The economics off leak detection and repair—a case study

This article analyzes the costs and benefits of a leak detection and repair program for a publicly owned water utility. The characteristics of different types of leaks and the accuracy of the detection method used are also discussed. The results of the analysis demonstrate that benefits outweigh costs and that the program has led to a substantial decrease in unaccounted‐for water without incurring greater repair costs for the system.

Diagnosis and Treatment of a Urinary Leak After Ureteroileal Conduit for Diversion

Of 1,120 cases of ileal loop urinary diversion reviewed from our hospital 21 postoperative loop leaks were noted (1.87 per cent). Definite indications for diagnostic studies of urinary extravasation include persistent postoperative azotemia, sepsis and/or urinary leakage via the drains. In this series 2 types of loop leaks were noted--an early postoperative leak within the first 24 hours and a leakage 6 to 12 days postoperatively. More aggressive management of postoperatively urinary extravasation is urged, especially in patients who had been irradiated and suffered leakage later on in the postoperative course.
