Objectives: To retrospectively examine our percutaneous nephrolithotomy pathway to determine the efficacy of a 6F antegrade nephroureteral catheter (NUC).
Methods: The records of 99 consecutive patients who underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy from 1998 to 2000 were reviewed. All patients were admitted the day before percutaneous nephrolithotomy and underwent placement of a nephrostomy tube.
Despite the recent availability of effective oral agents for treatment of erectile dysfunction, many patients do not respond to oral therapy and do not desire injection therapy. For some of these patients, inflatable prostheses remain an effective form of treatment for erectile dysfunction; however, prostheses are not without their own set of complications. The most common complications are infection and mechanical failure.

Materials And Methods: The bladder dome and its relative position on the lower abdomen are localized using a flexible cystoscope, light source and abdominal palpation.
Results: The technique has been successfully used in patients who require long-term urinary drainage.
Objectives: To evaluate the utility of staging pelvic lymphadenectomy and to identify factors associated with nodal metastases in which a node dissection would be of clinical benefit.
Patients And Methods: A retrospective analysis (1989-1993) was performed on 303 consecutive patients who underwent staging bilateral modified pelvic lymph node dissection for clinically localized prostate cancer. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate age, race, clinical stage, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level and Gleason score for predicting nodal metastases.
