Urethral obstruction may be caused by prostatic hypertrophy, urethral stricture, or encrustation of a urethral-catheter lumen. Bacteriuria often complicates these obstructions. The sequelae include fever, acute pyelonephritis, chronic renal inflammation, and death. We hypothesized that even brief obstruction of the urinary tract containing a nonvirulent bacterium would result in these complicat...

Pet rabbits medicine takes an increasing place in small animal practice. Despite significant progress in lagomorph medicine, surgery, and imaging, there are still numerous unexplored areas. The study of external otitis in the rabbit is almost exclusively limited to parasitic otitis [2]. However, pet rabbits like dogs and cats can be seen for non parasitic external otitis (allergic, fungal, or b...

in this report we introduce two cases of penile agenesis. the first case was a newborn with male appearance and a well developed scrotum containing two normal testes, but the penis and urethral meatus were absent. the bladder was connected to the rectum by an intra-abdominal canal. the second case was a premature newbron of 32 weeks, who died in the first day of life. in addition to penile agen...

Apocrine hidrocystomas (cystadenomas) are cystic cutaneous neoplasms derived from apocrine sweat glands (1, 2), and they most often present in adults as solitary (rarely multiple) lesions involving the head, eyelids and neck (3). They are also reported infrequently in the apocrine gland bearing areas like axillae, areola of the nipple, periumbilical, anal, and genital areas (3, 4). We present a...

Background: In hypospadias urethral meatus opens onto the ventral surface of penis proximal to tip glans and its surgery is challenging. Recent focus on reduction postoperative complications objective assessment penile anthropometry which can affect outcome. Aim study was assess surgical outcome tubularised incised plate urethroplasty biometric parameters among children with coronal, distal mid...

PURPOSE When not recognized and treated aggressively, lichen sclerosus may progress and cause debilitating symptoms. It also may result in significant morbidity in patients undergoing treatment for urethral strictures because unrecognized, it may result in rapid and severe recurrence after surgical treatment. We present our experience treating patients with lichen sclerosus in an equal access h...

Median raphe cysts (MRC) are uncommon, benign congenital lesions that may present anywhere in the midline between the urinary meatus and the anus, with the shaft of the penis and the glans penis being the most common sites. We report a 52-year-old man with median raphe cyst unusually located in perianal region and treated by surgical excision.

PURPOSE To report the prevalence and risk factors of penile lesions/anomalies in a Metropolitan Brazilian city. MATERIALS AND METHODS All participants undergoing prostate cancer screening in the city of Curitiba were systematically examined to identify penile lesions including cutaneous mycosis, sexually transmitted diseases, penile cancer, meatal stenosis, hypospadias, and Peyronie's disease...
