Interstitial cystitis: experience and review of recent literature.
The history, clinical findings, endoscopic appearance, and physiopathology of this disease is reviewed. The different modalities of therapy are analyzed and compared with our series of 110 patients with this disease. This group was treated on a conservative but more efficient form with superficial electrofulguration and overdistention with silver nitrate solution. The importance of the cancer incidence in the male patient is also stressed.
