ABSTRACT
Bilateral and synchronic testicular tumor is an unfrequent fact (0,17% of germinative tumors of testicle), being most cases seminomas. We present the case of a male, 25-year old patient underwent a bilateral radical orchiectomy for bilateral and synchronic testicular tumor. The result of anatomopathological examination revealed bilateral seminoma (pT2 in both testes). Patient received four courses of adjuvant chemotherapy (etoposide and cisplatin) for metastases (N2, M1). The patient is without evidence of disease two years after orchiectomy.

El resultado del examen anatomopatológico reveló seminoma bilateral (pT2 en ambos testes). El paciente recibió 4 ciclos de quimioterapia (etopósido y cisplatino) adyuvante por enfermedad metastásica (N2, M1). 2 años después de la orquiectomía, el paciente está sin evidencia de enfermedad

Presentation of one case of scrotal hernia in a man of 64 years old patient. Diagnosed by cistography and ultrasound and treated by herniorraphy and posterior transuretral litolaplaxy of a vesical litiasis and RTU of prostate. Postoperative urography showed normal vesical morphology.

OBJECTIVE: 30 patients were included over a 5-year period in a protocol divided into two uniform cohorts (age, surgical risk, prostatic volume, etc.). Both groups are compared based on morphological effectiveness, functionality, quality of life parameters, etc. Also a comparison on the efficacy of anterior commissurotomy vs. conventional TUR is carried out. METHOD: After 12 hours, a cohort of 15 patients had a Collins' loop section of the vesical neck anterior aspect, a technique described by Keitzer (1969). RESULTS: Results were optimal and superior to those obtained with TUR. We conclude this technique is effective, and emphasize the validity of the concepts described by Gil Vernet in 1956.

RATIONALE: Presentation of 12-year experience accrued in the surgical treatment of the acquired bladder neck disease. Based on Riches' experience (1961), posterior capsulotomy, although exceptional in terms of indication, was effective in the treatment of 26 patients with early failure of standard endoscopic techniques. MATERIALS AND METHOD: Over a 12-year period, 945 prostatectomies were entered in a protocol, 305 (32.2%) open surgery and 640 (67.8%) transurethral resections. Incidence of sclerosis was 5.03% (48 patients). Treatment of second group with TUR and/or cervicotomy failed in 26 (45-58%) patients. Posterior capsulotomy was effective in 100% patients. RESULTS: Mean follow-up has been productive, and exceeds 4 years based on clinical, radiologic, endoscopic and urodynamic parameters.

OBJECTIVE: To present our experience in the diagnosis and treatment of 4 children with eosinophilic cystitis. METHODS: 4 children (3 boys and 1 girl) with eosinophilic cystitis are described. The mean follow-up since diagnosis was 30 months, the mean age was 7 years and the main symptom was hematuria. The clinical features, etiology, course of the disease, pathological findings and diagnostic methods are reviewed. The definitive diagnosis was established by the pathological findings. None of the patients had a recurrence. CONCLUSIONS: The diagnosis of eosinophilic cystitis is exclusively based on the histological findings. There are no clinical or complementary pathognomonic signs. Like most authors, we believe that the immune system plays a decisive role in the appearance of this disease.

OBJECTIVES: To determine the incidence of renal parenchymal tumors in adult patients over the last 30 years, analyze the therapeutic approach and compare radical vs conservative surgery, the surgical principles involved and the survival rates achieved. METHODS/RESULTS: We have reviewed 260 cases of renal parenchymal tumors in adults and the utilization of conservative vs radical surgery over the last 30 years. This tumor type has been significantly influenced by the availability of US for routine evaluation, which has led to changes in the clinical features of this condition and the surgical expectations. CONCLUSIONS: Although the techniques of conservative surgery of the kidney have remained unchanged over the last 50 years, the indications have changed. The incidence of nononcological conditions has decreased while the number of incidentally discovered tumors has increased. The tumor is diagnosed earlier, of smaller size and lower histological grade and stage.

The paper describes the experience accumulated over a 9- year period on surgical treatment of coralliform lithiasis. The treatment implied the use of an original technique inspired in the surgical concepts divulged by Gil-Vernet, Kelly and Dufour. Ninety-four patients have been effectively treated with this technique, known as the Bivalve Transinusal Anathropic Nephrothomy. The surgical technique applied is described and analyzed.

The present study reports our experience in the endourological treatment of fistulas of the distal ureter in renal transplant patients. The temporary urinary exclusion or dry technique was effective in 8 of the 10 patients. We advocate the use of this simple and safe technique which achieves excellent results.
