[Ureteritis cystica. Case report and review of the literature].

The authors report one case of ureteritis cystica in 40 years old women. The diagnosis was confirmed by histologic examination. The epidemiologic, etiopathogenic, radio-diagnosis and therapeutic aspects are discussed with a review of literature.

[Renal angiomyolipoma].

Anglomyolipoma is a benign kidney tumour that may be an isolated lesion or associated especially with tuberous sclerosis. The advancement of imaging technology allows a correct diagnosis in most cases before surgery. The management approach of angiomyolipoma should be aimed at parenchymal preservation: tumorectomy, partial nephrectomy and selective embolization.

[Chyluria].

Chyluria is the passage of chyle into the urine giving it a typical milky appearance, it's due to a communication between lymphatic and urinary system. Filariasis is the most frequent cause of chyluria. Considering the infrequency of chyluria in our environment, a literature review is made, explaining the most frequent etiological data, as well as clinical signs, diagnostic means, conservative and surgical procedures in the treatment of this process.

How did the endoscopic video camera change our practice in transurethral resection of the prostate? A retrospective study of 200 cases.

Purpose: Video camera-assisted transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is an invaluable teaching tool and provides physical comfort to the surgeon. However, whether it improves technical skills and reduces complications rates and hospital stay has not been well documented.

Patients And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 100 cases of video camera-assisted (VCA) TURP and 100 cases of non-video camera-assisted (NVCA) TURP randomly chosen from 1490 cases performed over a 5-year period.
