BACKGROUND Cloacal malformation is a spectrum of diseases affecting females, resulting in abnormal confluence of the urinary system, genital system, and/or gastrointestinal system. Proper reconstruction depends mainly on accurate preoperative illustration of the abnormal anatomy. Among the various modalities to delineate the urogenital sinus and the distances to confluence, lies the radiologica...

OBJECTIVE To determine the role of ascending urethrogram in decision making for patients with suspected urethral strictures. METHODS Medical Records were reviewed of male patients presenting with lower urinary tract symptoms who were subjected to ascending urethrogram and selected cases for cystourethroscopy from January 2001 to December 2002. Cystourethroscopy was performed on those patients...

DOI: 10.21276/sjams.2017.5.9.36 Abstract: The diagnosis and management of bladder outlet obstruction among postmenopausal patients is a complex process with various modalities available for its diagnosis. Cystourethroscopy is an important tool for the same and we intend to study if it is enough in the diagnosis of the presence and degree of bladder outlet obstruction in post-menopausal female p...

We describe a case of recurrent left-sided epididymitis secondary to severe idiopathic posterior urethritis extending to left seminal vesicle and vas deference with associated urethrovasal reflux (UVR). Cystourethroscopy and micturating cystourethrogram were essential for the diagnosis. Following cystourethroscopy, intravesical, and urethral instillation of topical steroid triamcinolone, patien...

OBJECTIVE To estimate whether the use of a low-cost cystoscopy model effectively trains residents in cystourethroscopy and to validate the model as a teaching tool. METHODS A randomized, controlled, and evaluator-blinded study was performed. Twenty-nine obstetrician-gynecologist residents had access to fresh-frozen cadavers on which baseline cystoscopic skills were assessed using the validate...

BACKGROUND Vaginal stones may form in the setting of mesh exposure with urinary incontinence. This report serves to help understand the presentation, evaluation, and management of vaginal urinary stones. CASE A 68-year-old female presented with a vaginal calculus. She had a history of anterior and posterior polypropylene mesh placement for prolapse 7 years earlier and urinary incontinence. Th...

INTRODUCTION Cystourethroscopy (CS) is an endoscopic method used to visualize the urethra and the bladder. AIM In this study, we prospectively evaluated pain in men undergoing cyclic cystoscopic assessment with rigid and flexible instruments after transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURB). MATERIAL AND METHODS One hundred and twenty male patients who were under surveillance after a TU...

Various different objects have been reported to strangulate the penis. We reported on a patient who used metal radiator clamps for an extended period of time. Workup included history, physical examination and urinalysis. The patient was taken to the operating room for further evaluation with cystourethroscopy and orthopedic wire cutters were used to break the metal bands.
