Genitourinary structures are at risk of injury during colorectal surgery. The incidence of injury is low; however, the risk is higher in cases involving severe inflammatory or infectious processes, locally advanced or recurrent cancer, previous radiation, and reoperation. Consideration of the anatomical relationship between the genitourinary system, and the colon and rectum is crucial to avoid ...

“Routine” serological testing of patients in genitourinary medicine clinics screens for syphilis but not HIV, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C. Viral hepatitis and HIV are transmitted by sexual intercourse. National anonymised data from routine serological tests showed that patients in genitourinary medicine have a higher risk of testing positive for antibodies to HIV than does the general populatio...

Mesonephric remnants have been rarely reported in the genitourinary system and sometimes impose a diagnostic challenge both clinically and pathologically. We reported a case of mesonephric remnant hyperplasia with mixed acinar/tubular and epididymis/vas deferens-like morphologies occurring in the renal parenchyma of a unilateral hypoplastic kidney, which has not been previously described.

Gastroschisis is often found together with other extra intestinal conditions such as limb, spine, cardiac, central nervous system and genitourinary abnormalities. There are reports of its association with young maternal age. The cases presented here highlight the association of gastroschisis with limbs anomalies and young maternal age.

Urachal remnant is a rare disorder of the genitourinary system. It frequently manifests with urine leakage from the umbilicus but can sometimes present as an infected process. We herein describe a case of a six-year-old male presenting with an urachal abscess initially thought to be a ruptured pelvic appendicitis.

In this review, we show Angiotensin-(1-7) as a novel Renin Angiotensin System mediator that antagonizes cardiovascular and proliferative effects of Angiotensin II and exerts complex renal actions. We also speculate the possibility of new drugs for the treatment of cardiovascular, genitourinary and hepatic diseases by interfering with ACE2-Angiotensin-(1-7)-Mas axis.

Leiomyoma is a rare mesenchymal tumor that can occur in patients of any age. In the genitourinary system the tumor arises most frequently in the uterus, but can occur in any region. The tumor is seen more frequently in women than in men, and can be symptomatic or asymptomatic. Here we present a 23-year-old man who had symptomatic leiomyoma of the bladder.

AGR syndrome (the clinical triad of aniridia, genitourinary anomalies, and mental retardation, a subgroup of WAGR syndrome for Wilm's tumor, aniridia, genitourinary anomalies, and mental retardation) is a rare syndrome caused by a contiguous gene deletion in the 11p13-14 region. However, the mechanisms of WAGR syndrome pathogenesis are elusive. In this study we provide evidence that LGR4 (also ...

patients and methods from april 2009 to november 2011, all patients with gu injuries referred to our hospital were studied. the data including age, sex, type of injury, mechanism of trauma, and prognosis of patients was collected and analyzed. results from a total of 3450 patients, 66 (1.91%) had injuries of the urogenital system; 49(74.24%) were male and 17(25.75%) female. the patients’ mean a...

The etiology of recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) is still unexplained. Many couples do not find the cause of their RSA at all. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the association between recurrent pregnancy loss and previous (cured prior to pregnancy) acute/chronic genitourinary infections in both parents. Couples (226) having two or more (up to six) spontaneous abortions were anal...
