TL;DR: The clinicopathologic staging of bladder cancer is the main prognostic aid in superficial tumor since it has close relation to the degree of differentiation of the tumor and the observed degree of its progression in the 238 cases of this series.

TL;DR: A description of the normal transit time and electrophysiology of impulses in the pudendal reflex pathways concerned with ejaculation is described.

TL;DR: The use of intravesical instillation of 1 per cent formalin solution should be considered in all patients suffering with massive bladder hemorrhage.

TL;DR: Adrenalectomy or hypophysectomy performed as secondary treatment at the time of relapse with associated lung metastases was found more frequently to improve the appearance of the lung metastatic lesions than other forms of treatment.

TL;DR: Despite the close association of acute urinary retention with infarction of the prostate, the exact mechanism in the production of acute retention is as yet undetermined.

TL;DR: The history of cystoscopy begins with Doctor Bozzini of Frankfort in 1807, and the instruments, presently used by urologists, are refinements of the cystoscope-prototype of Maximilian Nitze, first demonstrated in 1877.

TL;DR: The sixth case of perineal extension of adenocarcinoma of the prostate apparently following needle biopsy is reported, with a brief review of the literature.

TL;DR: In this paper, infection was cured by simple perineal prostatectomy and total prostatolithotomy; persistence of infection occurred in 1 patient following simple retropubic prostatectoma and prostatiscopy.

TL;DR: This tumor is a rare but distinct variant of squamous carcinoma and on gross examination has a warty keratotic appearance with a pushing rather than infiltrative deep margin, and is a low-grade, low-stage tumor, with no tendency for invasion or metastasis.

TL;DR: A surgical procedure has been described which promises cure of the disease and if complications should occur, these are correctable.

TL;DR: In this article, the Helmstein hydrostatic pressure balloon technique was used for non-extirpative treatment of impractable bladder hemorrhage in patients unsuited for cystectomy.

TL;DR: While surgery remains the treatment of choice for larger, exophytic tumors, especially those involving more than glans and prepuce, radiation therapy is often useful in the management of selected nondeeply infiltrating penile cancers 3 cm.

TL;DR: The data obtained suggest a number of deficiencies and discrepancies in the medical and paramedical staff's approach to the terminally ill patient, which emphasize the patient's desire for complete openness and honesty in discussions regarding diagnosis and prognosis.

TL;DR: A cautious recommendation is made for this conservative form of treatment in selected cases of vesical rupture in cases of ruptured bladder managed solely by indwelling urethral catheter drainage.

TL;DR: The technique has been shown to be safe and useful for reestablishing the urinary transit in kidney transplantation and extravesical ureteral implantation, and in only 3.4 per cent have these complications been responsible for the death of the patients.

TL;DR: A method was devised to calculate individual kidney function by injecting 99m technetiutn-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid, gluconate, or glucoheptonate intravenously and to determine the radioactive uptake by and the contribution of each kidney to total renal function.

TL;DR: Eighteen cases of bladder diverticula are presented and the clinical features discussed and theories for development of this abnormality are discussed.

TL;DR: The technique is simple and is easily performed, using local anesthesia with less complication than transurethral or open perineal cryosurgery.

TL;DR: This regimen may be unacceptable to some patients and physicians because long-term follow-up semen examinations are required to document late recanalization.

TL;DR: It is suggested that in patients with chronic bacterial prostatitis, minocycline should be considered as a possible means of eradicating the organism from prostatic tissue, although the low prostatic fluid levels may preclude sterilizing the prostatic secretion of these patients.

TL;DR: Histologic examination of foreskins submitted from circumcisions in patients with phimosis revealed 22 cases of posthitis xerotica obliterans from 1956 to mid-1973, with the youngest being four years.

TL;DR: Evaluation of the effectiveness of several chemotherapeutic agents on this tumor indicated that cyclophosphamide and cis-diammine dichloroplatinum (CACP) significantly inhibited tumor growth and prolonged the median survival time of tumor-bearing animals.

TL;DR: A complication of cyclophosphamide therapy is presented herein, which is often followed by bladder hemorrhage.

TL;DR: A unique family study, representing 124 members in four generations, finds that Ultrasound offers definite advantages over standard urographic and isotopic methods in the early diagnosis of polycystic kidney disease.
