[Schwannoma of the penis: a rare and unusual tumor of the external genital organs].

The authors report an isolated case of schwannoma of the penis in a 34-year-old man. The diagnosis was based on precise histological and immunohistochemical criteria and treatment consisted of simple surgical excision followed by clinical follow-up.

[Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome and multiple vesical hemangiomas: treatment with Neodymium:YAG laser].

The authors report the case of a patient presenting with bladder haemangiomas in the context of Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome treated by Neodymium:YAG laser. Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome consists of a combination of hypertrophy of a limb, cutaneous angiomas and varicose veins. Bladder haemangioma is a benign congenital vascular tumour associated with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome in 3 to 6% of cases, especially affecting children and young adults.

High-flow priapism in children: immediate treatment by selective embolization.

We present a case of a high-flow priapism related to a posttraumatic aneurysm in a ten-year-old boy treated by selective embolization. Patient history and thorough physical examination often lead to the diagnosis of high-flow priapism. Colour-coded duplex ultrasonography confirms the diagnosis, and treatment consists of angiographic embolization.

Extraperitoneal laparoscopic para-aortic lymph node dissection for early stage nonseminomatous germ cell tumors of the testis with introduction of a nerve sparing technique: description and results.

Purpose: The extraperitoneal approach is well suited to urological surgery. Transperitoneal laparoscopic para-aortic lymph node dissection has been reported with good results for early stage nonseminomatous germ cell tumor of the testis. We report our current experience with laparoscopic para-aortic lymph node dissection using a new extraperitoneal approach.

Evaluation of a fibrin sealant free of bovine-derived components in an experimental vas anastomosis study.

Objectives: The risk of transmission of bovine spongiform encephalopathy cannot be excluded from the use of bovine-derived products. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the performance of a new fibrin glue free of bovine-derived components in vas anastomosis and to compare this product to conventional vas anastomosis with fibrin glue.

Methods: Bilateral delayed vas anastomosis was performed in 40 Sprague-Dawley rats.
