ABSTRACT
Investigations were carried out on dogs in order to study the changes in the prostatic gland after embolization of the internal iliac arteries. The experiments showed that slight fine-celled infiltrations occurred in the interstitial tissue as a result of ischaemia of that organ. The authors are of the opinion that embolization of the internal iliac arteries may be used in clinical practice as a method of treating haemorrhages from the prostatic gland.

The usefulness of the polish tissue adhesive "Chirurcoll-Polfa" for the increase of the bladder wound resistance against distention was investigated on 24 rabbits. The measurements were performed after 3, 7, 10 and 14 days, applying a water manometer. The results proved a distinctly increased resistance against distention of the bladder wounds in the experimental group during the first week. In the latter period of time there were no differences observed between the control and the experimental group.
