Unusual rectal foreign body presenting as intestinal obstruction: a case report.

Colorectal foreign bodies are infrequently encountered, and are mostly associated with increased incidence of homosexuality and anal auto-erotism. The diagnosis may be confirmed by plain abdominal radiographs and rectal examination, but abdominal computerized tomography can be decisive in the further management. Manual extraction is only possible for very low-lying objects; patients with high-lying foreign bodies usually require a major intervention in the operation theater.

Comprehensive analysis of etiology on the prognosis of urethral strictures.

Introduction: Urethral strictures remain a reconstructive dilemma, due to high incidence of recurrence and less than satisfactory outcomes. Even experienced surgeons following strict surgical principles have not achieved optimal results, leading us to think whether the etiology of strictures dictate the outcome . We evaluated this "cause-effect" relationship highlighting the significance of the etiology on the overall prognosis of urethral strictures.

A retrospective analysis of delayed complications of urethroplasty at a tertiary care centre.

Urethroplasty is commonly performed worldwide by reconstructive urologists and such a large scale practice is often faced with numerous complications, yet "complication based analysis" still persists as a gray area. Our study aims to provide an evaluation of long-term post-urethroplasty complications, after the five commonly practiced procedures, at our centre. 302 male patients with urethral strictures due to various etiologies were assessed preoperatively via retrograde urethrogram, urethrosonogram, and uroflowmetry.

Large mucinous adenoma of pancreas presenting with recurrent pancreatitis.

Cystic pancreatic tumors are an unfamiliar and rare entity even after the advent of modern abdominal imaging. Mucinous pancreatic tumors presenting with features of pancreatitis is a rare phenomenon moreover it creates a diagnostic dilemma and can lead to mismanagement. We report here such a case of mucinous cyst adenoma presented as recurrent pancreatitis and mimicking as a pancreatic pseudocyst.

Prognosis of urethral strictures following pelvic fracture urethral distraction defects--a single centre study.

Introduction: Urethral strictures remain a reconstructive dilemma due to high incidence of recurrence and unsatisfactory outcomes. Pelvic trauma remains the foremost etiology leading to morbidity. We evaluated this "cause-effect" relationship of pelvic trauma to stricture outcome, to replenish our understanding of contemporary urethral strictures and highlight significance of type, degree and influence of primary management of pelvic trauma on the overall prognosis of urethral strictures.

Paediatric pancreatic problems: a five-year experience.

Background: To analyse a tertiary care experience with various pancreatic problems in the paediatric age group and clarify the frequency of various pancreatic diseases in the same patient population as well as the role of surgical or conservative management in their treatment.

Patients And Methods: All patients with clinical suspicion of disease pertaining to the pancreas, substantiated by laboratory investigations or imaging modalities over a period of five years are included in our study.

Results: Of the total 228 patients with various pancreatic problems, who presented to us, mostly with acute pancreatitis and pancreatic trauma, 64 needed surgical interventions.

Rare asymptomatic presentations of schwannomas in early adolescence: three cases with review of literature.

Introduction: Schwannoma also known as Neurilemoma is a benign neoplasm of the Schwann Cells of the neural sheath. They are usually found to occur in the extremities, but can also be found in the trunk, head and neck, pelvis, and rectum. It is seldom painful and usually remains small.

Degloving injury to the penis.

A case of reconstruction after penile skin avulsion is described in an eight-year-old boy. Penile coverage was gained by use of the avulsed skin flap itself, without a graft or local tissue flap. The procedure avoids any valuable time delay; thus, enhancing the chances to obtain adequate flap viability, avoids patient discomfort caused by perineal expansion, gives a satisfactory cosmetic appearance, and taking into account his age, avoids future psychosomatic and psychosexual problems.
