[Rupture of the female urethra in pelvic fractures: report of 2 cases]. / Rupture de l'urèthre féminin au cours des fractures du bassin: à propos de deux observations.

Urethral trauma after fracture of the pelvis is rare in women due to the mobility and short length of the urethra, which is consequently better protected in the case of trauma than the male urethra. Vaginal trauma is sometimes associated due to the intimate contact between the urethra and vagina. A pelvic and perineal examination must be systematically performed in all women presenting with pelvic trauma to avoid the morbidity resulting from late diagnosis of urethral trauma. Early surgical operation allows precise repair of the lesions, ensuring a good functional result.

[Tumors of the upper urinary tract in patients following bladder tumors: multicentric locations or seeding? Apropos of 14 cases]. / Tumeurs de la voie excrétrice supérieure chez les patients suivis pour tumeur de vessie: localisations multi-centriques ou greffes? A propos de 14 observations.

The occurrence of upper urinary tract tumors has been studied in 479 patients followed for bladder cancer: The incidence rate is low (2.9%) but increases with time (mean: 58 months). Some patients are more exposed: those who underwent repeated transurethral resections of Ta-T1 multifocal bladder carcinoma. Retrograde and voiding cystourethrogram seems to be useful to select a group "at risk" during the follow-up of patients with bladder tumors treated by endoscopic resection: a yearly excretory urography for upper urinary tract survey should then be performed.
