ABSTRACT
In 24 infants (age 1-4 years) with urolithiasis a good and recurrence-free long-term prognosis is shown in 15 patients with infected stones under following conditions: early diagnosis and operative treatment without residual stones, immediate therapy of bacteriuria and close-meshed follow-up controls. In these 15 infants the morbidity peak was in the second year of life. However in the remaining 9 infants with calcium oxalate calculi recurrent stones did occur on an average of 6 years despite of non-infection. The incidence of urolithiasis in the first to sixth year of life was 1:5 in comparison with the school age.

The authors report on their first experience obtained in the field of transurethral sonography in cases of tumours of the urinary bladder. Sonography is a method without complication and risks. TNM classification of urinary bladder tumours is possible. A special advantage of this method of investigation is that sonography can be performed directly before transurethral tumour resection. Moreover, during the postoperative period, sonography can be combined with any kind of control cystoscopic investigation. The determination of the depth of infiltration and extension of the tumour is a prerequisite of therapeutic procedures in cases of cancer of the bladder.

In the present paper the priapism is described as a urological emergency case. Only by an aimed operative treatment in combination with a basis therapy during the first 48 hours the loss of potency is to be avoided. After a short description of the physiology, etiology, diagnostics and therapy the experiences of seven treated patients are discussed.
