[Interventional sonography after kidney transplantation].

In cases of urinary fistulae as well as lymphoceles the only ultrasound-guided percutaneous nephrostomy has led to a good result. In cases of ureterostenosis and distal fistulae the renal function could be preserved by percutaneous nephrostomy. The anterograde pyelography was exact in demonstrating localization of the stenosis which led to a better operative procedure.

[Experience with uretero-neocystostomy in 338 kidney transplantations].

In 338 consecutive human kidney transplants since 1972 uretero-neocystostomy was performed in a typical manner. The technique is a modification of Leadbetter's ureterosigmoid anastomosis and it is used for all cases of ureteral reimplantation at our institution. The rate of operative complications belonging to the urinary tract is 4.

[Study of large cross sections of infiltrating renal cell carcinoma (pT3) and long-term observation (more than 4 years)].

In a series of 59 consecutive renal cell carcinomas (pT3) cross sections were performed and grading was reevaluated on a cytological basis as described by Thoenes. Follow-up was at least 4 years. Only 20.

Multiple myeloma of the bladder and vagina.

A case is described of multiple myeloma with involvement of the urinary bladder and vagina. The patient was admitted with hematuria and postrenal obstruction. She was treated successfully with local radiotherapy and combination chemotherapy with vincristine, Adriamycin (doxorubicin), and dexamethasone (VAD).

[Accidental finding of a giant retroperitoneal lipoma in a traumatic rupture of the renal parenchyma].

With a rate of 0.1-3% of all tumour cases primary retroperitoneal neoplasms are very rare. Malignant tumours predominate.

[Tuberculosis following kidney transplantation].

Morbidity of tuberculosis following kidney transplantation is about 1% (14/1719 kidney transplantations). All cases occurred within 1 year after transplantation; surprising was the relative high incidence in patients from outside Central Europe. Four patients with lack of clinical symptoms in whom the diagnosis was made by routine X-ray films of the chest survived after immediate therapy while five of ten patients with miliary tuberculosis died although proper treatment was performed.

[Urologic findings in patients with kidney transplantations. Evaluation of a technic for uretero-cysto-neostomy].

74 consecutive human kidney transplants are reported. In 72 cases uretero-cysto-neostomies with an antireflux procedure were performed in a typical way. The technique, a modification of Leadbetter's uretero-sigmoido-neostomy, has been used by the author for years.
