were able to be reviewed. The remaining 62 cases consisted of post-infectious strictures, with 37 patients lost to follow-up during the survey, 1 patient who died and 24 patients who were reviewed. The patients reviewed were assessed according to the criteria of the SFU (French Urology Society) survey. Direct vision internal urethrotomy was performed in 33 cases with 18 very good or good results (54%), segmental resection was performed in 10 cases with 7 very good or good results, urethroplasty was performed in 4 cases with 2 good results and 2 urethral dilatations were performed with 2 good results. The failures were essentially treated by more complex surgery (urethroplasty).

[Can the hormone-resistance of cancer of the prostate be predicted from the initial biopsy?]. / Peut-on prévoir l'hormono-résistance d'un cancer de prostate à partir de la biopsie initiale?

We present 271 prostatic adenocarcinomas with a follow-up of between 11.5 and 18 years, treated by palliative hormone therapy. Multivariate analysis defines three groups. Group 1 (78 cases): with a normal survival; Groups II and III: with poor survival. In this group, treatment is ineffective.
