Fournier's disease is a very rare and highly fatal necrotizing fasciitis of genital and perineal tissues. Conventional treatment of Fournier's disease includes surgical debridement and antibiotic therapy. We describe a case of Fournier's disease where we added hyperbaric oxygen therapy to the conventional treatment regimen.

Metastatic carcinoma to the testis is very rare. Metastasis of prostate adenocarcinoma to testis was detected incidentally after bilateral orchiectomy for hormonal management of metastatic prostate carcinoma. The metastatic lesion was not identified in physical examination or in macroscopic dissection of the testis after surgery. Microscopy revealed an adenocarcinoma which, given the history of the patient and a positive immunohistochemical stain for PSA, was identified as metastatic prostatic adenocarcinoma.Int

Hydatid disease of the urinary tract is uncommon, accounting for only 2% to 3% of all hydatid diseases.We report 4 patients with hydatid cystic disease of the kidney. Nephrectoniy was performed on 1 patient because of the destruction of renal parenchyma by the hydatid cyst. The other 3 patients were treated by cystectomy to preserve the normal renal parenchyma. In these cases, Casoni's intradermal test and indirect hemagglutination (IHA) test were not found to be helpful in the diagnosis, and eosinophilia was not significant. Diagnostic features of hydatid cysts were mixed echogenicity on ultrasonography, and multivesicular cyst with mixed density on computerized tomography (CT). CT was the most useful and specific investigation. N o complications were noted during the first 3 months of the follow-up. Despite its rarity, hydatid disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis of spaceoccupying lesions of the urinary tract. Parenchyma-sparing surgery (cystectomy, partial nephrectoniy) or nephrectomy are the main treatment modalities.

A case is described of a patient whose right upper ureter had been injured during appendectomy. The defect was too long so we performed ileal substitution for ureter.

Pudendal syndrome is primarily characterized by stress urinary incontinence, dysuria, sexual arousal syndrome, painful erections, and anal incontinence. The syndrome occurs when the pudendal nerve or one of its branches is compressed, stretched, or injured. Double crush is the compression of a peripheral nerve at two or more separate areas with various signs and symptoms. We, herein, aimed to introduce the case of a 42-year-old male who underwent the distal release procedure due to the diagnosis of “double crush pudendal syndrome” following a proximal release surgery previously performed elsewhere. The patient’s history revealed a pelvic fracture with urethral injury 27 years ago. Throughout the years, the patient had been evaluated by various medical disciplines and undergone several treatments. In 2017, an orthopedic surgeon performed proximal pudendal nerve release using transgluteal approach, and then rectal pain and defecation complaints relieved. However, in 2019, the patient was referred to our clinic because of the persistence of erection and perineal complaints after the proximal pudendal nerve release. Based on a detailed clinical and laboratory assessment, the diagnosis of double crush neuropathy was established, and distal release of the pudendal nerve using transperineal approach was performed. To determine the efficiency of the surgical treatment, International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) and Quality of Erection Questionnaire (QAQ) tests were used preoperatively and at the first postoperative year. Furthermore, to assess the perineal pain, erection pain, and pain during intercourse Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was used. The erectile dysfunction improved from the severe degree (9 points) to the mild degree (22 points) postoperatively. The patient’s general and sexual satisfaction scores, and erection quality score improved compared to the preoperative baseline. According to VAS, the perineal pain, erectile pain, and pain during intercourse decreased postoperatively. (from 7 to 2 out of 10, from 8 to 3 out of 10, from 7 to 2 out of 10, respectively). When perineal and sexual complaints are encountered following pelvic trauma, the pudendal nerve-related problems, especially double crush syndrome, should be kept in mind in differential diagnosis. A multidisciplinary approach must be established in order to avoid any delay in diagnosis and treatment. Surgical intervention may provide a significant improvement in clinical and functional status.
