Review
A 63-year-old female with a complaint of pollakisuria was referred to our clinic for the treatment of bilateral hydronephrosis. Ultrasonography, computerized tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed bilateral hydronephrosis due to stenosis of the vesicoureteral junction, which was caused by a nodular mass on the posterior wall of the bladder. Cystoscopy revealed a yellowish-white mass on the trigone. Bilateral percutaneous nephrostomy for the treatment of chronic renal failure due to bilateral hydronephrosis and transurethral resection of bladder tumor were performed. Histological findings indicated a chronic granuloma with Michaelis-Gutmann body and the tumor was diagnosed as vesical malacoplakia. Oral administration of trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole, bethanecol chloride and vitamin C was done for the conservative therapy of malacoplakia. However, stenosis of the vesicoureteral junction remained. Then, bilateral vesicoureteroneostomy was performed and there was no obvious recurrence of malacoplakia 20 months postoperatively.

We evaluated the effectiveness and side effects of long-term administration of terodiline hydrochloride in patients with chief complaints of pollakisuria or incontinence or both due to unstable bladder or neurogenic bladder associated with uninhibited contraction. The dose was 24 mg once daily. The symptoms such as pollakisuria and incontinence improved in 31 out of 41 patients (76%). Mild side effects were observed in 12 out of 47 patients (26%), which were thirst, dizziness, dysuria, urticaria and gastrointestinal symptoms. An increasing tendency of both maximum desire to void and compliance (p less than 0.10), and significant difference in maximum static pressure (p less than 0.05) were observed on urodynamic examinations before and after administration of this medicine. The results obtained from this study suggest that terodiline hydrochloride may be greatly recommended for patients with such symptoms as pollakisuria and incontinence.

Review
An 18-year-old female consulted a clinic complaining of pollakisuria and urinary incontinence. She was referred to our department for operation under the diagnosis of vesicovaginal fistula due to a vaginal foreign body confirmed by intravenous pyelography and cystoscopic examination. About 7 months earlier, she inserted a hair spray can into the vagina but could not remove its cap. The vaginal foreign body was transvaginally removed. After 2 months, transabdominal repair of the vesicovaginal fistula was performed. After operation, dysuria and urinary incontinence were not observed. Few cases of vesicovaginal fistula due to a foreign body in the vagina have been reported, and there have been only 6 reported cases in Japan including ours.

INTRODUCTION
Cases of patients with inguinoscrotal hernia containing the urinary bladder are very rare. These patients usually present with frequent episodes of urinary tract infection, difficulty in walking, pollakisuria and difficulty in initiating micturition because of incarceration of the urinary bladder into the scrotum.
CASE PRESENTATION
We describe the case of an 80-year-old Caucasian man with an incarcerated urinary bladder into the scrotum who underwent surgical repair with mesh.
CONCLUSIONS
Diagnosis of such cases often requires not only clinical examination but also specialized radiological examinations to show the ectopic position of the urinary bladder. Surgical repair in these patients is a real challenge for surgeons.

Cystometry and urethral pressure profile were determined in 41 patients (29 males and 12 females) with voiding disorders resulting from cerebrovascular accidents within one year after the episode. By clinical symptoms, they were classified into 3 groups, urge incontinence (14 patients, 34%), pollakisuria (10 patients, 24%) and dysuria (17 patients, 41%). Cystometrogram were classified into 3 types, hyperactive bladder (31 patients, 76%), normal bladder (5 patients, 12%) and hypoactive bladder (5 patients, 12%). All patients in both groups of incontinence and pollakisuria showed hyperactive bladder except one normal bladder, while in the group of dysuria 3 types of cystometrograms were observed. Bladder capacity in incontinence group showed tendency to be smaller than that in dysuria group who had hyperactive bladder. Maximum urethral pressure in incontinence group was significantly lower than that in pollakisuria group and dysuria group who had hyperactive bladder. Ten patients with cerebral cortical lesions (80%) showed hyperactive bladder and 60% of them showed incontinence. In patients with cerebral lesions who had hyperactive bladder, the maximum urethral pressure of patients with incontinence showed tendency to be lower than that of patients with pollakisuria and dysuria. The majority of 7 patients with thalamic lesions showed hyperactive bladder and normal urethral pressure, and had dysuria. Two patients with pontine lesions showed hypoactive bladder. These findings suggested that urge incontinence resulting from cerebrovascular accidents was due not only to hyperactive bladder but also to lower urethral pressure.

Review
We herein present two cases prostatic leiomyosarcoma. The first case was in a 45-year-old man who presented at our department with the chief complaints of pain on voiding and pollakisuria on November 13, 1996. Ultrasonography and computed tomographic (CT) scan revealed a prostatic tumor. A histological examination of biopsy specimens revealed leiomyosarcoma of the prostate. Total prostatectomy and partial cystectomy were performed. No adjuvant therapy was performed. He is still alive without disease 12 months after operation. The second case was in a 63-year-old man who was admitted to our hospital for treatment of a lung tumor and colon polyp on February 28, 1997. CT scans showed a large prostatic tumor and multiple tumors in the lung, liver and bilateral kidneys. He was referred to our department for evaluation of the prostatic tumor. A transrectal needle biopsy of the prostate for histological diagnosis revealed leiomyosarcoma. No treatment was performed and he died 3 months later. In addition, 57 cases of prostatic leiomyosarcoma collected from the Japanese literature are also reviewed.

Review
Clear cell adenocarcinoma of the female urethra is extremely rare. We herein describe the 33rd case of clear cell adenocarcinoma of the female urethra in Japan. A 54-year-old female who presented with pollakisuria was referred to our department. Transvaginal examination showed a walnut-sized firm mass on the anterior vaginal wall. Computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), cystourethroscopy and the histopathological findings of the biopsied specimen revealed adenocarcinoma of the urethra. Anterior pelvic exenteration and ileal conduit urinary diversion were performed and the final pathological diagnosis was clear cell adenocarcinoma of the urethra, pT3, pN2. No further adjuvant therapy was conducted. She remains alive 6 months after surgery in spite of paraaortic and inguinal lymph node metastases.

Review
We report a rare case of primary transitional cell carcinoma of the prostate. A 66-year-old man was referred to our hospital with the chief complaints of pollakisuria and residual urine sensation on January 21, 1998. Under a preoperative diagnosis of benign prostatic hyperplasia, transurethral resection of the prostate was performed. Histopathological examination revealed grade 3 transitional cell carcinoma. Then the transrectal needle biopsy of the prostate and random biopsy of the urinary bladder were performed. Since no metastatic tumors or tumor cells were detected in either the prostate or urinary bladder or any other organs, this patient was diagnosed with primary transitional cell carcinoma of the prostate. Three courses of adjuvant chemotherapy (M-VAC) were performed, and tumor recurrence was not recognized 9 months after the operation. This is the 35th case of primary transitional cell carcinoma of the prostate in the Japanese literature.

Review
A 64-year-old man was referred to our hospital with chief complaints of gross hematuria and pollakisuria. Cystoscopic examination showed non-papillary broad basis tumor on the left lateral wall involving the left ureteral orifice. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging revealed left hydronephrosis and urinary bladder tumor which extended outside of the bladder wall. Transurethral biopsy showed grade 3 urothelial carcinoma with glandular differentiation including signet ring cells. Radical cystectomy, left nephrureterectomy and right ureterocutaneostomy were performed. Pathological examination showed urothelial carcinoma; pT3aN0. Lymph node metastasis occurred five months later. Three courses of M-VAC chemotherapy (methotrexate, vinblastine, adriamycin, cisplatin) were done with little effectiveness. Sixteen months after the operation, he complained of anorexia and tenesmus, and CT showed annular thickening of the rectal wall. A fecal diversion was performed, but he died two months later.

The quality of life (QOL) after transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) was studied. A total of 113 patients were operated and released, and 86 (76%) cases responded to the TURP follow-up survey. The average age was 69 years and the average time elapsed after the operation was 220 days. Data regarding the patients undergoing TURP was gathered from a questionnaire consisting of 22 questions concerning the preoperative condition and 28 about the post-operative state. Performance status was not changed post-TURP. The patients showed improvements in nocturia, pollakisuria and dysuria. These urological symptoms were in accordance with the findings of uroflowmetry and American Urological Association Symptom Index. Ten questions addressing the patients mental and physical conditions revealed that good quality was generally retained. Sexual activity showed a tendency of gradual decrease in relation to increasing age. Ejaculatory function and actual satisfaction with the sexual act were obviously damaged by the operation. TURP showed no changes in regard to morning erection, sexual desire in an arousing atmosphere, penile hardness at sex and total satisfaction with the sexual life. Social life, family life and mental status were not influenced, but the physical status of 21 (26%) of the patients was decreased by the operation and hospital stay. Over all, 78% of the patients could maintain a good quality of life in post-TURP.
