Introduction and Objectives ureteroscopy is now a widely used procedure in urology. Technological advances in endourology are used to manage the majority of ureteral stones (1). In this study we evaluated retrospectively our cases of ureteral lithiasis treated by ureteroscopy.

— Leukoplakic urethrotrigonitis is a frequently encountered phlogistic bladder pathology in the female. We present our experience of an endoscopic “peeling” treatment. Follow-up after 1 and 2 years shows a very high percentage of full recovery (94.3%).

HPV are the etiologic agents in condylomas. Serotypes 6-11-16 cause flat or esophytic lesions. A colposcope is used in our Centre, after applying acetic acid, for revealing otherwise invisible male genital lesions from HPV. Our case histories refer to 21 patients with condylomatosis, treated as follows: 13 underwent cryotherapy by means of a device using expanding nitric oxide through a suitable probe; 8 underwent surgical abscission. In all cases beta-interferon was used locally. After a minimum of 3 to a maximum of 16 months, patients are disease free. Our experience with cryotherapy is therefore extremely positive, confirming statements by the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta to the effect that cryotherapy should be considered the preferential treatment for HPV lesions.
