[Urologic surgery without hospitalization].

The improvement of surgical utensils, the development of endoscopic techniques, the simplification of many surgical procedures and the increasing substitution of classic surgery with treatments using the physical effects originated from innovative devices, together with the evolution of anaesthetic techniques, make possible for urological operations to be now simpler and less aggressive. All of what, whenever both the hospital and the social environment so allow it, can let us in many cases dispense with hospitalizations which, up to now, were considered essential or, at any rate, significantly reduce the patient's stay in hospital.

[Skin metastasis in prostatic adenocarcinoma].

Skin metastasis of prostatic carcinoma are extremely rare. Presentation of one significant case of these spread.

[New therapeutic alternative for complex renal lithiasis].

The combination of percutaneous nephrolitotomy and renal extracorporeal litothricy, is currently considered to be the best choice for the treatment of complex renal lithiasis. This procedure, however, quite frequently needs the use of adjuvant maneouvers (urethroscopy, catheterization, large number of sessions, etc.), and there is a considerable proportion of residual lithiasis.

Intralbugineous testicular prosthesis, a new technique. Summary of 30 implants.

A study of 16 patients who underwent intralbugineous testicular implants during the practice of orchiectomy is presented. In 14 cases of prostatic carcinoma, after bilateral subcapsular orchiectomy intralbugineous prostheses were implanted and in 2 other cases of testicular torsion unilateral prosthesis was implanted. With this new, easily executed technique the size, mobility and testicular sensibility are maintained.

[Technical modification in the surgical treatment of curvature of the penis].

Congenital curvature of the penis without hypospadias is not an uncommon condition whose treatment is by surgery. We report on 10 cases with congenital penile curvature submitted to the Nesbit procedure using our modified approach, which has achieved good results.
