A rare case of urethral construction using flipped anterior bladder wall tube in an 8-year-old girl with complete disruption of the urethra and vagina accompanying pelvic fracture was reported. Following a split of the pubic symphysis, the vagina was reconstructed with end-to-end anastomosis. The neourethra was constructed tubularizing and flipping anterior bladder wall flap caudally to proxima...

Radiation to the pelvis, mainly directed against either prostatic or gynecologic cancers, is burdened by a lot of complications. The genitourinary tract is most frequently involved, presenting with bladder irritation, incontinence, and fertility disorders. However, side effects of radiation can also affect the bone, usually causing an osteolytic process which deteriorates the bone structure and...

Hip and groin pain are commonly encountered complaints in orthopedic practice. The diagnosis can be difficult to establish based on the complex interconnected anatomy at the pubic symphysis and around the hip. In addition patients can present with varied pathology, such as labral and cartilaginous injuries, surrounding soft tissue derangement involving muscles or tendons and osseous abnormaliti...

to ensure that the sample of urine is obtained free from any accidental contamination. This may be attempted in one of three ways ; namely, by supra-pubic puncture and aspiration ; by sterilising the meatus urinarius, directing the patient to pass a small quantity of urine, and then receiving the residue in a sterile bottle; or, after first cleansing the meatus, by drawing off the water by mean...

Transmission of the crab louse Phthirus pubis generally occurs by close body contact. Diagnosis is usually clinical and screening for other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is indicated. While most evidence is extrapolated from studies of head lice treatments, topical pediculicides are recommended and treatment of sexual contacts is indicated.

Lice were collected from 24 years old under-graduate veterinary student on his complaint for itching and red rashes on body. The lice thus collected were subjected to microscopic examinations and identified as Phthirus pubis, commonly known as the crab louse, an ecto-parasite which is only found on humans and requires human blood to survive. The infested parts of the body of student was treated...

BACKGROUND Pregnancy-related pubic symphysis pain is relatively common and can significantly interfere with daily activities. Physiotherapist-prescribed pelvic support belts are a treatment option, but little evidence exists to support their use. This pilot compared two pelvic belts to determine effectiveness (symptomatic relief), tolerance (comfort) and adherence (frequency, duration of use). ...

BACKGROUND Fetal growth restriction is among the most common and complex problems in modern obstetrics. Symphysis-fundus (SF) height measurement is a non-invasive test that may help determine which women are at risk. This study is a systematic review of the literature on the accuracy of SF height measurement for the prediction of small-for-gestational-age (SGA) status at birth in unselected and...

G roin pain accounts for approximately 5% of patient visits to sports injury clinics (1). Groin pain is commonly thought of as pain in the area of the inguinal canal, pubic symphysis, and acetabular balland-socket joint. Crowninshield et al. (3) showed that loads of up to 8 times body weight can be distributed to the hips during activities such as jogging. With greater force generated during mo...
