BACKGROUND Although two-stage reimplantation for infected hip arthroplasty has a high success rate, the protocols of the antibiotic therapy after resection arthroplasty have varied in different reports. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of two-stage reimplantation for infected hip arthroplasty using our protocol of combined parenteral and oral antibiotic therapy an...

PURPOSE We report functional results of the orthotopic ileal neobladder using a serous-lined extramural tunnel as an antireflux procedure. MATERIAL AND METHODS One-stage radical cystectomy and orthotopic ileal W-shaped neobladder creation were performed in 353 male and 97 female patients for invasive bladder cancer. The ureters were reimplanted using a serous-lined extramural tunnel for reflu...
