    Charles Catton1, Mary Gospodarowicz1, Jimmy Mui1, Tony Panzarella2, Michael Milosevic1, Michael McLean1, Pamela Catton1, Padraig Warde1
    Canadian Journal of Urology, Vol.9, No.1, pp. 1444-1452, 2002
    Abstract Purpose: To retrospectively review the results of conventional dose radical radiotherapy for clinical stage T1 and T2 prostate cancer, and to identify the factors that predict the biochemical relapse-free rate.
    Methods: The records were reviewed of 706 hormonally-naive men with clinical stage T1T2 prostate cancer treated with radical radiotherapy (RT) between 1987-1994 at the Princess Margaret Hospital. The median prostate RT dose was 65 Gy in 35 fractions (range 52 Gy in 20 fractions to 67 Gy in 37 fractions). Pelvic lymph nodes were included in the treatment volume and treated to a median dose of 45… More >

    The efficacy of chondroitin sulfate 0.2% in treating interstitial cystitis

    G. Steinhoff, B. Ittah, S. Rowan
    Canadian Journal of Urology, Vol.9, No.1, pp. 1454-1458, 2002
    Abstract Objective: An open label study of chondroitin sulfate was undertaken to determine the response of patients with interstitial cystitis and positive potassium test results to this agent.
    Method: Eighteen patients with classic features of interstitial cystitis were enrolled in the study. Patients received 40 mL chondroitin sulfate, 0.2% instilled intravesically once a week for four weeks and then once a month for 12 months. At the same times, Quality of Life Improvement scores, voiding diaries, and pain and voiding indices were reviewed.
    Results: Thirteen of 18 patients were followed for the entire 13-month study. Twelve of these patients More >

    Greater reliability of neonatal ultrasonography in defining renal hypoplasia with antenatal hydronephrosis and vesicoureteral reflux

    Walid Farhat, Gordon McLorie, Darius Bagli, Antoine Khoury
    Canadian Journal of Urology, Vol.9, No.1, pp. 1459-1463, 2002
    Abstract Purpose: Infants with history of antenatal hydronephrosis and neonatal vesicoureteral reflux may have detectable changes in renal scans before the advent of urinary tract infection. In cases of bilateral high-grade vesicoureteral reflux, differential renal function on renal scan may not reveal renal hypoplasia since comparison of relative function may be made between two abnormal kidneys. We tested the hypothesis that ultrasonography in the neonatal period may be accurate and complementary to renal scan in detecting renal hypoplasia at birth.
    Materials and methods: Twenty-six infants who presented in the antenatal period with history of hydronephrosis and were noted… More >

    Sclerosing lipogranuloma: an unusual scrotal mass

    Lynn Ann Bussey1, Richard W. Norman1, Rekha Gupta2
    Canadian Journal of Urology, Vol.9, No.1, pp. 1464-1469, 2002
    Abstract Sclerosing lipogranuloma of the male genitalia without a history of injection of exogenous material is extremely rare. This is the first case reported from a Canadian center. This 33 year old man developed sclerosing lipogranuloma of his scrotum 3 months after being diagnosed with infectious mononucleosis. There was no history of injection of exogenous substances or trauma. His lesion was painless, sudden in onset, "Y-shaped", associated with eosinophila and spontaneously regressed after partial resection.
    A review of the available English literature on sclerosing lipogranuloma from 1966 to 2001 was completed to compare our case report… More >

    HOW I DO IT

    Palliative Subcutaneous Tunneled Nephrostomy Tube (PSTN): A simple and effective technique for management of malignant extrinsic ureteral obstruction

    David G. Bell, Marc Anthony Fischer
    Canadian Journal of Urology, Vol.9, No.1, pp. 1470-1474, 2002
    Abstract The establishment and maintenance of effective urinary tract drainage for patients with malignant extrinsic ureteric obstruction is a formidable challenge for the urologist. We have utilized an alternative method of urinary diversion, called Palliative Subcutaneous Tunneled Nephrostomy Tubes (PSTN), for long term urinary tract drainage when intracoropreal stenting has failed or is not tolerated. PSTN provides a simple and effective method of external urinary diversion and preservation of renal function. This technique should be an option in the armamentarium of urologists for management of malignant ureteral obstruction. More >
