Objectives: To evaluate the effect of age in morbidity-mortality and outcomes of the surgical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Method: We performed a retrospective analysis of the medical records of 305 patients over 70 years undergoing surgery for BPH between 1999-2003, grouped in four categories depending on ages 70-80 years and over 80, and type of surgery (transurethral resection or open prostatectomy). The variables evaluated were: American society of anesthesiologists (ASA) operative risk classification, surgical indication, preoperative factors, postoperative outcome and follow-up.
Objectives: We report a retrospective review of the case series of Fournier's gangrene treated in our department from November 1996 to October 2004.
Methods/results: We studied nine male patients with ages between 21 and 85 years (mean 55 years). 66% of the patients had associated risk factors, and the underlying cause was identified in 56% of the cases.
Objectives: We report one case of solitary fibrous tumor of the tunica vaginalis, a benign paratesticular lesion.
Methods: Surgical exploration with intraoperative biopsy and excision of the lesion was undertaken, leaving the testicle and epididymis undamaged.
Results: Intraoperative biopsy revealed the presence of fibrous tissue without malignant cellularity.
Objectives: To report one case of uterine perforation and migration into the urinary bladder of an intrauterine contraceptive device.
Methods/results: 42-year-old female patient who presents with lower urinary tract irritative syndrome in association to recurrent urinary tract infection. Ultrasound revealed apart of an intrauterine device inside the bladder, device which was inserted years before and was supposed to have come out spontaneously.
