We studied 52 individuals distributed in five age groups: fetuses, children, adolescents, adults and the elderly. The region of the body of epididymis was obtained by autopsy and immediately fixed by immersion in a solution of 10% buffered formaldehyde, embedded in paraffin and histologically prepared. The samples were observed under an optic microscope. Test-points were counted in 12 random microscopic fields with the M42 test-system. The following stereological parameters were determined: ductal area, volumetric densities (Vv) of the duct, smooth muscle, connective tissue, epithelial duct and blood vessels. The main results distinguished by those whose averages were statistically significant (p < 0.05), showed that the ductal area is 9.7 times greater in the adolescent/adult/elderly group than the children's group. The Vv of the lumen of the epididymis duct occupies 11.7% of the epididymis body in the fetal period, 5.3% in the child and in individuals after puberty this figures reaches more than 15%. The Vv of smooth muscle occupies 28.3% of the body of the epididymis in the fetus and 35.9% in children, but after puberty this figures stays around 22%. The Vv of the connective tissue occupies 26% in prenatal life, 37% in children, and after puberty these figures range from 21 to 27.5%. Comparing the results of the adult group with that of the elderly group there is an increase in the volumetric density of the connective tissue by 18.1%. In conclusion, the epididymal duct area and the Vv of the ductal lumen, smooth muscle and connective tissue were significant comparing the different groups. However, the quantitative relative differences of the duct's epithelium and the blood vessels were not significant comparing these groups. The study of quantitative aspects of the normal human epididymis can increase our knowledge about male fertility.</p>","PeriodicalId":77191,"journal":{"name":"Journal d'urologie","volume":"101 3","pages":"153-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"19537766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There were 1,816 procedures reported, 1,785 suprapubic prostatectomies and 28 perineal operations. Kraske access was used in 3 cases. There were 33 wounds to the rectum reported by 17 operators including 31 in suprapubic prostatectomies (1.7% of the operations) and 2 after transperineal operations (7.14%). Preoperative radiotherapy was never used and mechanical preparation was performed in most of the cases with rectal complications (27/33). The wound was sutured in all cases and a colonic derivation was required in 4. Retrospectively this procedure was judged unnecessary in 2 or 3 cases. The post-operative period was uneventful in all cases and the derivations were closed 2 or 3 months later. The conclusions drawn from this survey were the following: the rate of rectal complications in radical prostatectomy is higher in the perineal route. When no preoperative radiotherapy has been performed, simple suture of the rectal wound is sufficient and colonic derivation is not always necessary. It does not appear necessary to interpose an epiploic flap in such cases which would have the disadvantage of requiring opening the peritoneal cavity. These considerations are only applicable to the nonirradiated rectum. Preoperative radiotherapy would undoubtedly have a major effect, but we have had no experience in this series.</p>","PeriodicalId":77191,"journal":{"name":"Journal d'urologie","volume":"101 2","pages":"65-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"19503551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
