A clinical observation was made on 96 cases of transurethral resection for the benign prostatic hypertrophy, admitted during the period of 3 years from January 1984 to December 1986. Previous to the transurethral resection of prostate, the suprapubic cystostomy was accomplished in 38 cases among them and following advantageous results were obtained. 1. Suprapubic cystostomy before TURP provides better endoscopic vision by continuous flow of irrigating fluid to permit no interrupted resection. 2. By eliminating the time spent for evacuation of the bladder, eye accommodation and reestablishment of surgical land marks, it permits transurethral resection of larger gland, within recognized safety guidelines. 3. It tends to minimize and prevent absorptive complications by lessening intravesical pressure. 4. It decreases operative risk by lessening operative time and the volume of fluid absorbed. 5. It provides an alternative route of irrigation and drainage intraoperatively and postoperatively.

A clinical evaluation was made in 168 spinal cord injuries who visited the department of urology in Korea Veterans Hospital and received follow up studies during the period from May, 1986 to May, l987. The results were as follow; l. 82 cases(51.8%) had thoracic lesions, 55(32.7%)cervical and 26(15.5%) lumber. 104 cases (61.99%) were complete and 64(38.1%) incomplete. 2. The cause of the spinal cord injury was falldown( 45.2%), gunshot(29.l%),traffic accident(25.O%) and etc. 3. 12 cases died during the follow-up at our hospital. The cause of death was renal failure (25%) and septicemia from bed sore(25%). 4. In view of complications according to voiding pattern, there were no difference in cases with renal stone, but high incidences of bladder stone, chills and fever, V-U; reflux, bacteriuria and epididymitis in the group having the indwelling catheter 5. Factors associated with a statistically. significant reduction in Ccr included renal calculi, chills and fever and V-U reflux, but other factors not found to be statistically significant included years since injury. bladder calculi, bacteriuria and extent of injury.

Internuclear ophthalmoplegia (INO) is characteristic of lesions of the medial longitudinal fasciculus (MLF) between the third and sixth cranial nerve nucleus. Bilateral INO is due to bilateral lesions of MLF. We present here one case of bilateral INO in tuberculous meningitis.
