INTRODUCTION Animal models of urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction following radical prostatectomy (RP) are lacking. AIMS To develop an animal model of combined post-RP urethral sphincter and erectile dysfunctions, and noninvasive methods to assess erectile function (EF) and urinary sphincter function (USF) during prolonged follow-up. METHODS In the main experiments, 60 male Spragu...

A rare case of anterior urethral valve in association with posterior urethral valuve is reported. Clinical findings are discussed, and the available literature will be briefly reviewed.

Background: Penile fracture is a urological emergency that occurs following traumatic rupture of the tunica albuginea. Patients experience an audible ‘pop’ and immediate detumescence during sexual activity, followed by pain, swelling ecchymosis. It uncommon for patients to present without these typical clinical findings. Case Presentation: This case report describes 33-year-old male with atypic...

Prompt imaging plays an important role in the evaluation of male pelvic soft tissue trauma. Using appropriate imaging modalities, with optimization of contrast administration when appropriate, is essential for accurate diagnosis. Traumatic bladder rupture, either extraperitoneal or intraperitoneal, is diagnosed with high accuracy using computed tomography cystography. Suspicion of urethral inju...

Objective: To explore whether combined detrusor and external urethral sphincter botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) injections can decrease leak point pressure (LPP) in patients with incontinence secondary to spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods: A prospective, single-center, single-blind and randomized controlled trial was conducted from June 2013 to August 2015. SCI patients with urinary incontinence seco...

BACKGROUND There are two fundamental selections for the management of traumatic posterior urethral injury, delayed repair or early primary realignment. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the complications of primary realignment of posterior urethral disruption. PATIENTS AND METHODS This retrospective descriptive cross-sectional study was done at the Shohada-ye Ashayer University...

Ectopic anus is an atypical uncommon variant of broad spectrum of anorectal malformation. We present a case of a 22 day old neonate with anus placed within scrotum. After surgical intervention a neoanus was created within sphincter complex and good functional result was achieved. Patient had urethral injury intraoperatively which was managed by urethrostomy. Subcoronal hypospadias and urethrost...
