We evaluated whether or not intraurethral instillation of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) solution can rapidly, safely, and effectively eradicate intraurethral condyloma acuminata in a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) carrier. A 43-year-old man presented with the major complaint of difficult micturition and blood dribbling from the urethral meatus for more than 6 months. He was an HIV carrier for more ...

BACKGROUND The 2008 American Urological Association (AUA) Best Practice Statement on antimicrobial prophylaxis states that prophylaxis is not warranted for subjects with normal risk profile undergoing cystourethroscopy unless manipulation such as ureteral stent removal is performed. To date no studies have specifically assessed the need for antimicrobial prophylaxis during cystoscopic ureteral ...

Abstract Introduction Artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) implantation is one of the most common treatment options for individuals with severe stress incontinence (SUI), which a complication after radical prostatectomy (RP). The modern AUS consists urethral cuff, pump, and reservoir, serves as replacement native incompetent sphincter. There are various surgical approaches insertion, including tr...

A 68-year-old man presented with gross hematuria. A papillary urethral tumor adjacent to the verumontanum was found by cystourethroscopy. Serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) was 3.246 ng/ml. A transurethral biopsy specimen was most suggestive of a primary urothelial carcinoma of the prostate, for which a radical cystoprostatectomy was performed. The final pathology was prostatic ductal adenoc...

Risk factors of urethral recurrence after neobladder in bladder cancer patients were studied. Between 1977 and 2001, 73 patients (male 58, female 15) underwent neobladder as a treatment for bladder cancer. The observation time after cystectomy ranged from 2 to 254 months (median 60.5). Ten (17.2%) of 58 male patients had urethral recurrence and of the 10, 8 patients had multiple bladder cancers...

BACKGROUND Synthetic mid-urethral mesh slings are the most common primary surgical treatment for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and have been designated as the standard of care by the American Urogynecologic Society. In recent years, synthetic mesh has come under increased scrutiny by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) due to concerns over patient safety. This has led to more surgeons and...

Urethra Secondary cancer Urethral caruncle Abstract Secondary female urethral cancer presenting as urethral caruncle is extremely rare. We report a primary ovarian adenocarcinoma in a 78-year-old female patient presented initially as a urethral caruncle. This case represents the first reported case in the world literature. The clinical features, investigations and pertinent literature are revie...

OBJECTIVE To provide general gynaecologists and urogynaecologists with clinical guidelines for the management of recurrent urinary incontinence after pelvic floor surgery. OPTIONS Evaluation includes history and physical examination, multichannel urodynamics, and possibly cystourethroscopy. Management includes conservative, pharmacological, and surgical interventions. OUTCOMES These guideli...

Purpose: We describe and assess a method of urethrolysis using a transvaginal suprameatal approach without lateral perforation of the urethropelvic ligament. Materials and Methods: Between March 1993 and December 1997,32 consecutive women 32 to 79 years old underwent suprameatal transvaginal urethrolysis at 2 institutions. In all cases anti-incontinence surgery was done previously, including a ...
