RESUMO
The authors describe the technique of scrotal elevation and compression for the prevention of postoperative scrotal hematoma. This technique was used in 30 patients undergoing hydrocelectomy, spermatocelectomy or epididymectomy. There have been no untoward effects associated with this technique and this technique is applicable to a wide variety of scrotal procedures. The method described is simple, rapid to perform, comfortable for the patients and most effective to prevent postoperative complications in patients undergoing a scrotal operation.

The Authors report a case of hemangioma of the bladder, probable relapse of a similar neoplasia treated with endoscopic diathermy 28 years before, in a 34 year old patient. The clinical presentation, the localization, the subject's age, the therapy and the lesion's histological type recall the main features of this neoplasia. Contrary to all traditional concepts, the diagnosis was made after a biopsy, with no particular problems occurring during the examination. The localization in the bladder dome allowed a good surgical exeresis in a healthy tissue causing a further relapse to be unlikely despite the muscular invasion of the neoplasia.
