We describe a case of an infant born at 39 weeks of gestation who was in the neonatal intensive care unit for postoperative management of congenital heart disease and underwent bedside ultrasound-guided percutaneous cystostomy to treat an iatrogenic urethral injury. The procedure was uneventful, successful, and no complications were noted. This case demonstrates that this procedure is safe and ...

In this work, we will study the Hurst parameter embedded in the discrete-time fraction Gaussian noise (DFGN) and derive the entropy with this parameter. It will be applied to the electromyogram (EMG) of external urethral sphincter (EUS). These signals come from intact rats and the injured ones from spinal cord injury (SCI). Analysis indicates that we can discriminate between intact and SCI rats...

Background: Urethral caruncles are benign lesions of the distal urethra which have been most commonly described in post-menopausal women. Over the years, urethral caruncles had been described in women. However, in 2012, Karthikeyan and associates [1] reported a urethral caruncle in a male. Urethral caruncles resemble a variety of urethral lesions including: urethral carcinoma; urethral divertic...

Introduction. Iatrogenic ureteral injuries are an important part of all injuries. They occur primarily during urological, gynecological, vascular, and general procedures. Urethral injury spinal surgery is a rare complication. We wanted to emphasize that there should be limitations the use surgical instruments used in spine surgery. Outlines cases. present cases occurred two patients with lumbar...

Solid urethral and peri-urethral lesions are rare and encompass benign and malignant aetiologies. A diagnosis without imaging is often challenging secondary to non-specific clinical symptoms and overlapping findings at the time of physical examination. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging may be helpful in confirming a diagnosis while providing anatomical detail and delineating disease extent. This ...

Purpose: Pelvis fractures are associated with bladder and urethral injury (BUI). The purpose of this study was to identify risk factors BUI in patients pelvic fracture.Methods: Patients (> 18 years) (<i>N</i> = 314) at our hospital between January 2015 June 2020 were retrospectively analyzed for age, sex, cause injury, initial vital signs, urine red blood cell (RBC) count, Glasgo...
