BMC Urology 2008, 8 :8
The application of small intestine submuscosa to secure and aid compression of the renal defect following nephron-sparing surgery prevents post-operative complications such as bleeding and fistula formation.
BMC Urology 2008, 8 :6
Sutureless prepuceplasty allows phimosis in children to be treated by stretching and retraction, allowing free movement of the foreskin without subsequent pain, bleeding or complications.
BMC Urology 2008, 8 :5
Cecropin A and B exert selective cytotoxic and antiproliferative effects in bladder cancer cells while sparing benign fibroblasts, suggesting that further study of these polypeptides as a potential intravesical tumor therapy is warranted.
