[Appendico-vesical fistula secondary to acute appendicitis. Review of the literature]. / Fístula apendicovesical secundaria a apendicitis aguda. Revisión de la literatura.

Acute appendicitis, particularly pelvic, may cause a suppurative process that spontaneously drains to the bladder and an appendicovesical fistula may result. The pelvic appendix and the bladder may occasionally become fused in an inflammatory and necrotic focus, directly creating a fistula. A case of vesicointestinal fistula secondary to appendiceal pelvic peritonitis is described and the cases reported in the literature are reviewed.

[Renal transplant and cutaneous ureteroileostomy. Report of 2 cases]. / Trasplante renal y ureteroileostomía cutánea. A propósito de dos casos.

Congenital or acquired pathology of the lower urinary tract currently does not preclude renal transplantation in patients with end-stage nephropathy. We report two cases of renal transplantation with ureteroileal cutaneous diversion in patients with a nonfunctional lower urinary tract due to bladder fibrosis secondary to urinary tuberculosis. We discuss the possibilities of the urodynamic study in the preoperative evaluation of patients with similar conditions.

[Treatment with ESWL of lithiasis in the transplanted kidney]. / Tratamiento mediante ESWL de la litiasis en el riñón trasplantado.

Report on one case of lithiasis in a transplanted kidney treated successfully with extracorporeal shockwave lithotrity. This is considered to be the choice therapeutical method when there are no bone interposition or urinary tract obstruction which may preclude the correct removal of lithiasis fragments.
