ABSTRACT
Between 1/2/89 and 31/1/92 we have studied 300 old patients (the average patient age was 72 years). We used scores of sexual functionality to study the accordances between voluntary and spontaneous erection, the characteristics of the erection per age, the frequency of intercourse per age, the sexual preferences in males and females. Also the partner's extrangement has been valued. These factors together with the socio-economic conditions, in the same body causes represent an important obstacle in the sexuality of the old man.

The recent introduction of endourology and accumulated experience has led to the development of concepts regarding the effective role of conservative surgical treatment in cancer of the upper urinary tract. The Authors report their experience in 59 patients with cancer of the upper urinary tract; 36 (61.2%) underwent radical surgery whereas 23 (38.9%) were treated using conservative surgical therapy. The results of this retrospective study confirm the role of conservative surgical therapy in cases at an initial stage of cancer development, together with an attentive endourological follow-up.
