RESUMO
PIP: An effective penile dressing should support the wound, prevent contamination, and minimize edema and hematoma formation. Traditional penile dressings are cumbersome to apply and hard to secure. This report describes use of a condom to provide support after operations on the adult penis. After surgery, the penis is loosely wrapped with sterile gauze and a condom is rolled down over the dressing to the base of the penis. The tip of the condom is cut off and the ring of latex at its base is divided to prevent constriction. Patients can urinate through the excised tip. In 12 patients who received this regimen, the dressing remained in place for the desired duration and condom removal was painless. The most common indication for use of this dressing has been Nesbit's procedure.^ieng

A review of 72 patients who underwent nephrectomy for renal carcinoma between 1971 and 1980 is presented. All survivors were followed for a minimum of 5 years. The clinical features, type of operation and pathological findings were analysed for their influence on survival. Patients with stage 1 to 3 disease had a 65% 5-year survival rate, whereas all patients with stage 4 disease were dead within 2 years. The presence of malaise had a highly significant adverse influence on survival (P = 0.0014).
