The cystoscopic manipulation was done in 52 cases of ureteral stones who visited the Department of Urology, Soon-Chun-Hyang College Hospital during the period of 18 months from May. 1979 to August. 1980 using Dormia stone disloger and the following results were obtained. 1. With the Dormia stone dislodger, 27 cases of ureteral stone were removed successfully. 2. The ureteral stone passed in 8 cases within 72 hours after manipulation. 3. Of the 27 cases, 2 cases were middle ureteral stone and 25 cases were lower ureteral stone. 4. The largest stone measured 6.5 x 13 mm. 5. There were no major complication but minor complication occurred such as fever, pain and gross hematuria.

Recently, primary ureteral tumors are more frequently reported in urological field even though considered as rare. We have observed a case of primary ureteral tumor confirmed with the cystoscopy and retrograde pyeloureterogram. Choice of operation is nephro-ureterectomy with removal of a cuff of bladder wall around the ureteral orifice. It is necessary for a physician to make the early diagnosis and removal of the tumor as soon as possible.

The need for film recording in endoscopic practice is important with the present demand for documentation and teaching (legal problem). The electronic endoscopy which has a very small charge coupled device (CCD) at the distal end of an endoscope yields several times more resolving power than conventional optical endoscopes. However the system has not been utilized in Urologic field because there has not enough space for CCD at the end of the telescope comparing to the endoscope in Gastroenterology field. However the video converter with CCD could be adapted to the eyepiece of the telescope, and the automatic monitor photo unit (CVP 600, SAMSUNG, KOREA), video system and monitor were used for imaging, which is so called Urologic Video Information System (UV1S). The image processing was done by instantaneous system (CCD color camera, EC-202 II, ELMO, Japan) with conventional optical light source. From September 1992 to August 1996, we did cystoscopic examination with CCD in 1079 cases.

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the effect of diagnostic cystoscopy in early detection of ureteral injury at the time of total laparoscopic hysterectomy. METHODS: Retrospectively 598 women who received total laparoscopic hysterectomy from August 2004 to August 2006 were included. They were divided into two groups : no cystoscopic examination (n=398) group (Group A) and routine intraoperative diagnostic cystoscopic examination after intravenous indigo-carmine injection (n=200) group (Group B). The rates of ureteral injury after total laparoscopic hysterectomy were compared between both groups. RESULTS: Postoperative ureteral injury was observed in 3 case of Group A (3/398 : 0.75%) and in no case of Group B. In 2 cases of group B (2/200 : 1.00%), Intraoperative ureteral injury was detected by cystoscopy. CONCLUSION: Routine intraoperative diagnostic cystoscopy allows for early recognition and treatment of obstructive ureteral injuries, and reduces the rate of late postoperative ureteral complications during advanced laparoscopic procedures.

The cystoscopic manipulation was applied in 38 cases of lower one third ureteral stone who visited the Department of Urology National Police Hospital during the period from January 1979 to August 1981. 1. The age distribution was between 17 and 57 years, showing the highest incidence in 21 to 30 years (36.8%). 2. In 38 cases of stones in the lower one third of ureter in which the woven loop stone dislodger was used, the stone was removed successfully in 29 cases, a success rate of 76.3%. 3. Among 29 cases, 20 ureteral stones were extracted immediately and 9 ureteral stones were delivered spontaneously after cystoscopic manipulation. 4. In 7 cases (18.4%) ureterolithotomy was necessary. 5. The commonest size of stone extracted by woven loop stone dislodger was from 5 mm to 7 mm in size. 6. No specific complication were found during or after cystoscopic manipulations.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical performance of the BTA TRAK assay and to compare it with that of voided urine cytology in the detection of bladder cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: TRAK was evaluated two groups of patients. Bladder cancer group was comprised of patients wit histologically confirmed active bladder cancer. The second group of patients had a history of bladder cancers but were considered to have no evidence of disease on basis of cystoscopic evaluation of bladder and/or biopsy. Sensitivity was determined in urine samples from patients with histologically confirmed bladder cancer. Specificity was determined in samples from patients who had a history of bladder cancer but no current evidence of disease. RESULTS: BTA TRAK assay was positive in 21 of 24 samples from patients with diagnosed bladder cancer. The sensitivity of BTA TRAK assay (87.5%) was significantly higher than that of voided urine cytology (45.8%). According to grade, the sensitivity of BTA TRAK assay was significantly higher than that of voided urine cytology in urine samples from patients with grade 1 bladder cancer. The specificity of BTA TRAK assay was 80% in patients who had a history of bladder cancer but no current evidence of disease. CONCLUSIONS: The BTA TRAK assay is superior to voided urine cytology in the detection of bladder cancer. The difference of the sensitivity was statistically significant(p<0.05). The results of this study indicate that BTA TRAK assay is a useful adjunct to cystoscopy in the detection of bladder cancer and useful monitoring tool of bladder cancer.

To assess the importance of cystoscopic gross finding in staging cervical cancer, a clinical observation was performed on 97 cases Of cystoscopy in cervical cancer. The results were as follows: 1. Of 97 cases of cystoscopy, 26 cases were suspected as tumor invasion to the bladder mucosa. The majority of these cases were distributed over initial stage III. 2. Of 26 suspected tumor invasion, ultrasound and CT revealed positive findings in 75%, respectively. Ultrasound and/or CT revealed in 85.7%. 3. Of 26 cases, 25 cases (96.2%) were impressed as final stage TV and 15 cases (15.5%) were upstaged. 4. Among 97 cases of cystoscopy, 40 cases were upstaged in final stage. Fourty percents of 40 cases were contributed by cystoscopy.
