Posterior urethral valves (PUV) present with varying severity and grades of obstruction to the urinary tract. This unusual presentation of PUV as non healing scrotal sinuses after epididymo-orchitis has not been reported earlier. Association of PUV with Down’s syndrome is also rare though reported(1). Epididymo-orchitis is caused by retrograde flow of infected urine through the ejaculatory duct...

The aim of this study was to compare testosterone concentration, body weight, scrotal circumference and age to penis detachment from days 30 to 240 in young Boer goat males (n = 22) born during the dry (n = 11) and the rainy (n = 11) seasons. In the dry season the parameters varied as follows: body weight from 3.7 ± 1.1 to 34.0 ± 4.7 kg, scrotal circumference from 7.9 ± 0.8 to 25.7 ± 2 cm, and ...

PURPOSE To determine the prevalence of unilateral absence of vas deferens (UAVD) in men with both testes seeking vasectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Computerized charts of 23.013 patients encountered between January 1994 and December 2013 in one university hospital and two community clinics of Quebec City, Canada, were searched. Pre-vasectomy consultation, operative reports and semen analysis re...

PURPOSE We performed low scrotal approach orchiopexy in patients with prescrotal cryptorchidism. The processus vaginalis was not ligated if it was not widely patent. We retrospectively evaluated the long-term outcomes of low scrotal approach orchiopexy without processus vaginalis ligation. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 137 patients (227 testes) were diagnosed with prescrotal cryptorchidism...

Testicular malposition represents a common developmental genital defect in dogs and can affect one or both testes. In both humans and dogs, unilateral cryptorchism is more frequently detected and thought to be the expression of a genetic abnormality affecting both the undescended and scrotal testis. In the dog, there is evidence of degenerative processes affecting the maldescended testis. Howev...

Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is a rare malignancy, and little was known about its prognostic factors and optimal treatment. In the current study, we aimed to discuss clinical and pathological features of scrotal EMPD and determine the prognostic factors for cancer-specific survival and local recurrence. A total of 206 patients with scrotal EMPD lesions surgically treated at our institute...

Thirty-six percent of American Wagyu bulls do not meet the current minimum standards set by the Society of Theriogenology for the breeding soundness exam. In contrast, only 15% of bulls of domestic breeds do not meet the minimum standards. Scrotal circumference measurements of Wagyu are smaller than those of other breeds. The objective of this research was to describe scrotal circumference of W...

Lymphangioma is an extremely rare cause of scrotal swelling. We are reporting such a tumor in a one and half year old child presenting with a painless, progressive scrotal swelling. The mass was evaluated and excised completely. Histopathology confirmed it as Lymphangioma.

Scrotal pain is a common complaint in a urological practice. Its diagnosis can prove challenging in both acute and chronic forms and requires a thorough and complete history and physical examination. This article discusses the evaluation and management of several entities of scrotal pain, including testicular torsion, epididymitis, postvasectomy pain, varicocele, and chronic orchialgia.
