A ureterocele may prolapse through the external urethral meatus and present as an interlabial mass. We report a case of a prolapsing ureterocele measuring 10 cm in diameter.
The explosive increase of violence in our society has imposed hazards of gunshot injuries on the civilian population. The genitourinary system is no longer exempted from such assaults. Although male external genitalia are amongst less commonly involved organs, in a span of 14 months, 4 such cases were managed at our institute. Our experience of such injuries is being highlighted so as to draw attention to their increasing incidence and association with injuries of other organs. Three patients had haemorrhagic shock at initial presentation. They were managed by resuscitation, debridement and repair of wounds. Urethral injuries were dealt initially by diversion and subsequently urethroplasty was performed. In a follow-up of 6–12 months, all the patients were reported to be having normal erections and none of them have developed urethral stricture.
Variants of classical exstrophy are exceedingly rare. We report a case of covered and duplicate exstrophy with duplication of the bladder, urethra and genital tract with dextrocardia.
Congenital anomalies constitute a large proportion of clinical practice in urology, while the unipapillary kidney is a rarity. It is associated with significant morhological or functional abnormalities of the urinary system. We report on a unipapillary kidney and review the literature.
Urethral malignancies are rare while only few cases of urethral carcinoma following urethroplasty have been reported in the literature. We present a case of squamous cell carcinoma at perineal urethrostomy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
