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...

Isolated epispadias occurs in 10% of cases. Continent and incontinent epispadias may be distinguished. We report the case of a 29-year old patient presenting with dysuria associated with the impossibility of having sexual...

BACKGROUND Anterior urethral stricture remains a great challenge. We reported our clinical technique and results by using inlay dorsal buccal mucosal graft urethroplasty for repair of anterior urethral stricture. METHODS From January 2005 to July 2008, 87 male patients (range from 9 to 72 years old) with anterior urethral stricture have been treated by one-stage dorsal inlay oral mucosal graf...
