Vaginal calculi are classified according to the pathogenesis of calculus formation. Primary and secondary vaginal calculi. In this article, we present an interesting case that we believe to be a mixed primary and secondary vaginal calculi in which both originated as a result of a vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) and stitches found in the vagina.

Aims: We compared the outcomes of unstented repair (UR) versus stented repair (SR) in patients with mid-shaft to coronal hypospadias (HS) to elucidate if SR has any advantage over the UR.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively studied our mid-shaft to coronal HS repair patients between January 2013 and January 2018. We recorded variables such as degree of HS, age at repair, surgeon, type of repair, suture used, stent usage, and standard early and late complications.

Leiomyosarcoma is an aggressive soft tissue tumor originating from smooth muscle cells typically of the uterus, gastrointestinal, or genitourinary system. The most common site of leiomyosarcoma of soft tissue is the retroperitoneum, accounting for 50% of all cases. The majority of patients are asymptomatic, which may be due to the large retroperitoneal cavity.

The urachus is a midline tubular structure that extend between bladder dome and umbilicus which result from incomplete regression during normal development. Defective obliteration of the urachus is rare and can result in urachal abnormalities, most commonly malignant masses. Xanthogranulomatous urachal masses are rare forms of chronic inflammatory processes with only few reported cases.

Objectives: To report our pilot experience (feasibility, morbidity and postoperative outcomes) of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for the treatment of patients with recurrent ovarian cancer and peritoneal carcinomatosis.

Methods: Thirty nine patients were retrospectively analyzed for perioperative details.

Results: The vast majority of patients had platinumsensitive disease (69.

Urolithiasis is a prevalent medical disease affecting the general population. Many epidemiological studies reported an association between a geographic area with a high mean daily temperature and urolithiasis disease. However, it is unclear if the seasonal variation in a high temperature geographical area will affect the acute presentation of renal colic to the emergency department.

Introduction: Varicocele is detected in 35%-50% of men with primary infertility and up to 81% with secondary infertility. Various studies have shown that varicocele is related to testicular hypotrophy and impaired spermatogenesis. The effect of varicocelectomy in mild-to-moderate male factor infertility has been well reported.

Purpose: The purpose of our study is to estimate the incidence of adnexal mass and ovarian cancers during pregnancy and to evaluate their effects on obstetrical and fetal outcomes.

Methods: We conducted a population-based cohort study using data from The Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project-Nationwide Inpatient Sample. Cases of ovarian mass during delivery were identified using International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM).

Incidence of malignant ovarian germ cell tumors (MOGCTs) in the Saudi Arabian population has not been studied before. Therefore, the primary objective of this study was to define the population-based incidence rates and histopathological types of MOGCTs in the Saudi Arabian population from 1999 to 2008. Our study showed that MOGCTs are a common type of ovarian tumors in the Saudi Arabian population, and the incidence rates and histopathological types are relatively comparable to the international populations with few differences.

Müllerian duct anomalies (MDAs) encompass a group of anatomical malformations resulting from defective development, fusion, migration, or resorption of Müllerian (paramesonephric) ducts during embryonic life. Herein, we report the first case of an exceedingly uncommon MDA (bilateral ectopic hypoplastic uteri attached to bilateral pelvic sidewalls) in a 21-year-old woman who was referred to our tertiary care center as a case of primary amenorrhea for workup and further management.

Frequency of pregnancy among childbearing age women with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing long-term periodic dialysis ranges from 1% to 7%. Although pregnancy in dialysis women with ESRD is considered a largely high-risk pregnancy, occurrence of successful pregnancy is not impossible with success rates approaching 70%. Rates of successful pregnancy are greatly impacted by early pregnancy diagnosis and preserved residual renal functions.

Myeloid sarcoma is a tumor of myoblasts or immature myeloid cells occurring in an extramedullary site. Myeloid sarcoma of the female genital tract as an isolated initial presentation or isolated relapse is very rare as evidenced from a literature review. We report a case of vulvar myeloid sarcoma presenting as isolated relapse of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT).
