A new method of urinary diversion via Skinner`s modification of Koch continent ileal reservoir was tried. With this method continence with storage of urine under low pressure is well maintained so that no external applicances are necessary. Ileorenal reflux is also prevented with this nipple forming technique. From May l986 to September l986, 4 patients underwent urinary diversion that included creation of a modified Koch pouch by Skinner. Previous urinary diversion was by ureterocutaneous diversion in 1 patient. A total of 3 patients underwent radical cystectomies for bladder cancer In 1 patient, simultaneous urethrectomy was done because of carcinoma in situ in the urethra. There were no operative mortalities. All patients are continent and without reflux to the upper urinary tract. The volume capacity of pouch is more than 400ml. The pouch is emptied by self-catheterization every 4 to 6 hours during the day and once at night. Postoperative follow-up presently is short and it is impossible to check late complications. Although preliminary, this clinical trial suggests that the quality of life for patients can be improved markedly by the modified Koch continent ileal reservoir.

BACKGROUND: Hemoptysis is a common clinical symptom, responsible for 11% of admission to the hospital chest service. Correct diagnosis, accurate localization of the bleeding source and proper management are imperative to reduce the risk of massive hemoptysis. We performed the study to define the optimal time of fiberoptic bronchoscopy in 63 patients with hemoptysis admitted to Kyung Hee University Hospital between Aug 1989 and Aug1992. METHODS: Retrospective analysis of medical records concerning the cause, amount, duration of hemoptysis and the timing of fiberoptic bronchoscopy in 63(M:F=36:27) patients. RESULTS: 1) The main causes of hemoptysis were pulmonary tuberculosis(52.4%) bronchiectasis(27.0%) and lung cancer(11.1%). 2) The bleeding sites were localized in 26 Patients(41.3%). 3) The rates of localization of bleeding site were not related to the amount and duration of hemoptysis. 4) The rates of localization of bleeding site were 61.8%(21/34) during hemoptysis,18.2%(122) within 24hr after resolution of hemoptysis, 14.3%(1/7) thereafter. CONCLUSION: Early bronchoscopy, especially during hemoptysis may show higher rates of successful localization than delayed bronchoscopy.
