RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Quality is defined as an essential and distinguishing attribute of something, which allows to evaluate its worth. The quality evaluation has become something necessary during the last years. The assistencial quality should be something inherent to the offered service, including scientific and technical quality, management and quality noticed. A periodical assesment, as auto-evaluation or through an outsourcing, is a recommendable way to detect potential improvement items. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Using the EFQM,ISO 9001:2000 and Malcolm Baldrige model, and through the items from National Health System, a self-questionnaire of urological emergency room quality evaluation is proposed. CONCLUSION: A new self-questionnaire of urological emergency room quality evaluation is proposed.

BACKGROUND: One of the prostate cancer progression complications is the obstructive uropathy, by infiltration and compression of the distal ureteral section, that can entail to an acute renal insufficiency, with affectation of the quality of life and the survival of these patients. The treatment of prostate cancer with secondary ureterohidronefrosis is palliative and following the present tendencies, the positioning of a nephrostomy is considered. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A search was made in PUBMED and the most representative articles were reviewed. The algorithm was constructed with the daily routine clinical base, the protocol of our center and with the scientific evidence available in medical literature. RESULTS: An algorithm of decisions sets out to define the urinary derivation in patients with obstructive uropathy secondary to prostate cancer. CONCLUSIONS: The indication to place a nephrostomy in patients with obstructive uropathy secondary to prostate cancer must be approached individually, according to the general conditions and the quality of life of the patient with base in scales defined in literature (ECOG and Karnofsky) and in factors of good or bad prognosis, always considering ethical considerations and the consent of the patient and his family.

We present the clinical case of a 40 years male patient who, after a TURBt for non-muscle invasive recurrence with inadverted vesical perforation and Mitomycin C immediate instillation, come in his fourth postoperative day to the emergency room with severe irritative urinary symptomatology. An ultrasound was indicated, documenting a perivesical collection. The management was conservative with vesical drilling for 10 days and a puncture/drainage was necessary to solve it.

Introduction. The small renal masses (SRMs) have increased over the past two decades due to more liberal use of imaging techniques. SRMs have allowed discussions regarding their prognostic, diagnosis, and therapeutic approach. Materials and methods. Clinical presentation, incidental diagnosis, and prognosis factors of SRMs are discussed in this review. Results. SRMs are defined as lesions less than 4 cm in diameter. SRM could be benign, and most malignant SMRs are low stage and low grade. Clinical symptoms like hematuria are very rare, being diagnosed by chance (incidental) in most cases. Size, stage, and grade are still the most consistent prognosis factors in (RCC). An enhanced contrast SRM that grows during active surveillance is clearly malignant, and its aggressive potential increases in those greater than 3 cm. Clear cell carcinoma is the most frequent cellular type of malign SRM. Conclusions. Only some SRMs are benign. The great majority of malign SRMs have good prognosis (low stage and grade, no metastasis) with open or laparoscopic surgical treatment (nephron sparing techniques). Active surveillance is an accepted attitude in selected cases.
