Review Case Reports
[Bladder retraction, a complication of chemoprophylaxis of superficial bladder cancer using intravesical mitomycin C. Apropos of a case and review of the literature].
Bladder retraction is a rare complication of contact chemotherapy with mitomycin C in the treatment of superficial bladder cancer. The clinical and histological features and pathophysiology of this lesion are discussed in the light of a recent case.

The authors report their experience of the first 10 patients operated by upper urinary tract lumboscopic surgery. Lumboscopy is performed in the lateral supine position and a simple technique for creation of retropneumoritoneum is described. ⋯ Lumboscopy allowed complete renal exploration, two nephrectomies, two resections of the roofs of compressive parapelvic cysts and one lumbar ureterolithotomy. The ease and rapidity of lumboscopic dissection makes it a valuable alternative to laparoscopy.

Review Case Reports
[Subcapsular renal hematoma after extra corporeal lithotripsy: a case report].
-
For a long time, the treatment of retroperitoneal abscesses was exclusively surgical. Ultrasonography and computed tomography provide new therapeutic approaches to these lesions. The authors report a series of 17 renal and retroperitoneal abscesses treated by primary percutaneous drainage. This treatment generally ensures a favourable course, avoiding the need for surgery, which is still indicated in patients with associated uropathy or after failure of percutaneous drainage.

We report a serial case study of 33 patients from May 1980 to November 1990 presenting a scrotal contusion. In 2/3 of cases, the physical examination showed a scrotal oedema or an hematocele. Ultrasonography showed a testicular injury while clinical examination was subnormal in 2 patients. ⋯ Only 3 orchidectomies were required for the 6 patients who have not been explored surgically, the testis was normal at one month. The follow-up of these young patients is difficult, 11 had been seen again at 1 month. At long term follow-up, three patients had been seen at 1, 3 or 6 years without testicular after-effects.
