Urinary disorders after amputation or resection of the rectum are much more frequent than commonly supposed. Out of 239 patients they were noticed by 56.6%, undergoing amputation, and 36.6% after resection. Longterm disturbances were observed by 26.4% respect. 15.1%. The most important reason is injury of autonomic pelvic nerves and ganglia. Urinary bladder infection was verified in 22% respect. 8%. Furthermore urinary disorders may be caused by changing of bladder localization (bladder hernia), wound infection (especially of the sacral cavity), edema of the urethra, and exacerbation or manifestation of pre-existing urologic diseases. Compared to these, lesions of the urinary tract are of little importance. To prevent such complications, we postulate: 1. careful pre-operative urologic examination, 2. if possible mobilisation of the rectum along its borderlines (so-called Grenzlamellen of Pernkopf), 3. critical analysis of urologic disorders, removal of the urinary catheter as soon as possible, regular systemic prophylaxis of urinary infection, and therapy controlled by antibiogram, 4. adequate follow-up, and 5. urologic examination of all disturbances lasting longer than three months.

Urethral strictures resultant from hip fractures were examined and treated in 140 patients admitted to hospital with multiple attendant traumas: rupture of the bladder and abdominal organs, rib and limb fractures, renal injuries. All of them underwent epicystostomy followed in 3--4 months by urethroplasty. Drainage of the bladder and paracystic fat was passive in 38 and active in 102 patients. Passive drainage, common in urological practice, failed to yield satisfactory results because of deficient urine outflow from the bladder and gave rise to various complications: phlegmons, femoral osteomyelitis, pyelonephritis, urosepsis. Fourteen patients developed urinary fistulas, four subjects had a large postoperative hernia involving the bladder. The adverse effects made urethroplasty problematic. With active drainage, the bladder and paracystic fat were continuously irrigated with drug solutions siphoned off from a jar into a dropper obtained from a disposable hemotransfusion system. Patients on active drainage avoided complications, 47 of them were successfully operated on the urethra, in 55 urethral competence recovered without surgical interventions.

We report a rare case of complete duplication of the bladder, urethra and external genitalia associated with other multiple congenital anomalies, such as ventriculoseptal defect, malrotation of the gut, ectopic anal opening, malascended left kidney, rachischisis of the lumbar spine and sacrum, and an umbilical hernia. To our knowledge the occurrence of these associated anomalies in a single case of complete duplication of the bladder, urethra and external genitalia has not been reported previously.

The authors report a series of 25 operations using the Bologna technic in which 20 cases were examined with bladder function tests before and after surgery. This technic has curative results for vesical hernia or cystocele and urinary incontinence. In all but one case the abdominal pressure transmission defect to the upper urethra was corrected without deterioration of maximal urethral pressure.

Urethral stricture in the tropics may be a serious public health problem; the majority of cases are caused by the gonococcus. The pathology is varied, and many advanced cases with complications are seen. Most strictures are seen in the posterior urethra, where fibrosis and narrowing may extend from a short length of under 5 mm to well over 10 cm. A wide variety of complications occurs. Diagnosis is easy when the patient presents in acute retention or with a history of difficult micturition, but more difficult when stricture is the underlying cause of perianal abscess, gangrene of the scrotum caused by extravasation, uremia or hypertension, hernia or rectal prolapse, urinary infection, or elephantiasis of scrotum with multiple fistulae. A careful history is helpful, paricularly if previous gonorrhea is involved. Physical examination varies according to mode of presentation and complications; a rectal examination and neurological examination should be included. Definitive investigation to prove the presence of a stricture includes urethrography and urethroscopy, if facilities are available. Indirect methods of diagnosis include tests for hemoglobin, blood urea, plain X-ray of the whole urinary tract, urinalysis, and others. It is preferable to leave instrumentation until last in diagnostic cases, to avoid infection, but a diagnostic bougie may be passed under strict aseptic conditions prior to treatment. The mainstay of treatment is regular bouginage for life, which is best done in a bougie clinic held at regular intervals. Equipment for bouginage, in order of desirability, includes soft plastic bougies, straight metal bougies, or curved metal bougies in larger sizes, a large stainless steel instrument tray, a basin for sterile water, and lubricant. Care should be taken during bouginage not to pass bougies into acutely inflamed strictures, and not to overstretch the urethra. Plastic bougies are preferable, until a stable situation has been reached. Surgery is indicated for a persistently impassable stricutre, for 1 requiring difficult bouginage at frequent intervals with many failures, for an established false passage, and for complications, especially bladder neck stenosis. Instructions for intravenous pyelograms and for urethrography from below and above, and diagrams of urethrograms indicating various pathological states and a diagnostic schema for urethral stricture are included.

A case is presented in which a giant scrotal hernia contained intestines together with the whole bladder, prostate, urethra and both ureters. Their compression by intestines caused uremia. After reconstruction of the normal anatomy the renal function improved and the man became able to work.

A retrospective study was done to define the clinical characteristics and outcome of treatment of iatrogenic urological injuries in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. Consecutive cases of iatrogenic urological injuries treated by consultant surgeons based in the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital over a period of 10 years were reviewed. A total of 37 injuries occurred in 34 patients. The ages ranged from two weeks to 74 years with a mean of 30 years. The distribution of these injuries by sex was 23 males and 14 females. The operations in which the injuries occurred were: hysterectomy 12 cases (32%), hernia repairs 8 cases (22%) and male circumcision 6 cases (16%). The organs injured were ureter 13 times (35%), the bladder 12 times (32%) and the glans penis and distal urethra 12 times (32%). The surgeons responsible were mainly as follows: Gynecologist/Obstetrician 14 (38%), General Practitioner 9 (24%), Nurses 4 (11%), Non-medical persons 4 (11%), Not disclosed 3 (8%). The outcome of treatment was satisfactory in 33 (90%). There were two deaths. Strategies to prevent these injuries include adequate surgical training and meticulous surgical techniques.

Homologous acellular dermal matrix graft (HADMG) has been used for the reconstructions of bowel, bladder, or urethra, but its suitability in the reconstruction of abdominal wall has not been tested. Therefore an experimental study was performed to evaluate the use of HADMG for the reconstruction of abdominal wall defects in weanling rats. Thirty weanling Wistar rats were used. A patch of abdominal wall 20 x 20 mm in dimension was removed. The defects were reconstructed with HADMGs that were derived from rat skin and prepared through a detergent enzymatic method. The reconstructed abdominal walls were evaluated as hernia rate and graft take ratio, excised and prepared for histological examination at 21 (n = 10), 40 (n = 10), and 90 (n = 10) days postoperation. The healing of repaired abdominal walls was uneventful. Histological evaluation demonstrated the migration of fibroblasts and neovascularization within the HADMG. Hernia in four rats were developed at 90 days. Neither significant wound contraction nor inflammation was seen at 21, 40, and 90 days after surgery in wounds receiving HADMGs. Thus, the use of a HADMG for reconstructing the abdominal wall in weanling rats has not given rise to any complications. HADMG has progressively remodeled into fibrous tissue. It appears to represent an important alternative substitute for the reconstruction of abdominal wall.

During dissection of the retropubic region of a 55-year-old female cadaver, we encountered an angiolipoma located inside the obturator canal which was connected to the wall of the urinary bladder by a fibrous cord. The angiolipoma was supplied by a branch originating from the umbilical artery. Microscopically the benign soft tissue tumor was characterized by lobules of mature adipocytes and densely distributed networks of small and larger blood vessels, thus resembling typical histological features of an angiolipoma. Both the uncommon location of the angiolipoma and the abnormal branch of the umbilical artery entering the obturator canal should be taken into account during surgical procedures in this region, such as for orthopedic pelvic procedures, hernia repair or bladder/urethra-related interventions (e.g. transobturator tape, tension-free vaginal tape, colposuspension).
