A clinical observation was made on 282 cases of transurethral surgery who had been admitted to the Department of Urology, Medical School, Jeonbug National University during the period from January 1978 to August 1982. The results were summerized as follows. 1. Among 1,618 in-patients, 282 cases were undertaken transurethral surgery. 2. The age distribution ranged from 21 years to 83 years, the most prevalent age was from 60 to 79. 3. The sex ratio, male to female was 5.9:1. 4. The disease distribution were 176 case in B.P.H., 9 Cases in prostatic ca., 6 cases in median bar, 13 cases in bladder tumor, 58 cases in ureteral stone, 113 cases in bladder stone and 5 cases in urethral stone. 5. The most common surgical type was transurethral resection of prostate in 191 (67.7%). 6. The average operating time was 43 minutes. 7. Postoperative complications were listed as: 3 cases in bladder rupture, 2 cases in incontinence, 1 case in dysuria, 1 case in epididymitis, 1 case of recurrence of bladder tumor and 2 cases which were impossible of removal of stone basket with stone. 8. The postoperative hospitalization was between 2 days and 10 days, 6.3 day in average.

Urethral stricture has been most complicated problem in the field of urology. We have experienced 17 times of endoscopic internal urethrotomy in 13 cases with urethral stricture and reviewed results and complications with a brief literatures. Of 13 cases, 9 cases have been followed for 3 to 20 months. Satisfactory results were obtained in 7 cases(77.8%). The complication rate was 11.8%(2 cases). Average duration of retaining catheter was 12 days. In conclusion, endoscopic internal urethrotomy is thought to be safe and first choice of procedure for urethral stricture.

Vasectomy as a male sterilization has been performed popularly in the world including Korea from 1962. In recent demand for reversal of reproduction increases more than past times due to sudden loss of offspring or change of mind. In this presentation, we report 13 cases of vasovasostomy operated from December in l983 to June in 1985 and observe the results after operation & technics used at our department of urology. The results after operation is described anatomically & functionally with ratio.

The surgical removal of dendritic calculi, isolated symptomatic calyceal calculi and large calculi from within the intrarenal pelvis has been always a difficult problem and can be destructive to renal parenchyma. following results are obtained through comparative investigation among extended pyelolithotomy, nephropyelolithotomy, anatrophic nephrolithotomy with hypothermia in situ and nephrectomy for surgery of renal stones. Among these methods, anatrophic nephrolithotomy with hypothermia in situ is performed in 12 cases who have renal stones which are considered to be difficult to remove by ordinary pyelolithotomy. This operative technique is relatively simple, easy and uneventful recovery followed in all cases. 1. Incidence of renal stones is 48 cases out of 618 total in-patients. 2. The sex distribution: 26 patients are male and 22 patients are female. 3. the age distribution ranged from 7 years old to 72 years old with the most common age group in the 31-50 years old. 4. Methods of operative management included: extended pyelolithotomy in 22 cases, anatrophic nephrolithotomy with hypothermia in situ in 12 cases, nephropyelolithotomy in 2 cases and nephrectomy in 12 cases. 5. Blood loss during operation by anatrophic nephrolithotomy with hypothermia in situ, as compared with nephropyelolithotomy is reduced to a quarter. 6. Operating time by anatrophic nephrolithotomy with hypothermia in situ required 95 minutes with mean operating time, extended pyelolithotomy-85 minutes with mean operating time, nephro-pyelolithotomy-120 minutes with mean operating time. 7. Postoperative hospitalizations are 9 days in anatrophic nephrolithotomy with hypothermia in situ, 8 days in extended pyelolithotomy, 15 days in nephropyelolithotomy and 8 days in nephrectomy.

Histopathological studies with clinical observation were made on 41 patients performing the prostatic needle biopsy for the purpose of detecting occult early cancer of the prostate in geriatric patients and tuberculosis of the prostate in young age groups in the department of Urology, Jeonbug National University, medical school from January, 1980. The results were as follows; 1. The most prevalent age was from 60 to 79 (76%). 2. Of 41 cases performing prostatic needle biopsy, 36 cases were transperineal route and 5 cases were transrectal route. 3. Among 38 cases of adequate tissues obtained by prostatic needle biopsy, 3 cases were diagnosed as adenocarcinoma of the prostate. 4. Complications after the prostatic needle biopsy developed in 4 cases, including rectal hemorrhage in 1 case, fever in 1 case and perineal pain in 2 cases. 5. Of 41 cases performing the prostatic needle biopsy, TURP in 30 cases, Trocar cystostomy in 7 cases and conservative therapy in 4 cases were performed. 6. Of 30 cases performing TURP, B.P.H. in 27 cases and adenocarcinoma of the prostate in 3 cases were proved by histological study. 7. Of 41 cases performing the prostatic needle biopsy, 7 cages had associated diseases besides various prostatic diseases and were performed Trocar cystostomy.
