RESUMO
Electrohydraulic lithotripsy was performed on ureteral calculi of various sizes and composition in 10 female mongrel dogs. Stones were successfully disintegrated in eight dogs with an overall 80 per cent success rate. Short- and long-term effects of the procedure on the ureter and the kidney are discussed.

The present experiment was designed to study several challenging therapeutic questions that remain disputable or unanswered: (1) Whether urethral healing post-trauma is influenced by the use of an indwelling urethral stent as an adjunct to suprapubic diversion; (2) the incidence of urethral stricture formation after immediate or delayed urethral repair; (3) the incidence of urethral stricutre formation after partial or complete urethral disruption; and (4) further assessment of radiographic findings in urethral injury. Herein is described the final conclusions we found to be relevant to this experiment.

A case of malakoplakia in a patient with generalized sarcoidosis is reported. A discussion of the histologic and clinical characteristics is presented. This is the sixth case in the literature of concemitant malakoplakia and sarcoidosis. The suggestion is made that the two disorders may be related.
