OBJECTIVE: We applied intraoperative autotransfusion (IAT) as a method of decreasing or avoiding homologous blood transfusions during urological cancer surgery and assessed the availability of the IAT. PATIENTS AND METHODS: IAT was performed in 7 patients with bladder cancer who underwent retropubic radical cystectomy (Cx group) and in 4 patients with prostate cancer who underwent radical prostatectomy (Px group). Blood shed in operation fields was collected and processed with an IAT device. The volume of blood loss, homologous blood transfused, and autologous blood transfused during surgery were assessed. RESULTS: In the Cx group, intraoperative blood loss ranged from 1,086 to 2,673 ml (mean: 1,757 ml), and homologous blood transfusions ranged from 0 to 1,000 ml (mean: 457 ml). Autologous blood was processed by IAT device and the amount transfused ranged from 380 to 980 ml (mean: 607 ml). Two patients did not require homologous blood transfusion. In the Px group, intraoperative blood loss ranged from 1,160 to 1,550 ml (mean: 1,356 ml). Autologous blood was processed by IAT device and the amount transfused ranged from 540 to 990 ml (mean: 745 ml). None of the patients required homologous blood transfusion. CONCLUSION: IAT is a feasible method of reducing or avoiding homologous blood transfusion in radical cystectomy and retropubic radical prostatectomy.

The conventional sugical procedure for hydrocele, eversion of sac (with or without partial excision of sac), still remains the most popular one for hydrocele. The new technique is an easy, quick and simple operation. And it avoids postoperative complications. A clinical observation was made on 14 patients of hydrocele who were admitted to the Department of UroIogy, Han-Il. Hospital during the 12 months period from May, 1989 to April, 1990 and surgically treated by `window procedure` with good results.

Fifteen stress urinary incontinence patients were treated using the modified endoscopic suspension of the bladder neck that eliminates all incisions during the period from January 1990 to December 1990. The average operation time was 26 minutes and the mean days of urethral Foley catheter removal were 3.9 days operation. Two point three days were required to restore the normal voiding pattern. Of 15 patients treated. 1 failure occurred, for an overall success rate of 93%. There had been no significant complications. Therefore, no-incision pubovaginal suspension was simple and effective means treating stress urinary incontinence.

Leiomyoma is rare. Most of patients present with urinary tract infection, hematuria, dyspareunia, or complaint of mass. A case of leiomyoma on urethrovaginal septum in a 36 years old female was presented. The presenting symptom was a protruding mass at the anterior vaginal wall The mass was removed surgically and confirmed as a leiomyoma pathologically.
