PURPOSE: Transurethral prostatectomy(TURP) or open prostatectomy were considered as standard treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH), but these treatments showed high morbidity and mortality. We searched urodynamic predictive factors for successful surgical outcome to select patients who would benefit from prostatectomy pre-operatively. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Retrospectively, we reviewed preoperative urodynamic findings of 114 patients with BPH undergoing TURP(104cases) or open prostatectomy(10cases). RESULTS: In the follow-up period of 1 month to 19 months, a strict successes were achieved in 83 patients(73%). On analysis of the success rate, 4 favorable urodynamic factors and 8 unfavorable urodynamic factors were noted. 4 favorable factors were as follows; maximal flow rate<10ml/sec, compressive flow pattern, prostatic urethral length >6cm and presence of peak elevation on prostatic urethra pressure. 8 unfavorable factors were as follow; intermittent or normal flow pattern, prostatic urethral length<4cm, maximal detrusor pressure<10cmH2O, maximal bladder capacity<250ml, maximal urethral pressure >100cmH2O, prostatic pressure area <70cm cmH2O, non-obstructive pattern on Abrams-Griffiths nomogram and detrusor pressure at maximal flow rate <50cmH2O. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with more than 1 unfavorable urodynamic factor should be investigated carefully before surgery and be treated with other non-invasive treatment for BPH. The presence of 2 favorable urodynamic factors without unfavorable factor will usually predict the best surgical outcome.

Cavernous hemangioma of the renal pelvis is a rare benign vascular tumor. We experienced a case of this disease, which associated with renal infarction and hemorrhage in 35 year-old female. I. V. P, R. G. P and abdominal C. T were performed. Now, we introduced the pathologic and radiographic findings.

Urine cytology is widely used on early diagnosis and follow up of bladder cancer, diagnosis of carcinoma in situ. and screening test of high risk group. We evaluated the record of 72 consecutive cases of bladder cancer in recent 5 years and following results were obtained according to various analysis. 1. There were 50 positive tests of 72 cases of bladder cancer( 69.4%). 2. The frequency of positive test in high grade was much higher than in low grade( 94.1 :47.4%) 3. The frequency of positive test in high stage was much higher than in low stage(86.8:51.5%)

We report a rare case of bilateral transitional cell carcinoma of the ureter associated with acute renal failure. After unilateral percutaneous nephrostomy, right nephroureterectomy was performed without complete resection of the ureteral tumor. Following two cycles of chemotherapy. left upper ureteral obstruction was considerably decompressed with normal renal function.
