Optimisation of sonourethrography: the clamp method.

Purpose: To describe the clamp method for performing retrograde sonourethrography (RSUG) and contrast-enhanced voiding sonourethrography (CE-VSUG) via the transperineal approach in male adults.

Materials And Methods: Prospective study of 113 males (14-86 years) with urethral strictures confirmed by urethrography who received sonourethrography via the clamp method between 2011 and 2015. The characteristic parameters of the quantitative variables were calculated and a comparative analysis of the qualitative variables was conducted using the McNemar test.

[EXTENDED LYMPHA DENECTOMY SURVIVAL EFFICACY IN PATIENTS WITH ADVANCED GASTRIC CARCINOMA].

OBJECTIVES: Determine the 5-year survival rate, prognostic factors, postoperative morbidity and mortality rates and the accuracy of the Maruyama computer program.MATERIAL and METHODS: This prospective study evaluated 32 patients with advanced gastric adenocarcinoma underwent radical gastrectomy with D2 (n= 13) or D3-D4 (n= 19) extended lymphadenectomy, at Belen Hospital, Trujillo, Peru, from 1990 to 1998.RESULTS: Gastric cancer patients (20 F: 12 M) had a median age of 55.

[Clinic-pathologic pattern and survival range in resectable gastric carcinoma].

The present retrospective study evaluated 180 patients with resectable (Group I ) and 128 patients with unresectable (Group II) gastric carcinoma at Belen Hospital, Trujillo, Peru, from 1966 to 1998, with the aim to identify the clinical and pathological features, actuarial survival rate and surgical morbidity and mortality rates of both groups. The mean age of the total series was of 58.3 + 14.
