OBJECTIVES Tensile distracting forces caused by elements such as a muscle pull can cause widening of scars in the tissue during the wound healing process. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether induced immobilization of the urethral muscle using botulinum toxin-A (BTX-A) enhances wound healing and also reduces the amount of scar formation in an experimentally induced urethral i...

Sir, We compliment and congratulate the authors of this paper for using urethral mobilisation to correct torsion associated with hypospadias, and appreciate the hard work done in compiling the data for their publication [1]. However, there are a few points in the management of congenital penile torsion and the discussion section of the article that we would like to clarify. 1. There is a spelli...

note, was half-way to the umbilicus and slightly painful. By combined rectal and abdominal examination, the uterus could not be made out and the abdominal swelling was found to be incorporated with it. Haematometra was diagnosed and she consented _to undergo an operation. A vertical incision was made just below the external urethral meatus and the vagina was found to be well developed. There wa...

Introduction. Masses arising from structures adjacent to the female urethra can cause obstructive urinary symptoms. Subpubic cartilaginous pseudocyst is a rare degenerative lesion of pubic symphysis that may cause these symptoms. Materials and Methods. A 61-year- and 57-year-old women presented with symptoms of difficult micturition and dyspareunia. Physical examination revealed a painless smoo...

The incidence of female urethral cancer is rare and accounts for 0.02% of all women’s cancers. It is dominated by epidermoid carcinoma, which most commonly develops in the distal portion of the urethra, extending to inguinal lymph nodes. The diagnosis is confirmed in the distal forms on the basis of uretrocystoscopy with biopsy. Abdominopelvic MRI allows to determine tumor extension as well as ...

Prenatal diagnosis of cloacal abnormalities is a challenge and most suspicious prenatal findings abdominopelvic (AP) cyst. The objective our study to identify new imaging sign, the umbilical artery-aorta (UMA) angle, suspect malformation. In this retrospective we report 3 cases AP cyst, identified in 11–14-week scan. spatial relation between artery aorta sagittal view were evaluated on colour D...

Urethral caruncle (UC) is a benign fleshy outgrowth at the urethral meatus. It was first described by Samuel Sharp in 1750 and occurs mainly at the posterior lip of the urethra, and the exact aetiology is still uncertain. More often it was seen in the postmenopausal women, and only few cases are reported in young girls. Patients may be asymptomatic and could find this as an incidental finding o...
