The beginning of the circumcision was originated from the rite of the ancient Israel historically. The circumcision has performed for the purpose of penile hygiene and for the treatment of phimosis, paraphimosis, balancposthitis and so on. In the way of the circumcision the conventional circumcision was mostly used, but we used Gomco clamp and the incision was made 3mm away from the metal edge of the instrument. And the merits in the use of the instruments were as follows: 1) the short time operation, 2) safety and cosmetically satisfactory performance without need of assistant for the procedure, 3) no bleeding on operation.

Urinary cytology is rather simple diagnostic procedure for the detection of the urinary tract tumors, but has not yet been fully accepted by urologists. Since publication of the work in urinary cytology by Papanicolaou and Marshall in 1945, many studies with urine sediment smears have been reported. To evaluate the results of cytologic examination of the genitourinary tumors, we have compared with the results of biopsies which were performed at the Department of Urology, Korea University Hospital, during the period from April 1972 to September 1979. One hundred fifty patients were subjected to this examination, of which 81 cases were diagnosed as the genitourinary tumors histopathologically, while 69 cases were negative histologically. In 81 cases, 50 cases (61.7%) were negative in urinary, 9 cases (11.1%) doubtful and 22 cases(27.2%) positive.
