...J. Olsson; L. Rentzhog; H. Hjertberg; R.G. Hahn We evaluated 5 frequently used clinical methods of assessing absorption of irrigation fluid during 118 transurethral prostatic resections. The use of an irrigating solution containing glycine 1.5% and ethanol 1% and subsequent analysis of the alcohol...

...Inger Wall; Hans-Göran Tiselius; Lasse Larsson Experimental irrigation of 15 infectious renal stones with hemiacidrin resulted in complete dissolution of 11 stones within 5 days. Three of the undissolved stones had a calcium oxalate (CaOx) content of more than 10%. Stones containing calcium...

...J.P.A. MacDermott; R. Ewing; B.K. Gray Bacterial filters have been used to sterilise the hospital water supply in order to provide irrigant for postprostatectomy irrigation. This method was compared retrospectively to bladder irrigation derived from a still on the ward. Postoperative bacteriuria...

...Jan Ekengren; Weiben Zhang; Robert G. Hahn We studied the intravesical pressure profile and the fluid absorption in 30 men undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate with the irrigating fluid bags placed 55-60, 70-75, 80-85 or 90-100 cm above the operating table. The maximum intravesical...
