"Diabetic penile necrosis'': A rare but serious complication of diabetes mellitus.

Penile tissue death caused by impaired blood flow and nerve damage is a severe but uncommon complication of diabetes mellitus known as diabetic penile necrosis. Diabetes related vascular and neurological issues result in reduced sensation and limited blood supply to the penis leading to this condition. The consequences on sexual function and quality of life are catastrophic though it's rare, hence early identification, treatment intervention cannot be over emphasized since they help prevent further deterioration including infections that arise from complications occasioned by delayed management.

Safety and feasibility of same-day discharge laparoscopic radical prostatectomy: a systematic review.

Purpose: Day case or same-day discharge (SDD) pure laparoscopic or robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RP) has risen over the last few years with the aim of discharging patients within 24 h, reducing costs and length of stay, and facilitating return to active life. We perform a systematic review of literature to evaluate the feasibility of SDD RP.

Methods: A systematic review search was performed and the following bibliographic databases were accessed: PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, and Embase.

[Bacteriological correlation of urinary stones and preoperative urine culture: Is there a significant impact on postoperative infectious risk? (Moroccan experience)].

Aim: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the impact of preoperative urine culture and the infected nature of stones on the occurrence of postoperative urinary sepsis.

Material And Methods: A prospective monocentric study included 29 patients operated on for urolithiasis between January and June 2018.

Results: Postoperative urinary sepsis was observed in 4 patients (14%).

[Malignant renal epithelioid angiomyolipoma (EAML): about a rare case].

Malignant renal epithelioid angiomyolipoma (EAML) is a rare disease which has long been considered a hamartomatous lesion. Positive diagnosis is purely based on immunohistochemical investigation. Microscopically, it is characterized by mononuclear epithelioid cells showing a clear cytoplasm with severe cytonuclear atypies and expressing smooth muscle cell markers and melanocytic markers (HMB 45).

A systematic review of contemporary management of oligometastatic prostate cancer: fighting a challenge or tilting at windmills?

Purpose: Amongst the unanswered questions regarding prostate cancer (PCa), the optimal management of oligometastatic disease remains one of the major concerns of the scientific community. The very existence of this category is still subject to controversy. Aim of this systematic review is to summarize current available data on the most appropriate management of oligometastatic PCa.

[Favorable evolution after medical treatment in three cases of emphysematous pyelonephritis: about 3 cases].

Emphysematous pyelonephritis is a necrotic infection of the kidney characterized by the presence of gas within the renal parenchyma, the secretory cavities or the perirenal spaces. It is a severe condition that could be life-threatening. Patient's management remains controversial and is based either on surgery or on medical treatment.

Prostatic Abscess on Xanthogranulomatous Prostatitis: Uncommon Complication of an Uncommon Disease.

Xanthogranulomatous prostatitis is a rare benign inflammatory process of the prostate. Only few cases have been reported in the English literature. Xanthogranulomatous prostatitis is usually an incidental finding after needle biopsy or transurethral resection of the prostate in patients suffering from low urinary tract symptoms.

Lymphoepithelioma-Like Carcinoma of the Bladder: A Case Report of a Rare and Particular Variant of Urothelial Carcinoma.

Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of the bladder (LELCB) is a rare variant of urothelial carcinoma first described by Zukerberg in 1991 and confirmed as a variant of urothelial carcinoma by the WHO classification of tumors of the urinary system. LELCB is characterized by a marked infiltration of lymphocytes in the area involved by the tumor which may coexist with the conventional urothelial carcinoma. LELCB are classified according to the percentage of lymphoepithelioma component within the tumor with the prognosis depending on the percentage.

Penile Gangrene and Necrosis Leading to Death Secondary to Strangulation by Condom Catheter.

Condom catheters are widely used in the management of male urinary incontinence, bedridden patients, and geriatric population. They are considered to be safe; however they are associated with serious complications in case of an incorrect use. We report a dramatic case of penile strangulation by condom catheter tardily discovered till occurrence of necrosis and gangrene leading to death in an elderly bedridden and diabetic man.

Ileal conduit vs orthotopic neobladder: Which one offers the best health-related quality of life in patients undergoing radical cystectomy? A systematic review of literature and meta-analysis.

Introduction: Orthotopic neobladder (ONB) and ileal conduit (IC) are the most commonly practiced techniques of urinary diversion (UD) after radical cystectomy (RC) in bladder cancer patients. Data in the literature is still discordant regarding which UD technique offers the best HR-QoL.
