Is it safe to insert a testicular prosthesis at the time of radical orchidectomy for testis cancer: an audit of 904 men undergoing radical orchidectomy.

Objective: To compare the complication rate associated with synchronous prosthesis insertion at the time of radical orchidectomy with orchidectomy alone.

Patient And Methods: All men undergoing radical orchidectomy for testis cancer in the North West Region of England between April 1999 to July 2005 and November 2007 to November 2009 were included. Data on postoperative complications, length of stay (LOS), re-admission rate and return to theatre rate were collected.

Renal trauma: case reports and overview.

Introduction. Renal trauma patients are largely managed conservatively but on occasion have to be embolised or taken to theatre for definitive surgical management, usually in the form of emergency nephrectomy. Review.

Arterial emboli complicating Cisplatin therapy.

We report three cases of arterial emboli in patients with lung cancer treated with cisplatin chemotherapy. All three patients were managed without surgical intervention but subsequent oncological treatment was complicated by the sequelae of arterial emboli. We discuss the issues surrounding these patients and the importance of identifying patients at risk of arterial embolic phenomena with cisplatin treatment.
