We treated 19 patients with ureteral injuries during the recent 7 years. Gynecologic operations were the most common antecedent surgical procedures(89%). The diagnosis of ureteral injuries was made immediately in 3 patients and was delayed 3 to 78 days in 16 patients. All of the 3 injuries recognized during an operation were repaired at the time of injury. Of the 16 patients with injuries recognized in the postoperative period, 1 patient was managed with percutaneous nephrostomy. 14 patients received corrective surgery successfully, but the corrective surgery in remaining patient was railed and ultimately resulted in a nephrectomy because of avascular necrosis of ureter during operation. Therefore, it is better to do corrective surgery primarily in patients with ureteral injuries recognized postoperatively in order to decrease percutaneous nephrostomy associated morbidity and hospital admission period.

Cutaneous horn is a clinical term for a circumscribed concial hyperkeratotic mass amounts to at least half of its largest diameter. The number of lesion may be single or multiple. We report herein a cases of penile cutaneous horn in a 22-year-old male. He had dark brownish colored conical shaped protruded mass on the penile shaft for about 2 months. We performed excisional biopsy and curettage. Histopathologic findings showed verruca vulgaris.

Juvenile xanthogranuloma is characterized by one, or oftener many, yellow, re3dish yellow, or, brown 4-to-20 mm papules or nodules on the face, scalp, trunk, and mostly, extensor surfaces. It may involve internal organ besides the skin such as eye, gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts. anthogranuloma in adult is usually solitary and dose not involve organs other than skin, and generally dose ncit resolve without treatment. Histopathologically, characteristic Touton giant cells usually appear numerously. We report a case of juvenile xanthogranulorna which occured on scalp of 49 year-old male showing typical clinical and histopathological findings.

The clinical effect of prazosin, an alpha-1-receptor blocking agent, was studied in 31 patients with benign prostatic hypertrophy. The daily dose of 1.5-6 mg of prazosin was given for 2 weeks to 3 months. The efficacy was assessed by using uroflowmetry calculated from maximum flow rate, average flow rate and residual urine volume. The result revealed significant improvement of day time frequency, night time frequency (p<0.05) and maximum and average flow rate (p<0.05). It was suspected that prazosin was the valuable alpha-1-receptor blocker for benign prostatic hypertrophy and worth while to initiate medical treatment before undergoing any surgical intervention or when surgery is contraindicated.

A clinical observation for operative, postoperative complications were made from 61 case of TURP from June 1985 to April 1989. The following results were obtained. 1. Mean operative time was 81.5 minutes and mean weight of resected prostatic tissue was 13. 6gm. Therefore, it had taken average 6.97 minutes to resect 1gm of prostatic tissue. 2. Perioperative blood replacement was performed in only 16 cases except one case of death and the mean amount was 0.66 pint (210ml). The remaining 45 cases (73.8 %) were not necessary to transfuse blood. 3. Postoperative serum sodium concentration was decreased in 38 of 60 cases and not changed in 8 cases and increased in 14 cases. These changes in serum sodium concentration showed no significant correlation with operative, amount of irrigating fluid. 4. Nineteen of 61 cases of TURP showed several types of non-fatal complications and one case of these expired and the rest of people showed' no complication. 5. The most common complication was transient urinary incontinence (11.4%), the remainders were in order of urethral stricture (6.6%), late bleeding (4.9%), re-TURP due to inadequate resection (3.3%), death (severe bleeding) (1.6%).

The decision between continued medical therapy and surgical exploration in patients with traumatized scrotum is difficult. We evaluated scrotal ultrasound as a non-invasive aid in such problematic cases. During s 42 months period. 17 patients were hospitalized for treatment of traumatized scrotum. All of them underwent careful physical examination and scrotal ultrasound. The results were as follows.; 1. In the appropriate clinical setting. ultrasound provides objective information supporting the need for surgical intervention in patients with traumatized scrotum and prevents unnecessary operation. 2. The results of treatment in 12 cases of 13 cases who underwent conservative treatment were good. 3. Scrotal ultrasound is necessary as soon as possible in traumatized scrotum and testicular salvage rates are improved markedly when early surgical correction of a ruptured tunica albuginea is performed. 4. Ultrasound is noninvasive and effective single diagnostic method in scrotal injury.
