[Migration intravésicale d’un dispositif intra-utérin Cas clinique et revue de la littérature].

Intravesical migration of intrauterine device (IUD) is a rare complication. We report a case of IUD that migrated into the bladder of a 31-year-old woman who had it for four years, and presented with irritative bladder symptoms following a miscarriage. The diagnosis was first suspected by an ultrasound and confirmed by cystoscopy.

Is the Fowler-Stephens procedure still indicated for the treatment of nonpalpable intraabdominal testis?

Purpose: There are no formal guidelines for the management of boys with nonpalpable testis. In this article, we report our experience in treating all nonpalpable intraabdominal testis (NPIT) with standard inguinal orchidopexy without dividing the spermatic vessels stating that the Fowler-Stephens technique is no longer indicated for the treatment of the intraabdominal testis.

Methods: Between June 2003 and April 2008, we treated 23 boys with NPIT confirmed by ultrasound or laparoscopy.
