Case Report: Laparoscopic Approach for Orchiopexy in a 26-Year-Old Man with Accidentally Discovered Persistent Müllerian Duct Syndrome and Bilateral Undescended Testis.

Persistent Müllerian duct syndrome (PMDS) is not a common form of disorder of sex development in which Müllerian duct derivatives (fallopian tubes, uterus, and the proximal vagina) are present in an otherwise normally differentiated 46 XY male. In most of cases, the challenge comes in the procedure of orchiopexy. We report a case of a 26-year-old man with PMDS.

Safety and efficacy of quartz head contact laser ablation for large prostates using 980-nm laser: a comparative prospective study against that for small- and medium-sized prostates.

Objective: To examine the safety and efficacy of quartz head laser ablation of the prostate (QLAP) in the treatment of large and huge prostates as compared with small- and medium-sized ones.

Materials And Methods: Two hundred forty-two patients with lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) were included in the study, of which 210 patients were evaluable. Patients were divided into 2 groups: group A: patients with BPH volume of <80 mL (120 patients) and group B patients with gland size ≥80 mL.

Quartz head contact laser fiber: a novel fiber for laser ablation of the prostate using the 980 nm high power diode laser.

Purpose: High power 980 nm diode laser ablation of the prostate using the side firing fiber has proven its efficiency and safety in treating lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia. Nevertheless, this procedure is associated with some drawbacks such as prolonged irritative symptoms and tissue sloughing. In this study we evaluated the clinical outcome of high power 980 nm diode laser ablation of the prostate using a new quartz head contact fiber, and compared it to the standard side firing fiber in a randomized fashion.

Functional and quality of life outcome of transobturator tape for treatment of female stress urinary.

Introduction And Hypothesis: this study aims to evaluate the functional outcome of transobturator tape (TOT) in treatment of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and its impact on patient quality of life (QoL).

Methods: sixty female patients with SUI underwent TOT operation, outside-in technique. Forty-eight patients completed the study.
