[Biochemic evidence of the presence of urine in a drain following surgery].

Objective: Evaluation of the laboratory investigations of the postoperative wound drains liquids containing urine and establishing the borderline levels for confirmation of the urine presence. PATIENTS GROUP AND THE METHODS: Biochemical analysis of the drain liquids, urine and blood serum from the 34 patients with confirmed urine leak out of the urinary tract. The urea, creatinine, natrium, potassium and chloride levels were measured in all samples.

[Surgical repair of bladder rupture associated with the pelvic fracture without suprapubic tube--a case report].

The authors are presenting a case of 42-year-old polytraumatized man with pelvic fracture associated with extraperitoneal urinary bladder rupture. This was verified by intraoperative retrograde cystography and treated with suture without making suprapubic tube drainage. Urinary draining was assured with a transurethral permanent urinary catheter.

[Five-year follow up in patients after surgery for clear cell renal carcinoma].

Objective: Evaluation of the five-year follow-up of patients treated for clear-cell renal carcinoma in dependency on its characteristic and extension. PATIENTS' COHORT AND METHODS: Retrospective analysis of five-year follow-up of 269 patients treated for clear-cell renal carcinoma in dependency on T, N, M and clinical tumor stage; presence of lymphatic and distant metastases, cellular grade and tumor necrosis. Tumor-specific surviving is presented on Kaplan-Meier curves.

[Possibilities of diagnostics yeasts in gynecologist patients].

Problem of mycoses in gynecology is considered very frequent and yeasts are traditionally described as most common cause of vulvovaginal disorders. While acute disorders can be promptly cured in most cases, there is a group of women suffering from those repeatedly. Following article refers to a group of patients in long-term follow-up and shows realistic possibilities of diagnostics, available to out-patient gynecologist.

[Changes in target volumes definition by using MRI for prostate bed radiotherapy planning--preliminary results].

Backgrounds: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used quite routinely in radiotherapy treatment planning in the primary radiotherapy of prostate cancer as it provides more contrast imaging of soft tissues in the small pelvis than planning CT, thanks to which it allows more exact delineation of target volumes and thus the saving of organs at risk We tried to verify whether it is possible to use MRI by analogy in the planning of prostate bed radiotherapy.

Patients And Methods: Twentyone patients indicated for prostate bed radiotherapy were considered in this study. Here we present the preliminary results of 10 of them.
