Material for culture for Chlamydia in cell culture has been collected from the urethra in the cases of men and from the cervix, urethra, and ano-rectal canal in the cases of women. The results of different methods of collection have been compared. The methods have been reported by Dunlop and his colleagues (1964, 1965, 1969, 1971); the cell-culture techniques used were the simplified methods of...

INTRODUCTION Various cases of self-inflicted foreign bodies in the male urethra have been reported. Most of them are associated with autoerotic stimulation, psychiatric disorders or intoxication. CASE PRESENTATION We report the first case of a patient who put an Allen key completely in his urethra. The patient presented with dysuria, haematuria and penile pain. CONCLUSION A self-inflicted u...

Methods: The rectourethral prostatic fistula was dissected laparoscopically. Externally, electrostimulation identified the center of the muscle contraction, over which a 1.2 cm of skin incision was made, and the lower part of PTC was created by hemostat forceps guided by electrostimulation. An ultrasonographic probe applied to the perineum demonstrated the urethra, and the forceps was advanced ...

we report a case of human urogenital myiasis in an 86-year-old rural man with a penil ulcer and numerous alive and motile larvae from urethra and glans penis. entomological studies on adult flies showed the larvae were lucilia sericata   and wohlfahrtia magnifica . the clinical presentation and treatment strategies are discussed.

A 60-year-old man presented with dysuria and obstruct ive ur inary symptoms of 2 months’ duration. On examination, he had a polypoid lesion protruding from the urethral meatus [Figure 1]. Urine microscopy showed hematuria and leukocyturia. All other laboratory parameters were within normal limits. Urethrocystoscopy revealed a 32-mm solitary pedunculate lesion arising from the ventral aspect of ...

Squamous cell carcinoma of scrotum is not common. It was the first cancer directly associated with a specific occupation i.e. chimney sweeps. We report a case of squamous cell carcinoma of scrotum developed in a patient of stricture urethra with multiple perineal urinary fistulas treated with lay open urethra with buccal mucosal graft. Tobacco exposed buccal mucosa graft can act as a carcinogen...

Urethral duplication is a rare congenital anomaly, usually found with multiple anatomical variants. In this article was presented a case of urethral duplication in an 8-month-old male child. The malformation was characterized by the presence of continent hypospadic and normal apical urethra. Retrograde urethrogram through both urethral tracts simultaneously revealed the malformation as Effmann ...

Perineal traumas are rarely seen in males, and can affect the anterior urethra and corpus cavernosum of the penis. In this paper, we report the case of a 14-year-old boy admitted to the emergency room with a pencil entering the perineum. We performed perineal exploration and observed that the urethra was totally intact, and that the pencil had entered into the right penile cavernosal structure.

During suprapubic cystostomy using standard technique, there always remains a chance of accidental migration of foley catheter through bladder neck into prostatic urethra. We herein present a point of technique in which by keeping the direction of cannula slot toward umbilicus and making it vertical or slightly tilting its tip toward umbilicus during foley placement, prevents the inadvertent mi...

Urethral caruncles are the most common benign tumors in the female urethra, and are usually found in the posterior lip of the urethral meatus of post-menopausal women. It is very rare in young girls. Its etiology is unknown. We add a case of urethral caruncle occurring in a 2 year and 5 month-old girl's mid-urethra. We believe that further accumulation of unusual cases may be helpful in discove...
