Primary bilateral non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the adrenal gland.

Primary bilateral non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) of the adrenal gland is very rare. Herein, we report the case of a high-grade lymphoma of both adrenal glands that was found in a 38-year-old patient. The patient was admitted because of an ultrasound which demonstrated large bilateral adrenal masses.

Surgical results of anderson-hynes dismembered pyeloplasty without internal drainage in adults with ureteroplevic junction obstruction.

Background: Anderson-Hynes dismembered pyeloplasty is the gold standard therapeutic approach to ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO). Use of a drainage method to protect the suture line from leakage is a matter of controversy.

Objectives: We have compared the surgical outcome of Anderson-Hynes dismembered pyeloplasty for UPJO repair, with or without internal stenting.

Normal black kidney.

A black kidney has 3 major differential diagnoses: hemosiderosis, lipofuscin pigment and melanotic renal cell carcinoma. Excluding lipofuscin, the other 2 are accompanied by an abnormal renal function. We report on a 25-year-old man who intended to donate a kidney to his cousin.

One-stage transperineal repair of pan-urethral stricture with dorsally placed buccal mucosal grafts: results, complications, and surgical technique.

Purpose: To report the surgical details and results of one-stage transperineal urethroplasty using dorsal buccal mucosal graft (BMG) in treatment of panurethral stricture.

Materials And Methods: This cohort study was carried out on 17 men with pan-urethral stricture who underwent one-stage transperineal BMG urethroplasty. Failure was defined as a need to any intervention during the follow-up period.

Salvage repair of vesicovaginal fistula.

Purpose: To present the long-term results of failed vesicovaginal fistula repair using flap splitting techniques.

Materials And Methods: Nine women with a previous failed vesicovaginal fistula repair, aged 18 to 69 years, underwent salvage vaginal reconstruction for damaged urethra or bladder, at a five-year interval lasting from 2003 to 2007. Fistulas were repaired using an interposed pediculated vaginal wall flap.

Triamcinolone injection following internal urethrotomy for treatment of urethral stricture.

Purpose: To investigate the success rate of internal urethrotomy when combined with corticosteroid injection in urethral scar tissue for treatment of urethral stricture.

Materials And Methods: We performed a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study on 70 patients with urethral stricture, who underwent internal urethrotomy from June 2003 to July 2008. Patients were randomized into 2 groups; the experimental group (34 patients) who received triamcinolone acetonide injection and the control group (36 patients) that received an injection of sterile water after internal urethrotomy.
