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.

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 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.

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.

PURPOSE: Asymptomatic microscopic hematuria is a difficult problem faced at the offices of many urologists. This study was aimed at evaluating the ability for the detection of significant lesions, according to the grade of microscopic hematuria and the comparison of various diagnostic modalities. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between March 1999 and December 2003, 755 adult patients that visited our hospital due to asymptomatic microscopic hematuria were examined according to the diagnostic algorithm. The male-to-female ratio was approximately 1:1.1 (366:389). Microscopic hematuria was divided into five grades. Lesions found at evaluation were categorized as either highly or moderately significant or insignificant lesions. RESULTS: 221 (29.3%) out of 755 patients were found to have lesions during evaluation. Of these 221 patients, 33 with highly significant lesions, including 4 urologic malignancies, 127 with moderately significant lesions and 61 with insignificant lesions, were detected. Correlation was shown between the degree of microscopic hematuria and the likelihood of detecting significant urologic diseases. The sensitivity and specificity for the detection of significant lesions by urine cytology, ultrasonography (USG), intravenous pyelography (IVP), cystoscopy, computed tomography (CT) and the combination of USG and IVP were 2.5/96.3%, 35.6/96.5%, 34.7/ 96.0%, 7.4/97.7%, 100/98.2% and 44.8/94.8%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The combination of USG and IVP for the detection of significant lesions at the initial examination was more beneficial than USG or IVP. Cystoscopy and CT are necessary additional diagnostic modalities for patients with abnormal findings at the initial examination and for those patients with asymptomatic microscopic hematuria who are at high risk.

Forty eight patients with cervical cancer underwent cystoscopy, computed tomography and transrectal and transvaginal ultrasonography. Transrectal ultrasonography was as accurate as computed tomography in the evaluation of the bladder wall invasion in cervical cancer. Most patients with bullous edema in cystoscopy appeared to have invasive lesions in transrectal ultrasonography. Transrectal ultrasonography was superior to transvaginal one in the evaluation of the posterior well of the bladder. In conclusion. transrectal ultrasonography is an another good diagnostic method for the evaluation of the bladder wall invasion in cervical cancer.

The cystoscopic manipulation was applied in 35 cases of lower third ureteral stones who visited the Department of Urology Red Cross Hospital during the period of 2 years 4 months from March 1st, 1980 to June 31th, 1982, using wooven loop stone dislodger and dormia stone dislodger and following result were obtained. A)With dormia stone dislodger. 1. In 8 cases, low third ureteral stones were extruded immediately and 2 lower third ureteral stones were delivered spontaneously after cystoscopic manipulation. 2. In 3 cases, dormia stone dislodger could not by pass the stones. B)With woven stone dislodger. 1. In 9 cases, lower third ureteral stones were extracted immediately and 4 lower third ureteral stones were delivered spontaneously after cystoscopic manipulation. 2. In 2 cases, wooven stone dislodger could not by pass the stones. 3. There were no major complications but minor complications occurred such as fever, flank pain and gross hematuria.

Inverted papilloma of the urinary tract is a rare benign lesion. We report, to our knowledge, the first case of inverted papilloma of the prostatic urethra arising in a juvenile. Our patient was referred for evaluation of painless, gross hematuria and voiding difficulty. Transrectal sonography demonstrated a 1.4 cm papillary lesion on the medial aspect of the prostatic urethra. Cystoscopy showed a solitary, papillary tumor on the prostatic urethra. Transurethral resection was performed and histological examination showed an inverted papilloma.
