[Inflatable penile prostheses: results, complications and prognostic factors].

Objective: To identify the main prognostic factors influencing the immediate and long-term results of inflatable penile prosthesis implantation.

Patients And Methods: Between February 1999 and December 2007, 118 inflatable penile prostheses were implanted, by the same operator, on 96 patients with a mean age of 54.4 years.

[Laparoscopic surgery of recurrent hernias after prosthesis (35 cases)].

We report 35 cases of laparoscopic repair after prosthesis surgery using the classic open technique (19 cases) or laparoscopic technique (16 cases). Most difficulties were observed after intraperitoneal laparoscopy. Hernia repair was preferentially intrapreperitoneal (31 cases).

[Laparoscopic resection-anastomosis in diverticular sigmoiditis and its complications apropos of 65 cases].

From 1992 to 1995, 77 cases of diverticular sigmoiditis were treated laparoscopically. Conversion to open surgery was required in only 6 cases. There were 27 cases with perforated sigmoid including 5 with peritonitis.

[Primary resection-anastomosis in perforated diverticular sigmoiditis. Apropos of 58 cases of peritonitis, 31 of them generalized].

Fifty-eight cases of peritonitis due to perforated sigmoid diverticulitis observed over a period of 10 years were treated by emergency mechanical resection-anastomosis without any post-operative anastomotic complication with a mortality in 2 cases (4%). An early operation with large resection and suture as far as possible from the initial focus give results similar to those of a regular anastomosis. The degree of peritoneal affect and especially the general state of health can impose limits to colectomy in the emergency situation.
