Between 1973 and 1981 23 transplantations of kidneys from living related donors have been performed in Frankfurt/Main. Donor complications were haematopneumothorax (1 case) and reversible urinary tract infections (3 cases). All donors were discharged after 8-12 days, all have until now (6 months to 8 years postoperatively) normal excretory renal function and normal arterial blood pressure. ⋯ One patient died. Results of kidney transplantation using living related donors are--even when donors with only one haplotype-identity are accepted--much better than those obtainable when using cadaveric donors. When renal transplantation is considered, patients should be informed about the favourable results attainable with kidneys from living related donors.

Case ReportsA treatment of detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia: pudendal nerve block by phenolglycerin under the guide of direct nerve stimulation.
While applying direct electrical stimulation to the pudendal nerve and recording of electromyographic reactions of bulbocavernosus muscle and/or transverse perineal muscle, pudendal nerve block by phenol was performed for the treatment of dysuria due to detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia, resulting in a favourable response. The technique and the cases treated with this nerve block are presented.

[Pain relief by means of continuous epidural analgesia after retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (author's transl)].
A retrospective study compares the effectiveness of postoperative epidural analgesia with conventional analgetic medication in cases of retroperitoneal lymph node dissection. Epidural analgesia is noted for its reduced need for additional medication and for its lower incidence of complications.

Case Reports[Excoriation injuries of the penis and scrotum (author's transl)].
In total excoriation of the penis and scrotum caused by injury the immediate manifestations of new skin cover are seen within 8-12 hrs. In the sense of a "postponed emergency" the usual wound toilet should be performed, a bladder catheter introduced, and penis lowered into a subcutaneous tunnel beneath the abdomen. However, in every case, the ultimate goal is formation of a new skin covering via a split skin flap. The testicles should be lowered into a pouch on the thigh where they will not suffer thermal damage.
