ABSTRACT
The analgesic effects of intravenously administered indomethacin, pethidine and metamizol were compared in a series of 169 patients with ureteric colic. Complete pain relief was obtained in 59% in the indomethacin group, in 52% in the pethidine group and in 44% in the metamizol group. The observed side effects were not serious. On the basis of the study results indomethacin can be recommended as an alternative drug in the treatment of ureteric colic.

16 patients with massive haematuria due to bladder cancer or cytostatic or radiation cystitis have been treated with intravesical instillation of 4% formalin solution. The method proved to be effective in the control of bleeding in 15 cases, but produced complications two of which were severe. This mode of treatment should thus be limited to debilatated patients in whom other conservative methods fail to control the bleeding. Complications and mode of action of formalin instillation are discussed.
