Cutaneous vesicostomy was used for temporary urinary diversion in 12 infants with neurogenic vesical dysfunction. Hydronephrosis, azotemia and clinical urinary infection were resolved in all patients. Postoperative complications consisted of diaper dermatitis in 42 per cent and vesical prolapse in 25 per cent.

A review of urinary tract complications following hysterectomy shows that these are more likely to occur after radical hysterectomy than after hysterectomy for benign conditions. The role of associated radiotherapy has also been considered and the use of preoperative and postoperative radiological investigations of the urinary tract discussed. Ureteric complications include transient hydroureter and hydronephrosis, ureteric stricture, ureteric fistulae and ureteric severance. The bladder complications which may occur are vesicovaginal fistula, impingement from postoperative haematoma and abscess, the development of bladder calculi, urinary retention and prolaspe of the bladder base. Ureteric complications are often serious especially when there has been fistula or stricture formation, but other abnormalities may be transient. Serious bladder complications such as fistula formation are rare, but urinary retention and prolapse of the bladder base are not uncommon. The purpose and means of radiological investigation have been discussed, as well as some diagnostic pitfalls.

Five patients are described with hydronephrosis and hydroureter associated with advanced uterine prolapse. Various hypotheses have been advanced in the literature to account for this neglected syndrome. A trial was carried out to assess whether all patients presenting with uterine prolapse should be screened to exclude urinary tract obstruction. Thirty-seven patients on the waiting list for surgery for various degrees of prolapse had an IVU and a blood urea estimation. No cases of ureteric obstruction were found, presumably because the lesser grades of prolapse predominated. It is, therefore, considered that all patients with prolapse do not need intravenous urography, which should be restricted to women with complete procidentia.

Recently, the continent urinary reservoir which provides the patient with a better quality of life has become popular. Many types of reservoirs have been reported, but the optimal procedure remains to be established. From July 1987 through November 1988, we performed Kock pouch construction on 11 patients (ages 39 to 76 years). Between July 1989 and March 1991, 9 patients (ages 44 to 66 years) underwent Indiana pouch operation. The first 4 patients underwent ileal patch type, and the subsequent 5 underwent Heineke-Mikulicz type procedure. A one-stage radical cystectomy and continent urinary reservoir construction was performed on 19 patients, and bilateral cutaneous ureterostomy was converted to Kock pouch in one patient. There were no perioperative deaths, but reoperation was required for urinary leakage from the reservoir on one patient in each group. As the late complications in the Kock pouch group, one patient required revisional operation of the continent valve mechanism, 2 patients experienced intermittent prolapse of the nipple valve of the efferent limb, and 2 had malfunction of the afferent nipple valve. In the Indiana pouch group unilateral hydronephrosis was noticed in one patient, and 4 had mild difficulty of catheterization. Although 3 patients in both groups had mild urinary leakage, all patients had good quality of life with capacity of reservoir over 500 ml and with good renal function. We changed the type of operative procedure from Kock pouch to Indiana pouch because of the high complication ratio in the former.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

From August 1986 through July 1990, 20 patients underwent construction of the Kock continent ileal reservoir and were observed for more than three months. The early complications within the first 3 months were wound infection in four patients (20%), leakage at uretero-intestinal anastomosis in three patients (15%), prolapse of efferent limb and ileus in two patients (10%) and reflux, ureteral stenosis, intestinal fistula and postoperative pancreatitis in one patient (5%). The three late complications included stone formation in two patients and stenosis at an afferent limb in one patient. The stenosis occurred at the position of Dacron collar. The patients were divided into two groups and we compared the recent 10 patients with the initial 10 patients on complications and end results. In the initial group, 8 patients (80%) had 14 complications. In the recent group, 4 patients had 4 complications. The early complications have been reduced with the increase of Kock pouch operation. The result of the recent group was better than that of the initial group. Frequency of postoperative hydronephrosis in patients with Kock pouch was investigated. In nine patients (45%) the minimal hydronephrosis occurred within the first two months and in 5 patients (25%) three months after the operation. It had a normalizing tendency. The maximum pouch pressure at the pouch volume of 400 to 500 ml was not significantly high (37.9 +/- 12.2 cmH2O, mean +/- S.D.).

Kock continent ileal reservoir for urinary diversion was performed in 53 patients with invasive bladder cancer (52) or neurogenic bladder (1). The postoperative follow-up period was from six to thirty-nine months. The clinical results showed no metabolic disturbance of blood electrolytes or acidity. Prolapse of efferent nipple valve developed in 4 patients (7.6%); and 2 underwent revisional surgery with a good result. Another 4 patients (7.6%) suffered from poor continence and relatively frequent catheterization to empty the pouch was necessary to prevent urine leakage through the stoma. Urodynamic study of the Kock pouch in these 4 patients showed a short functional nipple valve length and small pouch capacity. The other 45 patients (84.8%) had good continence. Urodynamic study of the pouch in 20 patients showed low pressure (mean of 13.3 cm H2O) in the pouch and high pressure (mean of 72.1 cm H2O) at the efferent nipple valve. Three patients had unilateral hydronephrosis in the follow-up intravenous urography. Corrective surgery for stenosis at the right ureteroileal anastomosis was done in 1 patient with normalization of the upper urinary tract afterward. The other 2 patients were managed by close observation for the mild hydronephrosis. Symptomatic bacteriuria developed in only 3 patients (5.7%) and responded well to antibiotic management. Reservoirography demonstrated no reflux into the upper urinary tract in all the follow-up patients. There was no significant change of the renal function at twenty-four months after operation detected by radionuclide (131I-Hippuran) renal functional study. All patients were satisfied with Kock urinary diversion.

Eleven cases of primary carcinoma of vagina were admitted in Kasturba Medical College Hospital during the last 10 years, of which 6 cases aged 44-72 years, were associated with 3rd degree uterine prolapse. All the patients attended the hospital in late stage in spite of having 3rd degree uterine prolapse. Blood stained discharge and ulceration on the prolapsed part, irreducible prolapse with urinary retention and marked oedema of local and surrounding tissues were the presenting symptoms. Lesion on the vagina varied in size from 5 cm to 15 cm. IVP in both the cases of irreducible prolapse and retention of urine revealed hydroureter and hydronephrosis bilaterally. X-ray chest revealed secondaries in one patient only. Histopathology of vaginal biopsy revealed well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma in 5 cases and undifferentiated squamous cell carcinoma in one. Since the patients were in late stage of malignancy and were inoperable, treatment with external telecobalt therapy was undertaken. One patient developed vesicovaginal fistula during the treatment period and another patient developed it at the end of telecobalt therapy.

We report three patients in whom hydronephrosis was diagnosed by ultrasonography in utero. In two fetuses, ureteroceles were detected prenatally and these proved to be the cause of obstruction. In the third, bilateral simple ureteroceles were discovered immediately after birth. In the last patient, failure to see ureteroceles in utero may have been related to the phenomenon of ureterocele eversion and prolapse into the ureter. Ultrasonographers should be aware of this prolapse phenomenon as a potential pitfall for both the in utero and postpartum diagnosis of ureterocele.

The surgical results of 28 consecutive initial bladder closures and 25 consecutive initial bladder neck reconstructions performed for classical bladder exstrophy at our hospital between 1975 and 1982 are presented. Partial bladder prolapse occurred in 2 cases and complete wound dehiscence never occurred following the initial primary bladder closure. Urinary continence following bladder neck reconstruction was assessed from parental interviews. An excellent surgical result was defined either as achievement of a daytime dry interval for more than 3 hours or less than 1 incontinent episode per day. According to these parameters, an excellent surgical result was achieved in 86 and 80 per cent of children, respectively. In 21 children evaluated with excretory urograms between 1/2 and 6 years after bladder neck reconstruction 10 per cent of the renal units showed significant hydronephrosis and deterioration of function. The 2 patients who had upper tract deterioration were not followed postoperatively at our institution and the diagnosis of bladder outlet obstruction was delayed when excretory urograms were not obtained during the first postoperative year. This review of the surgical results following primary bladder closure and bladder neck reconstruction for classical bladder exstrophy demonstrates that secure abdominal wall closure and urinary continence can be achieved with minimal morbidity and with infrequent deterioration of renal function following staged functional bladder closure.
